Want to copy files fast? Meet CopyHandler!
Few posts before I’ve suggested using TeraCopy as a file copy handler Windows.
After a while I’ve noticed its cons. The major one is that it takes
TeraCopy a few seconds to initiate the file transfer. This caused copying or moving a bunch of links for example the take a lot more then it should.
Now I have a new favorite, an open-source software called CopyHandler. although it has an ugly GUI, it’s fast and highly configurable as opposed to TeraCopy.
Copy Handler program is a small tool designed for copy/move files and folders between different storage medias (hard disks, floppy disks, local networks, CD-ROMs and many other).
Advantages of the program:
-
copying data at rates up to 6-7 times faster than standard MS Windows copying (when copying data from one partiton to another on the same physical hard disk);
-
allow full-control over the copying/moving process by pause, resume, restart and cancel features;
-
fully customizable - over 60 detailed options - from setting language (multiple languages) through auto-resume on error, shutting down system after copying finished to very detailed and technical (customizing copy/move thread - buffer sizes, thread priority, …) ending on sounds on specific events;
-
multiple languages support - and more may appear, since the translation process is quite easy;
-
provides detailed informations about copy/move process (currect file, buffer sizes, priority, progress by size and visual bar, status, current and average speed, time elapsed/left, …);
-
can automatically resume all unfinished operations when system starts;
-
limiting count of simultaneously processing tasks (copyings/movings) - tasks are set into a queue and are processed in order it was inserted into queue;
-
integration with system - adds additional commands to context menus of folders and drag&drop menus;
-
this program is open source - just download and use…
Want to copy big files fast? Meet TeraCopy!
Every time I need to move big files around in my harddrive, I’m rubbing my head and questioning myself what on earth do M$ engineers had in mind while coding that lame copy system.
Here is my list of cons, probably I forgot some:
- Can’t pause or resume file copy operation
- Can’t queue file copy operation
- Not using bigger buffer when copying to the same HD, hence, killing the HD heads and much slower file copy
- Not checking for sufficient space BEFORE starting the copy process
One day I’ve decide that that’s enough, and after googling a little, I’ve stumbled upon this little software called TeraCopy.
I’ve given it a chance and I can say that I was amused, as all the cons that I have stated are dealt with TeraCopy in ease, and for free too!
That was too easy 
Now I can go wild copying from here to there without a worry while TeraCopy just keeps my new requests on queue while processing the first request. saving me time and headache. I can copy a file, pause it because I would like to game a little and continue copying it after I have finished gaming.
I have to say that there is a paid version of TeraCopy that its main advantage on the free one is, that one can manipulate TeraCopy’s queue.
