Windows Vista/XP / Freeware / 28,003 downloads

TeraCopy is a compact program designed to copy and move files at the maximum possible speed, also providing you with a lot of features. It uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives. Pause and resume file transfers. In case of copy error, it will try several times and in the worse case just skips the file, not terminating the entire transfer. It can completely replace Explorer copy and move functions, allowing you work with files as usual.

    Since mid 2010 TeraCopy V 2.12 works great within my Windows XP Home Sp3 pc.
    Recently, I installed V 2.27 on an other machine with Windows XP Prof Sp3, but there was already a problem during install : machine hangs.
    After reboot I reïnstalled TeraCopy and tried to copy a few files. Again the machine freezes.
    After rebooting I deïnstalled V2.27 and switched over to V 2.12. Now the old version works smoothly.
    What causes the problem ?

    Teracopy works great. I love the way it integrates into the shell, enabling "Teracopy" and "Teramove". Granted, it slows down copying, but is actually faster if you run into errors that Windows Explorer can not handle. You can skip over the bad file and keep going. I tried the other copy programs. FastCopy is pretty good, offering a portable version that can add and remove shell extensions. It may be out of development, no updates since Feb '11. Extremecopy is pretty useless for Explorer shell (right mouse click) users. I simply can't use it without shell extensions.

    Give Teracopy a 4.5, it isn't quite perfect.

    Thanks. I just tested tera against extreme and extreme gave me a 30 mb/s boost between two hd's. Tera maxed out at 60 taking 25s for a large video file and extreme took around 14s. Only slight improvement to flash which is to be expected.

    Currently ExtremeCopy and FastCopy are the fastest, both free. ExtremeCopy's GUI is better though and it integrates in Windows, so that's the best one.

    Tried it. Thanks, but NO thanks. Windows XP manage it all far better itself.
