For the past few months I’ve been using a piace of software called Teracopy, and it’s become a real favourite of mine.
It’s a real example of having to re-engineer something you’d think the operating system would do properly but copying in windows (even the dreaded Vista) is a slow and painstaking process, especially if you have a large number of files to copy.
Teracopy gives you great feedback as to what has been copied, gives you a listing of the file copy queue and handles all sorts of errors really gracefully. It’s absolutely worth a download and, if you’re not using it for personal use, the registration fee.
