It's happened to all of us. you have a giant batch of files that you're copying or moving to another location. You're about 15 minutes in. Something happens. The USB drive is removed, or you have to shut down your PC. Your only option is to start all over, not knowing what was succesfully copied.

Teracopy does one thing only, but it does that one thing very well. it copies and moves files. Sounds like overkill? That's what I thought until I started using it. Let's say you're organizing your video library. With Teracopy, you don't have to wait for each file to copy over before moving on to the next. You just keep copying. The software queues up your files, so your system isn't slowed down. You can pause and resume transfers or clear something out of the queue. If there's a copying error, it will retry several times.

Oh, and it's faster. When copying from one drive to another, it's a lot faster. I don't really understand how it does it, but this quote is from their website: "TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives." I can't comment on that, I will take their word for it, but I can vouch that it is definitely a lot more zippy.

I thought a file copy software was dumb. I tried it and like it!
