    XP File Copy Utility

    Is there a better and faster way to copy files than using the conventional File Copy utility.


    Anything I post is an example only and is not intended to be the only solution, the total solution nor the final solution to your request nor do I claim that it is. If you find it useful then it is entirely up to you to make whatever changes necessary you feel are adequate for your purposes.

    i've used teracopy before with no complaints. Fastcopy is supposed to be faster though.

    Re: XP File Copy Utility

    I'm using FastCopy now and I think there is something wrong with it. I have 50 folders each with a 2-hour movie in it. Each folder contains the same type of files and are the same size. FasyCopy has now been running 20 hours and only 7 1/2 folders have been copied where it took approx. 1 hour to copy the first folder.

    • Are the source folders and destination folders on different drives?
    • Is the source drive's files fragmented?
    • Have you tweaked FastCopy's settings? (FastCopy.ini) Here are my settings:


    Code:
