Is there a better and faster way to copy files than using the conventional File Copy utility.
http://www.techsupportalert.com/best...py-utility.htm
i've used teracopy before with no complaints. Fastcopy is supposed to be faster though.
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:
