    I have been using TeraCopy for a long time now. I dont think it is faster but the time left is calculated more accurately and there are additional features such as CRC check, pause and restart.

    I have been using it for years myself when i need to move large quantity of files and need to be 100% certain that they have copied perfectly.

    Tried it some time ago when was doing 1Tb+ material backup/moving.

    It's ok but not faster or better then total commander copy/move function.

    And there is at least 2 more copy/move utils I tried same time SuperCopyer,Fastercopy ..

    ps.: I'm using 1000s of utilities .. not going to post each and every of them in different topics.
    Do your own review and not just copy paste, posting like this called spam.

    1000s of utilities, huh, I might have a 50+ great utils after 25 years of using pc`s , and TeraCopy is a good util and well worth sharing.

    It's not super fast, but it doesn't freeze when copying big files, which sometimes is the problem with default windows copy/paste function...

    It's definitely my favourite copy program

    TeraCopy's not bad, but FastCopy is a more compelling option--it consistently outperforms TeraCopy and Windows copying alike, and never crashes. Plus, I actually kind of like its sparse, utilitarian interface. I also like how it is standalone and does not have to be shell-integrated.

    With Tetracopy, you can rightclick a file and get Tetracopy to copy it to anywhere, I cannot see that option with Fastcopy, you acctualy have to load the Fastcopy util and then select source and destination.
