TeraCopy is a software application for Microsoft Windows that is designed to be used to move or copy computer files. As an alternative to the native copy operations within Windows, it is designed to be faster and have more functionality than the native tool.
Design
TeraCopy uses dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. Asynchronous copy speeds up file transfer between two physical hard drives. The processes can be paused or resumed.[3]
In case of transfer errors, TeraCopy will try several times; after that, it skips the faulty file and proceeds with the rest of the operation. TeraCopy also shows failed file transfers and allows the user to fix the problem and recopy the problematic files.[3]
TeraCopy can replace Explorer copy and move functions. The author asserts that it has full Unicode support.[3]
This software integrates into the Windows Operating System and appears whenever you try to cut/copy files using Windows Explorer. You will feel the difference while pasting the contents. TerraCopy asks for the destination folder along with a list of the last 5 destinations used by you to paste the files. You may choose the destination directly from the list without the hassle of moving to it in Windows Explorer.[3]
Licensing
TeraCopy is freeware but may only be used in a non-commercial environment. TeraCopy Pro, a shareware version of the application, adds additional features such as having a list of favorite folders to be used as a copy destination and the ability to modify the copy queue.[3]
Reception
On 17 August 2007, Softpedia reviewed TeraCopy. Ionut Ilascu, Softpedia reviewer, commended the application on its ability for its error recovery functionality but concluded "TeraCopy is a lot faster than Windows Explorer on XP is, but only with proper defragmentation. On Vista, it moves a tad slower even if defragmentation of the disk has been performed."[4]
