If there is one thing we have noticed about sharing music, movies or TV Shows with friends, copying can be a real pain. Large amounts of data to be copied is quite a paramount task for the Windows default file copying system. It does pull it off but not as efficiently as it can or it should. So we have these two suggestions as alternatives to the Windows default file copying system.
1) TeraCopy

| Typical Transfer Window |
Open source copying software developed by Code Sector is an extremely efficient copying substitute for the in-built option in Windows. The application can completely substitute the default file copying system altogether, and also adds an option in the file and folder context menu which allows the user to directly invoke the transfer option using the TeraCopy client. TeraCopy also groups all the transfers whilst copying in the same copying window also giving their current status. TearCopy skips any bad files again speeding up the transfer process. TeraCopy also has a provision to pause the file transfer operation. It has a nifty interface with a two bar system displaying the total percentage of completion and one bar to show current file progress. The transfer window also expands to show individual file statuses.
2)FastCopy

FastCopy is also an effective alternative for file transfer as well, but doesn't replace the Windows file copying system entirely because for any copying process the app needs to be opened explicitly and the files to be copied needs to be specified. But this being the only disadvantage FastCopy gives an incredibly fast copying option for both big files and complex folder hierarchies. And beats both the default Windows file transfer option and TeraCopy. The application itself is extremely simple with options for selecting the source file and the destination address and a speed of copying option. The application offers a whole bundle of choices to the experienced use, if you aren't the most experienced user we suggest you skip all the technical jargon and skip straight to the copying. Once the copying process has been completed it gives details of speed of copy of individual file copy rates and the final result of the attempt to copy. FastCopy works very effectively for copying massive amounts of data, but is not pragmatic for everyday copying needs and the Ctrl+C Ctrl+V user.
All in all the default Windows copying is not an effective copying mechanism, done intentionally or not, as a replacement we suggest you try one of the above copying software depending on your needs as they tap your computer config's potential to copy faster.
