Random Freeware Review

Every week, or whenever I feel like it, I will review some piece of freeware I feel will make your life better.

Today we'll start with a nice little program called TeraCopy.

Teracopy is one of those tools that you never knew you needed but once you have it, you can't imagine being without it. It takes over the default Windows functions for copying and moving files. It's tightly connected, so you just copy and paste files in Explorer as normal. However, it has a lot more features.

Here are just a few.

1. Does the job faster. Move your crap faster then you would with the default controls.

2. CRC testing. As an option, you can have Teracopy test the checksum values of files after you move them. That means no more wondering if a file copied correctly, you'll know the data is perfectly transferred.

3. Full error display. Man, don't you hate it when Windows just throws it's hands up in the air when you're transferring 100 files and says "I don't know what's wrong so I'm stopping the whole dang operation."? Well, Teracopy not only just skips over such problems and keeps transferring, but it displays WHAT file had a problem, with detailed information as to what the issue was, to help you fix it.

4. PAUSE. Holy crap, I can pause my file transfer that would normally take up a large amount of resources to do something productive for a bit, like loading up Counter-Strike and pwning some guy who just taunted you via Steam PM.

5. Forget about things a lot? You can set it to play a little chime once your transfers are done.

6. Ease of use. My grandmother can use this program!

Overall, there is no reason not to get this program.
