Have to agree: TC 2.01 is still buggy. Reproducible error: Start a copy of two large files (5GB +) from Windows 7 (64-bit) to NAS. Once that starts, start a second similar copy from another Windows 7 folder to a different folder on the same NAS. Now the second copy waits, and waits, and waits .. Long after the first copy is done, it keeps waiting.

Have to say I prefer the old behaviour of everything in one TC window - can we bring that behaviour back as an option?

I too - have been a fan of TC for a long time but yesterday’s complete and utter failure to “move” a large file set from one location to another was finally the last straw. I am using the very latest 2.01 build and about 10% into a 197GB transfer - TC just stopped on a particular file and it took me about 2 minutes of clicking Skip, Resume etc etc before the bloody program would snap of of whatever hissy fit it was having.

It happened again about 10 minutes later and then again 15 minutes later. I checked and rechecked the files it was complaining about and found noting wrong. I uninstalled TC and when to the standard Vista Business move process which completed successfully with no issues in no time.

This product had a bright future here and I recommended it to many of my collegues - now tho - especially with the “move” function completely broken (leaves the original files/folder where they are - even tho I am asking for a move)it has been banished.

File move/copy in Vista SP2 is as fast or faster and does not make any mistakes.

Continued success….

Well, I’ve had to banish TV from all of the machines I’m responsible for at home. Mystery deletions of original files before the copy is verified, failure to integrate properly on Vista Home Premium, inconsistant behavor under Win7, none of which I want to deal with.

mai9 :The favorite folders could be shown in the menu that opens when clicking “copy to” or “move to”, next to the recent used. And those could be set on the preferences window. I see you can also add them when clicking on the path after copying. That was also a good move. This prove I really don’t need that extra window added recently.

That was also what I was expecting when I saw the “Favorite Folders” feature.

I have to say that I don’t like this new window showed above (link). When it pops up I immediatelly press the second button “add files to teracopy” to show the normal window and choose there the path to copy/move to. Like other users I would prefer to get rid of it (sorry Jeff) to be more productive.

@kraghavk
You might want to check if your antivirus program (probably NOD32) is having a false positive. This is usually how IE and Firefox act when a remote connection is terminated by an A/V prog.

@Jeff
You should submit it to ESET. I in addition to sKz and kraghavk are all having problems with it being flagged as a virus by NOD32.

Hi,

I have been using TeraCopy on Vista for already more than a year now. It true that Vista SP1 onwards, the native copy program shipped with Vista has improved in terms of speed. But, as more than one commenters have pointed out, TeraCopy is more than handy if you are dealing with large file sets.

I am currently using 2.0 beta 4 and for some reason I decided to upgrade to the stable v2.0.1. But the download links are not working. I tried using both Firefox and IE8 to download but can’t.

IE stops for a while after downloading 99% and shows an error saying the connection with the server was reset.

Firefox also downloads 99% and shows an error saying the source file cannot be read.

As a last attempt, I tried using DownThemAll firefox extension. It reports an error saying that the file size in the HTTP header does not match with the size of the file downloaded.

However, I tried renaming the partial download file to exe and executing it to no avail. The MSI installer says, files are corrupt.

Please fix this ASAP.

Thanks,
kraghavk

Argggg….. I always miss every sell on TeraCopy. I have been waiting to purchase it when there is a sale and haven’t caught it yet! :) Oh well, maybe one day I will stumble upon it on the right day. I guess I will keep using the free version. Dang.
