FastCopy is a file copy and synchronization tool with a variety of available extras. It uses different strategies (multi-threading, buffering) to help ensure maximum device throughput, as well as optional verification to make sure data is transferred correctly. It does not use the system cache, so other processes do not get bogged down during the copy process and a speed setting is also available, including pause. It supports Unix-style include/exclude wildcards filters.
Alternatively, PortableApps.com packages the last open source version as FastCopy Portable.

Version 5 license change: "It is only available for free use by individuals (non-profit) within the household."
Some features are only available in the Pro version
v5.0.0
@tman version 3.6.3 works fine for me ;)
v3.92
Very handy for big copying jobs. It lets you carry on working without the transfer bogging down everything else.
v3.81
JudyGarland - What about that low level access in ver.3.54? Was it doing anything bad?
v3.60
@webfork: FC 3.60 - please update 'How to extract' section - zip package is not available anymore.
v3.60
Judy: could you post a screenshot in forums? The dev sometimes checks in on our site.
v3.54
v 3.54 tries a 'low level access' to my hdd. Previous versions did not show this behaviour. This 'new feature' is not mentioned on release notes.
v3.54
Thanks zorro. Updated entry.
v3.52
The newly introduced installer writes to the registry when choosing "extract only" (key: HKCU\Software\HSTools)
v3.51
Re: the license change, it looks like no previously free features have been removed from the free version, and there are some improvements - so still worth updating if only for private use.
v5.0.5
