The file copy functionality in Windows Explorer lacks several things, especially when it comes to file copying over a local area network (LAN) using a wireless connection:

• Pause / Resume of file copy
• Resume after power failure or connection failure
• Speed limit that allows one to throttle the transfer rate
• Display the actual transfer rate during the file copy

There are different solutions available which can replace the file copy mechanism and deliver these features:

• Total Copy (Freeware)
• Killcopy (Freeware)
• TeraCopy (Freeware)
• Secure Copy (Shareware)
• Advanced LAN Pump (Shareware) (Ver. 2.31 Freeware)
• SuperCopier (Open source)
