FastCopy 3.81

The default windows explorer does its job pretty well. In fact, if you've remembered all your keyboard shortcuts, it works near flawlessly. The only slowdowns it has are during searches through giant drives...and apparently, copying files. FastCopy aims to help with the latter issue. However, if your computer's already relatively fast at copying files, you'll find little of use here.

The most noticeable thing I found out when I went to install this program is that it redirected me to a very Japanese website. I suppose I should have expected it, seeing as the developer's name is Shirouzu Hiroaki, but it made finding the installer very difficult. High school Japanese didn't prepare me for that. 

Next, the installer itself had very broken English, and it continued on into FastCopy itself. It seems like a fully machine translated piece of software. It's possible to understand the general gist of everything, though. The Help file, thankfully, is perfectly legible. However, the terms are now instead incredibly technical, making it difficult for newcomers to use. It's laden with jargon that would be familiar with veteran users, but newcomers will likely be lost.

The interface itself is incredibly basic...in fact, if you were to ask me how to simplify it further, I genuinely wouldn't know what to suggest. Everything is so minimal already that to simplify it further would be removing features. In some personal tests I ran, I found that files under 500 MB had similar transfer times, but FastCopy started edging out after that. If you constantly transfer large files, then this program is for you!
