Win Explorer is slow and resource heavy when copying files, frequently resulting in laptop drive overheating, errors and freezes, especially when copying very large files or folders with a lot of small files at once. What's the best file copy utility for Win98SE? It should be light on resources, very fast, allow Pause & Resume. Copying large files from / to network drives in parallel sessions each (similar to multi-segment parallel file downloads by Download Managers) is desired.

Erm. If your having issues with hd overheating, I'm not surprised running such an old system (either that or your running an old OS). Give XP and Vista (especially) transfer a try. But to be honest if your running a 10 year old HD, no wondering its crashing.

This just reeks of SPAM..

1 post wonder asking about something, giving all the details of what the solution should do.. Let me guess in a day or so there will be another 1 post wonder with an answer, or even the same poster coming back saying they found the perfect solution with a link to software X.

The only thing that seems odd is the win98SE part -- Who and the F is still actively using that? I mean really???

Pabs,

I chuckled when I read the topic, but laughed Out Loud when I read your post. No Shxx. Maybe Ctrl C and Ctrl V didn't work on his version of windows 98

course, in a few years I might be the object of ridicule. I'm gonna stay on XP until Msft comes up with something better, and it ain't Vista. Asta La Vista, baby!

Congrats on paraphrasing a software's description note (this explains the edits made) in the form of a question. For someone who's put up with outdated software (Win98,) he/she seems to require an awful lot of functionality out of a copying tool.

Buy a new computer. Seriously!

Basically -- he is running Parallels -- so that tells me he is running Win98SE in a Virtual Environment which in that things are emulated and not real hardware. So I don't even know if any program will upgrade the speed. Possibly may be fixed in a Parallels Update.

I run into similar issues for it being slow-- On my NT4SP6a V-M. Though I have a Windows ME virtual for my 9x and it still is slow- I use virtual box.
