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 For someone who's put up with outdated software (Win98,) he/she seems to require an awful lot of functionality out of a copying tool.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.

    • Everyone and every country who doesn't support Israel's aggression, terrorism and hypocrisy is their immediate enemy. You can definitely see how many innocent people they are killing almost everyday. In fact they're the actual Neo-Nazi who holds Hitler's ideology.
    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.
    • Flying as the central point eh... As a massive Spyro fan who has replayed the Reignited Trilogy three times and the originals 4 times... I have some doubts, but maybe...
