#8 and #22 both starts off with why do I get the feeling,and number 8 was talking about how he/she thinks 2 and 5 are the same person,Just thought that was funny beacuse I am wondering if 8 and 22 are the same person.

#24 Yes I saw that yesterday,I also had too look twice,lol.

#31 I noticed the same thing with 2 and 4.

#44 Thanks for the link,very useful for me.


Yea I think thats it

Arjan (#9), you post many similar comments of virtually no use on this page, mostly based around your individual operating problem. Other people don't get these in the frequency you do. I suggest you go away and read up on how to operate your computer. So in a scale from 0-10 I give you 1 point.

And, while I'm having a rant, #13 and many others - you need to get educated on basic spelling, or employ a spell-checker. Your comment is almost wasted as it makes no sense at all.

As for the prog, I'm gonna try it. I hope it's more than the equivalent of lowering the copy process priority on task manager...

With all of the reported problems, I can't use this (I don't really need it, anyway).

#39, Applian.com has a lot of products that do what you want (most aren't free, but the demos are).

After yesterday's MASSIVE game failure to open, I got this partly as a test and also to see if it helped me. This app I was able to extract. However, I didn't get an activation method, so I guess it may turn out to be a trial in more than one sense. Thanks again for the alternatives.

Seems to work pretty good. Uses very little CPU during copying process. Would be nice if it added a context menu item such as copy with.

Will pass on this after reading bladedthoth's review

Great Software! Thanks a lot GOTD!

HAHAHA Jehosephat: What's "obscene" about humping a purple horn of plenty?? Looks like good clean fun to me! I mean, it IS a horn of plenty! :-) !

Copy to tweak is all you need, that is free.

Lee Smith Goldburg

drag with mouse much easier!! whatever..

Useful program, but I use acronis so wont install this. Hey Give Away Of The Day how about some more tickers? Some with graphics would be great, thanks

it is only ok for the copying but i want a software like this becase i have many a file to copy so please get a better one than this gotd company

#21, ESSELF ... there are forum categories for posting software requests; you can find them by clicking on the 'forum' link at the top of the page and choosing 'Software Talks' or 'Good Software We Need To Know About.' You can also find links to good software in the 'General Discussion' category.

If you check there now, I bet you find a list of free WYSIWYG editors.

Did anyone see the comments for the game? There are some interesting commments!

Check out ProcessTamer. It monitors any program that is hogging CPU usage and slowing down other programs running at the same time. Freeware, with renewable license required.

A file copier? Come on guys...

OK 24 LOL!! As the software says it does copy files out of folders to somewere else you want them. But however #19 suggestion is the best. It works without having to add files or folders to move just have it running and it copys or moves anything you want FAST!!!!! By right clicking or selecting it (on xp) Thanks for the link. And thank you GAOD.

LMFAO!!!! #24 You made my day man!

#8 You might have read the copy--it isn't CPU bound problems that the program addresses--it's DISK ACCESS.

Like #15, I think this is great. I am: P-P up/down loading 11 large files, have 5 browser windows open in two different browsers (200+ windows), an email client, an html editor and an ftp program running, and I have to crank down my bandwidth on th p-p anytime I want to so much as listen to music.

Thanks again GOTD!

Now if someone would write code that prevented politicians from lying and violating their oaths of office....

Thanks for the review bladedthoth! I am always impressed by them and they are very helpful.

Tangent question: Does anyone know of any free audio recording software that records in "overwriting loops" to mp3? What I want to do is record internet radio while listening to it, but only the most recent 5 minutes, so if i hear a song I like I can just instruct the software to save that last 5 min to mp3 without it constantly recording hours of music that I don't want.

No. 7: learn some manners, your spoiled brat.

As for the rest, I guess you really only can make use of this starting from 1GB of RAM up.

ROFL @ #24 ahahahahaha

hehehe

Finally some software that will be useful to me :D

\o/

Hello all! Today's 15-Minute Review is up! Check it out!

http://www.bladedthoth.com/news/2007/04/05/15mr-silent-copy-v1-0-0-0/

#24 ROFLOL! Comment of the day!

Slick, but I'll stick with Copy Handler - which is always free and has MUCH more power and functionality.

I wouldn't use this, but it's a good sofftware nonetheless.

#24: SSSSSHHHHHHH just sit back and enjoy the show... lol...

Hey, #8.

Not sure if #2 and #5 are the same person, but #2 and #4 are certainly up there with "Alan" who regularly posts comments here comprised of word-for-word extracts of GOTD's page-top descriptions.

Useful, huh? Here's my contribution then:

When you copy a lot of files the total system performance goes down and use of applications becomes inconvenient. It happens that Windows gives almost all resources of hard drive to the copying process.

There. You didn't know that, did you?

Oh, as to my experience of this software: have downloaded, no probs activating, and it seems to run OK. But I don't stress out my PC so I guess I'm not likely to benefit as much from this as those who do.

Thanks to GOTD and enplase though for the opportunity to try this out.

Sigh. Well, I'm on 512 RAM, Celery 2.6, XP home. Things definitely slow down round here when I do a large file copy. Yesterday, I moved a large directory (10 gig) around on the network, and I just went and made a cup of coffee whilst it happened. I had finished the coffee by the time the copy had finished.

Re #24
Thanks
That gave me an early morning laugh, but the color is kind of scary


LOL

hey, 23, that just hows peeps can sign in there, bc nop1 can ever get the name username. go to more sites =)

to 323. that's just a dummy 'username' there's nothing non generic in the url, so unless you have a cookie or pass mgr storing *your* info, you're seeing dummy input junk.



The idea is good but the program needs some work. A LOT of work.

- It needs integration with explorer to have any sort of user friendliness.
- It needs better control/info via the tray icon, at the moment it has none whatsoever.
-It needs to have a better access to files and folder. Example: If a dvd image is mounted on a virtual drive, silent copy can't access this image file while explorer and total commander have no problem at all.
- Most important: It needs to do its work. As of now, on my limited testing, it fails more often than not, copying just a small part of a big file and reporting it's done.

Back to the drawing board...

sounds good but if it uses us less resources isn't it going to copy the files slower? i would rather get them over and done with than wait for even longer but be able to do something.

Look at the game of the day at top right. Aqua pearls.
Does anyone besides me think the cover art looks just a tad obscene?

#19-I went to your link for supercopier and noticed the user name was filled in. I don't know if you are aware of this. I guessed it to be your user name. I didn't sign in but someone else could. I know I wouldn't want anyone to sign in on my account.I just thought you should know.Have a nice day!

Why do I get the feeling that the majority of these comments are posted by either the software creators or someone who wants them to have loads of downloads??!!
Even though it is free it is all good publicity if they get such good comments but those comments seem a bit stale.
Anyway, this does exactly what it claims to do and does an OK job of it.
My review, if you like, is that it really is a good utility and shouldn't be bypassed if you want to add to the streamlining of your windows machine.
I for one am always looking to tweak and improve things. Also I have such an mp3 and image collection that this is great.
Recommended!

This comment is not for today's GOTD. I am looking for a good WYSIWYG HTML editor. Tried some programs like Nvu etc. but didn't like them. Thanks in advance.

This program is not working some reason. Even after I click start, it's just showing the message something like copying; it is actually not copying at all.

It just does what Supercopier (freeware, GPL licence) does already... and Supercopier does a lot more, too. :)

Thank you GOTD! My computer is about 4 years old and I love it. Still runs like a top. OS is 2000 Pro, 1400 mghz, 512 ram. So, while good, it's nothing compared to the new models coming out. I'm always copying files to my externals. I really push this thing to its limits. Copying to an external can be slow just by itself. Add other programs going and I can hear my baby crying for mercy.

I downloaded this program and gave it a spin. Wow! Now I don't have to sit here and watch the little paper go across the screen. This is a keeper.

I just noticed the name of the poster of comment #15. Are we related? LMAO!

interesting, needed to copy 161 6meg .bmp's & .png's to a backup drive, so this looked like a good thing to try. i was running a scanner, corel photo edit, excel and firefox at the time on my 3ghz p4e 1gb xp pro system.

this program's interface only allows you to select an entire folder to copy, not selected files within it, it then copies everything in that folder to the destination. which is not exactly what i wanted.......it put all 161 in the root of the destination folder. so i created the destination sub-folder as the destination & re-tried. no copy. exited, went back in & tried again, it then worked.

would be more useful if it allowed file selection & a sub-folder option rather than all or nothing. can't beat the price tho. however i think i'll stick with the OS way of copying for the moment.

The reason behind of 90% of all slow copies is a fragmented drive. Do a defrag sometimes and enjoy the speed.

#8 stillkicking, maybe if you've got a few things going, it's no problem for you; fine. For those of us who truly multi-task, this might be something to help us along.

I could've used this just last night. Was watching a streaming video from Google, Firefox (and an insane amt of tabs open), Photomatix, FolderShare, GTalk, Picasa and a couple Explorer windows open. Was copying some fairly small files (only ~800mb range) from one drive to another and the video hit killed me. The video started stuttering. If I killed the transfer, the video immediately ran perfectly.

Before you beat me down for having a crappy computer, lemme tell ya that an Intel Dual2Core 2.13ghz w/ 2gb o' RAM and a 512mb video card isn't your run of the mill dog of a computer.

For those of us that really push our machines, this might be of use. If you don't use enough processing power to slow your machine down, don't assume that everyone else uses their computer like you.

I, for one, am thankful to GotD and Silent Copy's authors for the chance to try this out. If you don't have any constructive criticism, then why bother saying anything at all?

Like what it says it will do... np with d/l or install, but will have to wait til tomorrow to test this one out.

So far tho, looks like another good one GAOTD, ty

Pitty, the userinterface is pretty grap. Better was dat at the moment you start an copy action in MS it shows wou an option or it does a silint copy automatically.
I ahave already uninstalled it

To #8: Hey, your computer is pretty new I think (or pretty expensive), there is a lot of people which don't have such a turbo machine yet...

Definitely useful for me...My ram is kinda low.. So, whenever i copy a large file, i can't do anything else except stare at the monitor like a sitting duck..Hope this will be useful.. Thnx GAOTD...

I badly need this for copying from CDs and DVDs.

Bad program. I tried 3 times to copy 2 maps, and the program copies nothing at all. So in a scale from 0-10 I give the program 1 point.
