Ultracopier is file copying application software for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is based on and supersedes SuperCopier.[6] SuperCopier and Ultracopier differ mainly in terms of appearance. SuperCopier essentially serves as a skin for Ultracopier, with slightly higher CPU usage. SuperCopier typically refers to SuperCopier 3 and earlier versions, while Ultracopier refers to SuperCopier 4 and later versions, now known as Ultracopier 1.4.[7][8]
Features include:[1]
- Pause/resume transfers
- Dynamic speed limitation
- On-error resume
- Error/collision management
- Data security[7]
- Intelligent reorganization of transfer to optimize performance[7]
- Plugins
Versions
The application is distributed in standard and ultimate variants:
- The underlying source code is identical across editions and is published under the same copyleft license.
- The ultimate variant bundles alternative optional interface and engine plugins.
- Both distributions operate without DRM (as explicit restrictions are prohibited by the GPLv3 license) and can be redistributed freely by users.[9]
Reception
Ultracopier has been covered and reviewed by several independent technical publications. In an extensive performance evaluation by gHacks, the software was noted for its customizable performance tweaks, granular copy-engine settings (such as strict retention of file rights and timestamps), and plugin extensibility, though real-world transfer throughput gains depended heavily on specific hardware and drive arrays.[10]
Technology portal Gizmodo highlighted the application's unique advantage over default desktop environment dialogs when manipulating mass media directories or network storage pools, specifically praising its localized error-handling routines, which allow unassisted processing pipelines to bypass corrupted blocks or prompt user intervention instead of triggering a complete operation crash.[11] Platform profiles on systems repositories like Slashdot similarly classify the utility as a highly configurable power-user alternative for managing dense cluster transfers or unassisted backup workflows.[12]
