Ultracopier is a file copying application for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is based on and supercedes SuperCopier. 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.

Features include:

  • Pause/resume transfers
  • Dynamic speed limitation
  • On-error resume
  • Error/collision management
  • Data security
  • Intelligent reorganization of transfer to optimize performance
  • Plugins

Normal vs. Ultimate version:

  • The source code is identical, and it falls under the same license.
  • The ultimate version includes alternate plugins.
  • Both versions are without DRM (as this is explicitly banned by the GPLv3 license) and can be redistributed freely.
