ExtremeCopy Free comes in specific downloads for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating systems.

The standard version is free for personal and home use, though a licensed Pro version offers some extra features for commercial users. How much faster? Up to eight times faster, according to Easersoft, makers of ExtremeCopy Free, which optimizes copying speed based on your machine's resources.

Copying speed in Windows is mostly determined by your system's resources, but that's the point: by maximizing the copying according to your system's capabilities, it's possible to copy even very large files faster than Windows can. Since Windows is meant to be all things to most people, it leaves room for improvement on many fronts, such as copying files.
