First of all, thanks for all your work, Unstoppable Copier is one of the best utilities out there and has been getting steadily better every year. I would be curious to know if there's a way you could code it to rename corrupt or partially transferred files automatically. This would be useful in separating bad files from good. Also, I wonder if there's anyway to improve the performance of the Automatically Skip Damaged Files feature. The program often hangs on corrupt files and does respond to Pause, Skip, or Cancel unless the offending hard drive is disconnected. Perhaps this is a limitation of Windows' file system handling?

Unfortunatley the error you describe is a windows related issue. Basically it has to wait for windows to return with a "Disk is stuffed" message before it knows how to proceed. Im goign to do some major changes in an upcoming version i have planned (version 5!) perhaps ill add in some "time out" functionality to the settings so if no response is given in say 1 minute it tries something else.

The auto rename function is a good one too.. ill defiantely try and add that to the next update!

Cheers!

if you could leave the target file by adding a suffix (BAD or ommited) to know which file is missing in that folder
