Supercopier (v2.2beta) works best if you main goal is to limit copy speed and automatic queue up depending on source and dest.
It can be set to NOT replace the default ctrl+c ctrl+v action and still be active on right-drag’n’drop.
It is also the least annoying when trying to use it.
Among the file transfer software that I’ve used, only GS RichCopy 360 works well. I have used other software including the names mentioned above I have experienced crashing in the middle of the operation which is very discomforting.
