For those people who think their computer and network is too fast, here is a little commandline program to slowly copy a file. You typically use it to prevent hogging the network performance when copying large and/or many files.
By default it works by inserting short delays (a few milliseconds) after reading/writing a chunk of the file. Download it here.
SlowCopy [-i 0] [-b 16384] [-p 5] [-e 0] [-o[n]] source-file target-file
-i seconds
Before doing anything, sleep this many seconds. Defaults to 0 (zero).
-b bytes
Read/Write files this many bytes at a time. Defaults to 16384 bytes.
-p milliseconds
Pause this many milliseconds after each write. Defaults to 5 milliseconds.
-e seconds
Pause this many seconds after the file is copied. Defaults to 0 (zero).
-o
Will overwrite the target-file if it exists (otherwise aborts).
-on
Will overwrite the target-file if it exists only if source is newer.
source-file
The file to copy.
target-file
The new file to create. Directories are created as needed.
If SlowCopy is called using WatchDirectory you can use {Dynamic Naming} for the
target file http://www.watchdirectory.net/wdhelp/plugins/dynamicname_functions.html
