Ubuntu – ny utility like the Windows program smartcopy

clipboardsoftware-recommendation

It should help me pause copying, so I dont have to wait for each copy to finish. Basic googling didnt help out. The windows equivalent is Teracopy, or Fastcopy.

I need the application to be GUI based, but wouldn't mind shell commands.

I wait for the copy to finish, in cases where I copy to the same destination, like a pen-drive, where throughput is in the order of 5 MB/s.

If you're doing copies from the command line, rsync will optimize the copies about as much as is possible and you can press Ctrl + Z to pause it, then type fg to resume.

Ubuntu – ny utility like `Proxifier` for Ubuntu

According to the description of the homepage of Proxifier, the software Privoxy looks like a good recommendation. Privoxy is a proxy application which filters a lot privacy related things (cookies, webbugs etc.). However the software allows you to configure HTTP, SOCKS and other types of software and is very flexible. I am sure that this is a good replacement.

After reading your comment I can go a bit more into detail: The central configuration file is /etc/privoxy/config. The directory /etc/privoxy has some other files, too. The config file is very well documented.

Lets assume you want to send all traffic to example.com though proxy-a and all traffic to askubuntu.com through proxy-b. SSL/TLS traffic (HTTPS) should not use any proxy. So you add the following lines:

forward .example.com proxy-a
forward .askubuntu.com proxy-b
forward :443 .

The keyword forward is followed by a site or a pattern. It can be an IP address, hostname or a regular expression. All traffic which matches will be send to the last entry in the line. This the proxy address. When you use a . (a dot) a the end of a line, it means that the pattern before will not use any proxy. You will find more information at the handbook.
