When you copy large files, or lots of files, with the Finder, you can cancel but not pause. However, if you use the Terminal you can pause in the middle of a large copy, move or anything. This works best using rsync so you can see the progress. Basically you use Control+Z to pause the Terminal command. Then you use fg to continue.
