Watching Paint Dry

It might go faster if you copy to a USB hard drive then back again on the other computer, as USB 2.0 is faster than Ethernet.
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

xcopy in a minimized window would probably surprise you ... :-O

18 hours? I've painted the inside of a whole house and dried in less time.

Are you doing a PUSH, i.e. running on Old to move from Old to New or are you doing a PULL running on New to move from old to new. It does make a difference to the speed. Also I have found doing a Copy rather than Move can sometimes be better, then when finished just do a big format or delete on the source machine.

Not my ethernet - I use Gigabit on all the important sections! :laugh:

Yeah, but a delete op on that many files can take hours, too.

That is true, but as it is on the old machine, you could effectively leave it running in your loft if you wanted and it can take as long as it wants. easier option, removed hard drive, dismantle to recover strong magnets, then play frisbee with the platters, or use them as coasters, or for target practice. :-D

In my experience, it's faster if you do a copy followed by a delete (so effectively, a move). Really. /ravi

That's bad, even for WiFi. If you're using WiFi, are both computers near the router they are connected to? Are you sure one of them doesn't have a bad wireless card?
Ethernet, not WiFi. Actually, a transfer rate of almost 3mbs is not terrible on a 100Base-T lan. Well, not terrible considering slow harddrives and forgetting to turn off indexing on the target machine. :laugh: One of these days I'll climb up in the attic and put the Cat-6 cables in.
