100mbps = 100 megabits per second.
__________________
100 megabits = 1024 megabytes. So 1 megabyte a second. 4000 seconds = 66 minutes. As you copy the machine will lag due to being online and things going in the background an many other factors. So 120mins is not that off. My System: Hybr!d

Has the old PC got a 10 or a 100 mbps card?
Also things like firewalls can slow it down along with anti-virus scanners. Turn them off while doing this. |

100Mbps = 12.5MBps
4GB/12.5MB = 320Sec! 5:30Mins! |

So it does, was in a hurry and copied that off another website after doing a Google.
Anyway... What network card is in the old PC? Have you tried my other suggestions. |

Also Windows's time guides are normally way off, have you actually timed it?
How long did it take? |

There are 8 bits in a byte.
8bps = 1Bps 8kbps = 1KBps 8mbps = 1MBps 8gbps = 1GBps Ant... |
