| Slow Home LAN - Why is it going slow? 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.

| Slow Home LAN - Why is it going slow? 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.

| Slow Home LAN - Why is it going slow? 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.

| Slow Home LAN - Why is it going slow? Also Windows's time guides are normally way off, have you actually timed it? How long did it take?
