| 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.

| 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.
