"48434 days and 10 hours *remaining*", at approx. 33% done, to copy a
whopping 430MB over the network!!!
Holy molasses, Batman.
Let's see...
Be generous, and discount the 10 hours.
(48434 / 2) * 3 = 72651 *days* in total, to copy 430MB.
Ignoring leap years...
72651 / 365 = 199 *YEARS* approx.
Let's look at transfer rate...
430 / 199 = 2 MB/year transfer rate approx.
MB/s value = 430 / (72651 * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60) = 1.876809755e-10 MB/s
.0000000001876809755 megabytes = 0.000196797767 bytes
