Very slow transfer of files to USB stick

I have plugged in a USB stick into the back of the device.

Created the jobs in the USB “backups” and started the tranfer of the files.

However it is so slow, I have 4 files which are large (2 gb to 9gb) but it would have been much quicker to do this wirelessly via the browser interface.

I would have thought this would be much quicker than it is (now be running for 4 hours and still not done completly).

Any ideas why it is so slow ?

I have tranfered to same USB drive over wifi in less than an hour in the past the same sort of size.

Hello,

Take a look at this thread. Hope it helps
