    Wouldn't be quicker to take the drive out of the xbox and copy the files via a decent USB to IDE interface? FTPing files on the Xbox takes ages, even 6GB will take about 30 minutes. So 60gb will take 5 hours, so the best part of a day and a bit...

    I found it quicker to copy the games from the originals to the hard drive.

    6.8084622222222222222222222222222 hours assuming a full 100mbit. Given the liklihood of small files more like 8-10.

    And the topic reads "Take a Guess: How Long Will It Take To File Transfer Protocol This?".

    Not as bad as having to dd a 250GB disk image to a drive. That was a full 3 days.

    10 hours, +- 30 mins for FTP.
