I know there are many slow backup / slow internet threads about Time Capsule, but I haven't been able to find one with quite the same problem I'm experiencing.
I'm getting good >1 MB/s speeds when I backup with Time Machine to Time Capsule over wireless and about ~12 MB/s when using ethernet. Similarly, the network speed when using the internet is equally acceptable.
However, when I'm trying to transfer files manually to Time Capsule as a hard drive, I get barely 100 kb/s, and an estimated 100 hours or so to transfer a 10GB file. This is true for both wireless and ethernet, and it doesn't seem to make a difference which I use.
This doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes the transfer speeds are just fine. Recently I turned Time Machine back on after not using it for a long time. When Time Machine is turned on (not when it's actually backing up just since I've turned it back on, so there's no other network activity going on) the transfer speeds drop to kb/s levels. I'm using a late 2007 MacBook. Any ideas why this might be?
Thanks.
