Exporting Library is Taking Forever

infernoxv · Today, 09:31 AM

i have a 180GB library of ebooks (some of these blasted PDFs are 200-300 meg). as i'm running out of space on my laptop, i thought i'd transfer the physical location of my library to my desktop. ok, my 4yo macbook air starts the export to an external hard disk. now 24 hours later, we're only 64GB through. help. is it always this slow?

It might be faster just to copy your calibre library and your calibre settings folder to the external hard drive.
