[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1941254, member: 396914"] Cupertino minutes are not the same as minutes anywhere else? Apple's estimates for anything are wildly off. Lots of reasons why, the chief of which is that the forecast is based on the performance to the current time, but without any detailed analysis of what is left. So, if there are 10 files, with 5 small ones and 5 huge ones, the system thinks that when it has done 5, it's halfway through, but if the 5 it's done are all small, and what's left are all large, that estimate will be wildly short. Frankly, I only use the timing estimates to show that it's actually still working. [/QUOTE]
