I feel like I can download files to my newest laptop faster than I can move them around locally on my older ones. But maybe I’m just getting old, and my reference points are dates. Or maybe I just don’t know what I’m talking about, that’s also likely.
Is it possible the hard drive is failing in the old one? I don’t know what the operating system would do if download speed surpassed write speed, but once it couldn’t hold it in ram any longer waiting to write I guess it would have to throttle it.

In either case, thanks for the explanation!
