1 KB per second seems a bit slow. But you have to remember that in the case
of a file transfer, the file has to be written to a store. That slows things
down a bit.

And I have no idea where your file ended up. What kind of file is it, btw?
One thing for sure, you have about 500 KB wasted on one of your store (hope
that's on an external card...)
