I updated, and used the same command line,and I had already added that flag to both, as I too am unsure.
The speed is about 871.085 kBytes/s, and the amount is so small, it seems like it is using local bandwidth, as I would certainly think Google servers copy a lot faster than that between themselves.
About all I can do is run the command in a safe mode with limited services, but I believe it will show the same thing. This cannot be sever-side.
Thoughts?
