Time Capsule Data Transfer Molasses Slow!
Data Transfer from Time Capsule to New 27" 2015 iMac says for about 1TB it's 18 hours and 50 minutes and it's really counting down correctly. I have the Time Capsule connected via wired ethernet.
I've tried from old 2009 or so Mac to new 2015 Mac and of course it's even slower.
What's funny is the Wireless might be the fastest although I paused it just to go back to what I knew would still work (hard wired direct from backup).
I'm also performing a Time Machine backup on an external hard drive but that as well is taking nearly 15 hours.
