Either your network is messed up or your IP settings are or (and this one happend to me) you are using a crap FTP program. I use FlashFXP (ftp), that gets me a great transfer rate and only takes 30 mins to move a game from my Xbox to my PC. Try it, if it doesn't make a difference, you need to look at how your network is setup. When you do finally get the game on your PC, you will need to patch the default.xbe file, using something like Quix and... ah, there are guides and old posts to look at!
s8nsch1ld is right. It only takes me 20 min, depending on the size of the game. Its should not take you more than 30 min. check your setting on your xbox like s8nsch1ld said.
what about using somthing like dvd shrink or some other program to burn cds i mean do absalutly have to use the ftp to the xbox ? what about a raw burn in roxio?
The CD and DVD drives on your computer will not read *.xbe files, which are the files found in your xbox games, that is why you have to FTP to get the files from the Xbox' DVD drive.
i also had this problem with Flash FXP. i tried FileZilla, unchecked the use multiple connections option, and everything was all better.
