How long to extract a video?

Hello -

I'm hoping that someone can help me....
I've been reading through the groups,
and have successfully extracted a video -
and am currently going through TmpEnc to re-encode it.

For some reason, it took me ~3 hours to get a stream
off of the Tivo to an NFS mount point on a Sun box at my house.
>From other FAQs that I've read it should take 20min-1hr.
(I'm using a TivoNet from 9thTee.)

I've tried both ExtractStream v3 (I TivoMad'ed my Tivo),
and sendstream with similar results.

I have a fully switched 100 mb network,
and neither the Sun or the Tivo are reporting any issues.
(The Tivo has only seen 61 collisions out of 7M packets)
I don't think that this is an issue with the network itself.

Can anyone share their experince?
Is this delay unusual?

Thanks,
KnightShade
