I downloaded the live Peppermint 9 and ran it on this machine, then copied the first file I mentioned above from my hard drive to the same USB drive I have been using during all this. Exactly the same thing happened; that is, the progress bar picked a spot (in this case, 100%) and stayed there for the whole time it took to copy the 22g meg file - two minutes. Same speed as with Linux Lite, and although I was not running Firefox at the time, I did have the Task Manager running and it showed CPU usage going up to 100% in spikes. So it's obviously not a behavior that is specific to Linux Lite, but more likely Ubuntu. I will have to try something really different and see what happens then.
I tried it with Manjaro XFCE Live using Thunar with the same result. I guess it's a Linux thing. :-( While the Mac doesn't really have issues with drivers (they are very good at plug-and-play), Windows certainly does sometimes. Can you get different drivers for things like this with Linux?
