I started copying a 5GB+ file onto a USB stick before I headed out to the hospital today. It said it was going to take 3 hours. When I got home it was about 20% done and estimated a further 200+ hours. 
I just restarted the computer and set it off for another try overnight. 
Other than that, I'm incredibly tired. The dialysis really took it out of me today, both literally and metaphorically. 
I watched "The Big Bang Theory", "Elementary", "The Simpsons", "Inspector De Luca", "Justified" and "Marvel's Agents of SHIELD".

Ja, you'll get that with USB sticks. Strangely it doesn't seem to help if you format them. I think there is a serious design flaw in USB memory sticks in that if you deal with one that's filling up, it will take forever to load stuff onto it.
