The very first full that you run on a new host is usually the worst.  Once most 
of the files are checksummed it's fine.  I always run that first full on a 
wired 
connection, and then switch to wireless after that.  If you still can't 
complete it in that time, consider using includes/excludes to back up parts of 
things once until it has run a full on all the files.

"Before we got into this war there were countless 'military experts'
and intelligence analysts that told us this was a good idea, that we
had to do it.  That presented their information, and were so terribly
wrong.  These people are still affecting public policy.  They are still
considered experts.  I'm sorry, shouldn't there be a rule or law that
says if you fuck things up so badly, you can no longer be considered
an expert?"
