This is my debut on the forum so please excuse if I mess up!

This isn’t a new installation all I’m trying to achieve is to move BIAB (plus it’s library) from one SSD to larger SSD within my Mac system.

It’s taken BIAB Install manager 48 hours to download the following
Band-in-a-Box 2021 Full (Mac)
This is the main Band-in-a-Box application installer. 1.90 GB
Hi-Q Instruments for Sforzando (Mac) 736 MB
2021 Bonus 0-PAK (Mac) 188 MB
Artist Performances Full (Mac) 1.82 GB
MIDI SuperTracks Sets 10-17 (Mac) 303 MB
RealTracks Shots Holds Loops and Reamped (Mac) 6.73 GB
RealDrums Sets 1-29 (Mac) 2.99 GB


Earlier today I downloaded an East West library “Voices Of Opera” 40.36 GB without any issues in around 30 minutes. I've tested the speed of my internet which is 117.4 Mbps download - 75.4 Mbps upload, there are no restrictions from my internet provider on downloads. I have a state of the art iMac running the latest version of OS, with 128 GB of Ram, a shed load of available storage plus a fast internet connection directly hard wired to ethernet. Could someone please advise me on why it’s so slow? If I was to continue downloading the additional Real Track Sets the ETA would be a week! Is there anyway I could speed this process up?

Help would be immensely appreciated before I go bonkers.
