Now, just to throw the spanner into what otherwise would be a very dull situation :-) , I just copied a 7.1GB file to the external Seagate's ntfs formatted partition using the stock standard cp command and this took something like ~4 minutes as against what mc took to copy a smaller file last night of ~15 minutes (working from memory here I fully admit).
Were you perchance using MC's ftp connection to make its copy, but a Samba or NFS connection for the cp? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
