This is an excellent point. It's not the size of any of the files, it's the number of files - thousands of news, messages, player picture and player history files after a few years in any league. Copying those to any external device takes a tremendous amount of time. That's why Rich is right in recommending zipping the league folder and copying that to the external device. It still takes a good amount of time to zip, but no where near as much as just copying them over. When you're done, you only have one (large) file to transfer.
