I have just installed LMD4 cinnamon and I have been trying to copy files to my NFTS partition from my external HD. I am copying a massive folder (100G+) and it starts of at 50Mb/s and then slows down tremendously. It says it would finish in 4 mins (neat the end) yet it takes like 30 mins or so. The whole OS becomes super sluggish and slow. Is there a way to copy files from an external HD to an NTFS partition without the inconvenience of nemo?
Is there a fix to make copying smooth? I understand that an older external drive wont be working smoothly with a newer laptop, but this (starting at 50Mb and going down to 10Mb) is worrying.
Thank you.

I have tried xef so far. Pretty neat and fast, but the exact same thing happened when it got half-way through copying the folder. It became super slow and I could hardly move the mouse cursor (let alone do things like browsing). I aborted the task and had to manually restart the OS. When I booted up and system went crazy:

I have been enjoying LM for years, but lately I keep getting these system freezes and it feels like its the file manager that makes it happen, but I cant pinpoint what exactly does it. Any ideas how to fix this issue?
