I was hoping to back up the machine by transferring the files to my local machine and doing the backup here. However when I try to copy any (non-tiny) files, using scp for example, it floods the network connection and messes up the audio stream. Is there any way I can transfer files from it at a much slower rate, something like 1/8 normal?
