Aage,
After 30 or more hours it was at about 7 gigabytes restored (out of
15). Since I had mistakenly connected to the db while the restore was
happening and I wasn't sure if I might have corrupted it, I decided to
stop it and restart (as you suggested) with the verbose option. I
also defragmented the disk first in case that was a factor.

Thanks for you input.
