Copy 2tb Backup (Sparbundle) from Time Capsule to ext SSD

[phelix71]

Mother board dead. Worst nightmare.
I have been doing regular backups on my (old) Time Capsule. There's a quite recent file there 1.9TB with extension .sparbundle.
Tried to restore the backup with Time Machine, but after a while it fails. I thought, maybe the hard drive of Time Capsule runs too slowly. So I thought of maybe transferring the big file to a faster SSD. Don't know if it's going to work. The problem is that I have tried to copy it with Finder. Expected transferring time: 10-14 days! Not realistic. I need something faster. Any ideas?

A wired ethernet connection will probably be faster than the wifi.

Yes it’s already connected through ethernet..

Then I don't think you can speed it up any further. Do understand that file transfer time predictions are hard to make. You might find it only takes half the time predicted.
