hanging in emplode while retrieving datebase

It has never done this before but now it hangs when it tries to retrieve the database using emplode an ethernet. I've tried deleting the database and rebuilding it. Also when i use usb it'll go extremely slow and i mean like 16kb every minute slow.Anybody can help me out please?

Greetings!

At a guess, it sounds like there might be something sick in the database or you need to fsck your drives. Possibly both. I would recommend that you follow this to make certain your filesystems are in good shape. I know you have already drived to delete and rebuild the database like this.

Do you see any error messages on an open console window when you try these syncs? I am wondering if you are getting any filesystem or disk errors being printed. It might be the sign of something else wrong.
