If it's peer to peer over your home network then connecting to an ethernet hub will speed things up - assuming your router has a decent throughput speed. If that's too much hassle, you might be better off moving stuff to a Firewire or USB disk (given you do audio you might have some of that kit kicking about). I take it most of these apps are just stored in a folder that you can just moved across, i.e. they are pre-compiled binaries that you can run on any version of Mac OS X. When I hear pre-2009, I just get a bit nervous perhaps that you have stuff that might require some re-compiling or some additional things like X-Libraries installed in order to actually work properly. I am sure you'll have more questions after reading all of my ranting ;-).

Yeah I was going to especially as i'll be upgrading a couple of anyway... but I have a load of audio plugins which require some weird shell software key thing thing to install, it was s such a ballache last time I had hoped that transferring them across would avoid that pain.
Oh and (please forgive my ignorance as i'm new to Macs newer than 2009) but I could connect the old iMac direct to the router by ethernet but have no way of connecting the new MBP. Will that help speed things up at all? It's telling me 2 hours now.
