It's estimating ~40 hours, but it's fluctuating quite a bit.

Are you using a external hard drive or internal?

I wanted to use internal, but I don't have enough space so I just went with external. That's almost defiantly the reason it's taking so long. I don't have the worlds fastest internet but ~300mbps shouldn't take 40 hours.

Yeah, external hard drive makes read/write significantly slower. I also had issues with USB-connected hard drives introducing write errors before.
