    There is a possibility that your network has be compromised. Try scanning your system with Malwarebytes.

    How would that affect only external Excel files?

    I don't think it is affected by malware. Anyway, did scanning with Norton but nothing comes up. Still unable to track the source of the problem though it is definitely network issue.

    I was thinking along the lines that such scans might be triggered in real time, thus slowing the transfer.

    This from personal experience with both machine-to-machine transfers in general, and local loading of Excel files in particular.

    The latter is particularly vexing, as Excel seems to ignore my directives re. what to not scan; and, the degradation in responsiveness to Open commands, owing to the time required for such scans to be completed, varies greatly, for no apparent reason.

    For a given file, the scan time is sometimes negligible to the point of not even being noticed; other times, it is frustratingly long. I suspect that this might be dependent on the number and natures of other tasks then running, though I've not had the time to test for such.

    I am thinking of putting some network monitoring software to check on individual ip address to see the workload. From there, I hope that I will be able to find out any clue to why the sudden slowness.

    Concur. Absent knowledge of traffic volumes and processing loads, it's a guessing game.

    Most of the times, there will be 4 users while the other 4 users are mostly travelling so their usage is low. As they are busy with their current projects, I am unable to do any testing. So, guess I have to put a pause until they have time for me to do checking. Thanks for all your suggestions.

    What the hell do Temp folders (note the plural - there are many) have to do with network transmission speeds?

    Yes. It has nothing to do with temp folders. I have yet to do further testing as there are huge projects currently needed the attention. Once I have the opportunity to test, I will update my findings and hopefully resolve this issue.
