For Freenet, a 'few GB' is a very large file to insert.
Plz bear in mind, inserts to Freenet have about 100% redundancy meaning 
a two gigabyte file takes 4GB to upload.

Depending on how well your node is connected, you can expect a 2 
gigabyte file to take 1 or two days to upload.
Also, it is normal for the node to take 12hours+ to encrypt/encode a 
large file before your node can start actually uploading.

You can check your nodes connectivity on the nodes stats page
http://127.0.0.1:8888/stats/

You may want to consider splitting the file into smaller parts, either 
using 7zip, RAR or a 'plain' file splitter.
For your own convenience but also for easier downloading.

Speed, or rather: slowness of inserting may be influenced by how large 
your datastore is, how much memory and bandwidth you've assigned to 
Freenet and also, by how well your node is configured.
