I just copied a 695MB (ZIP) file, running MD5 against it, as quickly as I could, 6 times with no problem. I think you have some other problem. Whether it is VBOX (including your settings), the nic and driver (unlikely), or win 11, I don't know.

I wouldn't waste my time doing that. It may, or may not, work, depending on what the host machine supports. Running a windows guest is nothing, at all, like running an OS/2 guest.
