I would look at two options you could try adding to your command line: -K --skip-size could ascertain whether you've hit a really bad patch that's holding everything up but can jump over it, or whether the rest of the disk is just as bad. -R --reverse will start an attempt from the end of the disk, and if you're extremely lucky, it might copy most of the remaining 960-odd GB of data. OTOH it might only confirm that the disk is closer to meeting its maker than it was when you started the rescue. Cheers, David.
