A grid I help out with is often capable of 600kilobyte/per/second downloads (or faster), and I personally have several files stored on there in excess of 500mb. Close enough to your 700mb movie example.=20 I use this storage as a CDN of sorts, as a friend wrote an HTTP interface to the Tahoe-lafs grid.=20 Should you wish to see it in action, the code and download links are over here --> http://cryto.net/projects/tahoe.html ----- End forwarded message ----- --=20 Eugen* Leitl leitl http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE --===============5436083238451836200==--
