Hi Bagginsbill,

how did you calculate that ??? That look like stone age ...

1 Mbps = 1 Megabit per second = 1.000.000 bit per second
with 8 bit = 1 byte, we have 125.000 byte per second or ~ 125 KB/s
so we have 480 * 125 KB/s = 60.000 KB/s = ~ 60 MB/s
This makes 3.600 MB/m or 216.000 MB/h = ~ 216 GB/h

Letting out that I have use 1000 instead of 1024 as correct divisor and also letting out some trafffic overhead for handshaking on the line, I think 1 Terabyte drivespace is filled in less than 5 hours .... though long enough but far away from 695 days ...

Think of a older "normal" DSL internet connection having 2000 kbit/s and think how quick you transfer a 2, 5 or 10 MB zipfile ... right, less than 1 minute ...
