1.	Solve : moving 10 GB over the internet??
Answer» Is this possible? I have figured out how to move the files I need but they are 10GB. Are there any consequences to this? Do internet providers LIMIT how much information I can download? I have high speed .........how long do yo guys think this might take? Thanks for all your helpI have a 20 mbit/second connection, and it would take me about 1 hour 20 minutes to download 10 GB from a server well connected to my ISP's backbone. Most ordinary broadband connections are slower, e.g. a 2 Mbit connection would take about 13 hours. But you have to get it up on the server and most high speed connections are assymetrical. My upload speed is 768 Mbit /sec. At this rate it would take about 30 hours to upload. A fedex parcel with 3 DVD-Rs might be as fast. Your own ISP will be the people to ask about any data caps they impose. Ok, I really didn't understand what you said but I did look at my connection and it said 100 mbps?? I am not sure about the assemtrical thing you said .......or basically anything else but I will check with my provider to see about the quantity. The computer is in my other office.... sadly LOCKED. I can only access this computer with the Go to my PC program. What do you mean by "locked"?Quote from: Broni on JULY 02, 2008, 11:39:24 PM What do you mean by "locked"? I am guessing remote access? The way the sentance was phrased makes it sound that way to me.We can keep guessing sorry, Yes remote access. It all worked out though. Sent someone over there with a usb floppy drive. Thanks guys.

Yeah, that may be a USB Floppy drive but I wouldn't want to transfer 10GB via floppy disks. 10GB = 10240MB / 1.38MB = 7421 floppy disks... each floppy disk weighs, I'll guess, around 15 grams (might be more or less), 15 * 7421 = 111315 grams, or 111 kg. something tells me that a 4.0GB flash drive would both cost and weigh less then over 7 thousand floppy discs...7421 Floppy Disks....That will take a long time to copy to, load into truck, unload into home, and copy off. Actually it should be 14842 floppy disks, since we all know how reliable floppy disks can be

Is this possible?

I have figured out how to move the files I need but they are 10GB.

Are there any consequences to this? Do internet providers LIMIT how much information I can download?

I have high speed .........how long do yo guys think this might take?

Sorry, side note.

Yeah, that may be a USB Floppy drive but I wouldn't want to transfer 10GB via floppy disks.Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on July 04, 2008, 11:50:59 AM

10GB = 10240MB / 1.38MB = 7421 floppy disks...

each floppy disk weighs, I'll guess, around 15 grams (might be more or less), 15 * 7421 = 111315 grams, or 111 kg.

something tells me that a 4.0GB flash drive would both cost and weigh less then over 7 thousand floppy discs...7421 Floppy Disks....That will take a long time to copy to, load into truck, unload into home, and copy off.
