OT: Re: Max. throughput on a 2Mbit leased line?

["vargster" <mailinglists@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah! But that's exactly what I need to do - shift a large slab of data
from one site to another, once a week, approx. 15GB. The rest of the
week the line will be idle, so I don't want to overspec it, but on
the other hand I do want the data to turn up fairly quickly...
