A 411 MB file in 8 seconds according to the press release.
I just transferred a 238 Mbyte file in roughly 40 between California and Texas - probably T-1 or better.
Someone pointed out to me that if you had quick 4-1 compression, which is doable, you are pretty close.

So where does the hour come from in that press release for the normal case? What network are they using that it's so slow?
