It will take ~70 hours longer to do this via the Internet, than if I copied it to a drive here, travelled there, plugged the drive in, then travelled back.
Oh well.
Sometimes sneakernet is still the fastest way to move data.
I remember working for an org decades ago with little tiny WAN pipes when I first got there, people complained all the time, it never met expectations. I recall doing the math for them to give them some kind of mental picture.
Our most remote building was about 5 mi / 8 km from town. If you had to move more than about a CD's worth of data it was faster to walk it over.

@neil you may keep your geek card. The sin is *under*estimating the bandwith of tapes in a stationwagon. Overestimating it is allowed.
