so have you calculated (or even thought about) how long it takes to retransmit
those huge files to numerous downlinks at only 512k-768k transmit speeds?
while i have 3M receive, my transmit is only ~512k... i have at least 5 nodes
pulling all files areas so on days that i get eg: 100M, my system has to
transmit 500M but at 512k speed that's 1/4th of your transmit speed... i won't
even mention all the other traffic that my pipe has to carry as well...
upgrade? not likely... we're lucky to have this out here 15mi (24km) from
town...
