Hi Robert,
I'm not sure I agree with you..
(3 terabytes / 10 megabytes) seconds in days = 3.64 days
That is, on my university connection I could download the dump in just a few
days. The only cost is bandwidth.
While you might be correct, most connections are reported as megaBITS
per second. For example, AT&T's highest grade of residential DSL
service is 6 Mbps, which would result in 46 day download. Comcast
goes up to 16 Mbps, which is 17 days.
