No image dumps, still? This is quite worrying. To say the least.
It would be faster to drive to the datacenter with a stack of hard
drives (or at least 1x500gb drive) and have someone just copy the images
over to the drive directly, than it would be to try to tar them up and
have people retrieve them over http.
I don't know how long it would take to fetch a 300+ gigabyte file over
http, but I certainly wouldn't want to do it... not without some
distributed method of sharing the packets and bandwidth.
