A T-1, giving us 1.544Mbps in both directions.  After hours our official
business traffic drops down fairly low, just two dozen dialups, the
email/spam flow, etc.  Then I have my traffic and whatever the guys at the
sheriff's office and city police are doing via their wireless links that
run through here.  (Don't ask, don't tell time.)  :)

Assuming nothing goes wrong, nobody tries to do a direct download, etc.,
doing an rsync on a full release tree with two arches is going to take
almost as long as an overnight mail.  Hopefully if the ia64 port takes off
it can be synced to the mirrors direct from it's eventual development
site. The question is which is more likely to attract a divine
intervention by St. Murphy.
