hehehe...
I had a couple of interesting headaches today, but one of them was priceless. User in the Boston office was making noise and badmouthing my group because it was taking "forever" to copy a file from a server in SanFran.
Boston office has a 1.4Mb T-1 plus a 768K DSL failover backup. SanFran office has a 10Mb fractional T-3.
Turns out that the "file" in question was a macromedia director movie... about 320MB.
My response was "(obscenity redacted) Duh? Ever heard of FedEx?"
The Internet we have now is basically the same Internet we had five or six years ago. Yet now people have this expectation that they can create files of heretofore unheard-of size and pass them around like they are nifty pics of beach volleyball players.
Just shoot me.
I know which thread you've been on...
g'nite folks
Heh... I've been file-swapping files that size, so I know the sort of speeds you're talking about!
