Also, when you've got really big files, it is not uncommon for Fedex or
UPS to be able to deliver a drive overnight (with LOTS of sneakers)
faster  than the file can be transferred (also usually overnight) over
typical, "commodity" data networks.

Yes, unless you have a really big pipe to the backbone, and your recipient has the same, "commodity" networks are still very slow.

It took several hours to upload the 2.5 minute HD clip of the festival to You Tube.
