If my math are right, with my current internet connection the upload of 1 GB would take about 215 minutes (speed test says I have 0.62mbps, telefonica, Spain)
Good point, but it can be applied more generally. Not just speed, but volume. I have high speed cable and I have a 'raw' and virtually unlimited storage with one of my service providers. I could just run 'rsync' every day ... But my 'last mile' high speed cable connection has a cap on it. Thanks to the bloat in recent years of people sending HTML mail with two parts, one of them bloody awful bloated HTML!, and embedded graphics as an alternative for text, what was once a reasonable cap is now near exhaustion. Overage is charged at a punitive rate! Using the 'Cloud' or even backing up to raw storage would be expensive. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
