I beleive at the moment... the fastest people have sent data over the "internet" is at ~ 6.6Gbps...

Nice site though... http://internet2.edu

Search google for some "internet speed records"... there are some very interesting articles out there...

I want to know what kind of hard drives and bus they are using to transfer all that data...
/me off to do some more reading up on the internet2 project...

I've got them all beat!
