I was at work, so I have a relatively fast connection, and a relatively
fast dual proc machine. I also have access to mrtg graphs of our network
usage, and I was not bound by that at all. I'm timing the pull at the
house, a verizon dsl connection, now. That is pulling betweek 40k and
95k.  I'm fairly sure my connection can do more.
