Interesting idea. I'll keep in in mind. |

I've already tested that chopping the file with split and reassembling |
16 |
it locally on another machine works. One advantage to chopping it up |
17 |
is that because I have two ISPs in my house I can send half over each |
18 |
ISP and speed things up considerably. The transfer to the remote |
19 |
machine is now in progress and I've transferred about 20 of the 402 |
20 |
files I need to send so things are progressing splendidly at this |
21 |
time. |

I loaded unison on one of my local machines and will play with that. |

Maybe I'll add some form of bittorrent into the mix also. |
