In Thailand on a feature a few years back someone discovered the fastest net speed was at one of the shopping centers in a donut shop. It was literally the first point of the fat pipe into the entire complex.
They paid the store for a Dit assistant to stay overnight uploading.
All the high speed systems I've seen like signiant etc seem to get their extra speed by using a torrent like modified udp protocol which has a lot less handshaking and error checking than tcp. So this makes me wonder if the easiest way would be to use torrentsync from the BitTorrent people. Basically you set it up on two computers and one clones the other over the net using torrent protocols. I plan on testing this soon with a client but as yet I have no usage info for you but at the very least you save the time of a hop to an intermediate storage pool, which seems like a huge timesaver.
If the word torrent worries you why not setup a crush FTP server on the computer you want the media to end up on? You will save the intermediate pooling that way too.

For delivery, we use a corporate account on BOX (not Dropbox) in addition to Hightail.For reliable large file transfer over long distance, you need to find someone who can rent you space on an Aspera server or Signiant Media Shuttle. (I never would have recommended Signiant in the past, but we've worked with several facilities using media shuttle and it's pretty solid.) There are some other services for this purpose, like Airship, but I haven't used them enough to vouch for them.FTP will kill you over long distance, and the uploading entity needs a fast pipe no matter what you're sending.gh-------------------------------------Greg HusonChiefSecret Headquarters, Inc323-677-2092Greg (at) SecretHQ.com-------- Original Message --------

I have a client shooting in Nigeria and they need to get the media to me asap (no shipping drives). I don't have an FTP site. I think Hightail and dropbox are not practical for so many huge files. Not sure how much space but shooting HD for a day and you can imagine. Does anyone here have any suggestions?
thanks
