"The team was able to transfer uncompressed data at 923 megabits per second for 58 seconds from Sunnyvale, California, to Amsterdam, Netherlands. That's about 3,500 times faster than a typical Internet broadband connection."

"Imagine ... being able to download two full-length, two-hour movies within a minute," Cottrell said. "That changes the whole idea of how media is distributed."

"Already, Cottrell said he and other scientists have conducted further experiments that break their own record. But those tests have not been certified by Internet2, a consortium of 200 universities researching the future of the Internet, and they must wait for further confirmation before an announcement, he said."

Warez is bad. It is a bad bad thing. Do not do warez, and the world will be a better place. Little children will once more be able to play on the streets, and old folks can sit in their armchairs without fear of being mugged or burgled, etc. Over 90% of the crimes comitted in the world are linked to Warez, and if you do it, you are contributing to that 90% of crime. How would you like it if the Warez scene's next victim was someone you loved. So do the right thing, and don't do warez; because it's wrong. Morally, and ethically wrong.
