A friend and I are trying to transfer a large FCP file (5 gig) between us using AFP
filesharing. We've managed to connect OK, but obviously it's going to take awhile
to transfer a file of that size. The problem is that the transfer rates seems to drop
sharply after a short while and that makes an already long transfer even longer.
My friend believes it's because Comcast is throttling down large transfers using
Sandvine to thwart bit torrent downloads. If this is true, it's completely unfair that
it affects anyone sending large files of their own personal data. Is there anyway
to create a secure or encrypted connection to get around this??
TIA,
Prof
