    Almost as interested as what is covered is what is not yet covered. Does anyone know how long they expect this to take to fully implement?

    Then, after that - pr0n, spam, hax0rs, skr1p7 k1dd13z, and all the rest. Won't it be great? Getting all those worms delivered at breakneck speeds?
    If your pr0n involves worms, you might want to keep it to yourself, as most of us do NOT want to know about it :p

    Anyone know what the first file sent across it was? I'd imagine either pics of Xena or a Stargate: Atlantis episode.
    Hi,

    I transferred some of the first files over this network. It was Monte Carlo physics data produced for the CMS project. It took us about 20 minutes to go from 0 to 6.5 Gbps (we have a 10Gbps link to I2).

    P2P is not a big application on I2. Simply put, clients like Bittorrent don't scale well for individual transfers and there aren't enough transfers to really aggregate to an impressive number.

    I expect at least 100 Mbps per file using our transfer tools, then transfer many files at once.
