0.23 seconds.

you need a lot of money to even hear about it though, so maybe not that "public."

can have pretty strange effects on us plebs with our 5ms pings.

No way to download 26 terabytes of data with public internet in less then a second. I'm not talking about military internet i'm meaning public internet which i believe is around 30gb per second with fiber.

Again i'm meaning with public internet not some military stuff that can download 1 million petabytes in under a second.

not just internet speeds, i dont know "jack" about anything friend. my head is a vacuum
with my experience with my 100mb line and few people using the line as well. I had at that time 2x 1 terrabyte drives. i downloaded between 1 and 1.5 terabytes, took me roughly about month and half to 2 months with some internet issues as well. so if you using best line for 26 terabytes, maybe couple hours to maybe a week or two

The download will be throttled by your SSD even if it had the capacity.

But sorry i can't answer this.

if you had a 30gigabit per second conection, you would require 2hr 40 mins for dl a 26tb file.

i think the fastest i can get residential is 10gbps but paying incredibly for it, and they probably have to pull fiber to my house.

i think the fastest connection achieved was 22.9 petabits/sec, so it would transfer incredibly fast, but ... that assumes the computer on the other end could receive it - prob limited by write speed =z
