Pardon me while I think (compute) out loud for a moment.
There's about 86,400 seconds in a day. A 1Mbit/sec link
(approximately a T1) can average 100Kbytes/sec (protocol,
acks, etc...) That's about 8.6Gbytes/day.
A WU takes about 340K to download. So the above link
could handle about 25,000 WUs per day. 1.5 million WUs
would take about 2 months.
A typical 10Mbit network could cut that down to a week.
A fast 100Mbit network could cut that down to 14 hours.
Like I said, the first to get their WUs will likely be
coming back for "seconds" before everyone has been fed.
Anyone remember how fast the S@h link to the outside
world is? (I'm not talking about the cut fiber, but the
ultimate link to the internet).
Of course, 20 WUs a piece would scale those numbers up
accordingly.
