I'm pretty sure they don't have that large a
bandwidth, I'd
think more in the line of a 30Megabit (note, not Byte)
connection would be more realistic. Over a 24 hour
period
a 30 megabit connection would allow just over 925
thousand
WU download per day at 100% efficiency.

(Bandwidth X Seconds X hours)
30,000,000 X 3600 x 24 = 2,592,000,000,000 bits per
day
/ 8 = 324,000,000,000
Bytes per day
/ 350,000
925,714 WUs Per day

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.
