Peak Local file access bandwidth is typically 50 to 100 MBPs
x number of disks; over the localnet it is about 80MBps. On
my internet connection I barely get 1MBps download (& 0.2MBps
upload) speeds. Not to mention server side slowdowns, loss of
control over one's files, sites you download from don't
always stick around (or change) etc. etc. So I mostly use
local filesystems (as in on the same box or on a local
network) & that is where my interest lies.
