I suppose now I think of it, the CD is approx 700 MB, so multiply that  
by 8 and you get 5600 Mb. If the connection is 100 Mb/s, one copy will  
take roughly 56 seconds so two will take approx (I just know some  
broadband expert will come and give me some value I haven't factored  
in, like surely the ping to the server should be in there somewhere) 1  
min 52 sec.

Many thanks
