This camp says, take two open ssh boxes, put them on the same 100 M/bit
lan, and transfer files with either the command line sftp client or
filezilla, and you will have transfer speed of 12 MB/s. Over Internet,
which has many more variables, I get approx 600 KB/s (my max transfer
over http protocol is about 800 KB/s, you can make of that difference
what you will)
