accelerating downloads over Cisco VPN (need to download 80 GB over network drive)
|

About once every six months, I move data from my company's servers to a
local 500 GB drive. I need to download about 80 GB from this out-of-state
server. The best sustained download rate I am getting is about 425 kbps.
The aggregate rate over the past nine days of 250 kbps with restarts after
disconnects. At this rate, it will take 30+ days. My connection is
extreme fast - repeatedly, I am get 4000 - 5000 kbps
1) Are there any client applications that will improve the speed? I can't
alter the server or VPN in any way. Moreover, these files don't exist on an
FTP.
2) Do any of these download accelerators help the fundamental transfer
speed?
3) Would a download manager help assist for broken downloads? The
connections comes down about once ever two days.
Data:
Cisco VPN client
Cable modem for connectivity
thanks in advance

| That would be obviously more efficient. However, much of this information
is sensitive. While my intentions are good, that would be very paranoid
about my activities.
