About 1CD's worth (650MB)

AFAIK, they have much more bandwidth on the other side of the pond.  I
know
our US office has 8/6Mbps ADSL compared to our 1024/256kbps ADSL.

They can, but at 60k/s that's about 11000 seconds, or 180 minutes, or
just
over 3 hours to get your one hour tape.  That's based on a 512kbps
connection which you may get, if they have a decent link.

Hmmm, the same 650MB would take 2 times as long (6 hours) if you're on
ADSL,
or 4 times as long (12 hours) if you're on cable.
