The speeds are 1 gigabit connections. The Dark Knight Blu Ray was approx. 35GiB. At 1 gigabit connections speed it would take 280 seconds in a best case scenario.

That doesn't account for any network overhead and assumes the storage medium can write > 125MiB/s (Pretty much discounting all standard platter drives)

The 5-10 minute figure is reasonable.

Jeez. Back in my day, movies were ~700MB. That way we could put them on these things called CDs. Ever hear of CDs? Damn kids.
