~400,000 GB * 8 bits/Byte = 3,200,000 Gb at 1Gbps that's 3,200,000 seconds or about 888 hours or about 37 days. If that's 400TB * 1024, instead of 1000, then it's a bit longer, pushing 38 days.

Sheesh, the TCP and whatever else overhead is probably more than the 24 byte difference of 1024 vs 1000..

Did you ever try and calculate the difference?

1TiB = 1024GiB = 10241024MiB = 102410241024KiB = 1024102410241024 bytes...

1024^4 is 1099511627776 bytes...

So it's 1099 GB vs 1000 GB which is a solid 10% difference. Your TCP overhead is not anywhere close to 10% unless you are sending with an MTU of 240...
