Hi Guys, I have around 3 TB of data to download... Yes 3 TB and it's going to take an eternity on a DSL connection.
Does anybody know any service that would do that for me and ship it on an external storage?
Thanks.

Not sure if such a service exists, but perhaps download it on a server, compress it 1:100 or so (with a power compressor), download, then use a high end computer to decompress. Just my two cents.

I forgot to mention that the 3 TB is already the size of the compressed file using the tar -9 ( highest compression possible )
> (deflated 0%) so can't be compressed more.

What compression algorithm do you use?
lzma (xz utils) provides the highest compression levels for me.
On second thought, you won't benefit much between gzipped, bziped, and lzma tarballs at 3TB.
How quickly do you need the data? Does your cloud storage provide resume support?
