Sup /gentoo/.

I'm about to move back home to Mississippi from Vegas and have been spoiled by the high speed Internet that I have here. The fastest that I could possibly get in my new home will be about 10Mb.

Is there anything I could do to compress the data or otherwise improve my connection? I'm thinking about routing most of my shit through a Vpn and using something that could compress it in some way (imagemagick script that downsizes images to a much smaller size)? I'm also thinking about buying a metric shit ton of jump drives to ferry more static content in from town where I can get a better connection (.iso files, movies, etc...). Finally, I'm thinking about writing some scripts the download and pre-cache most of my podcasts and other shit while I'm out, using my bandwidth to the fullest 24/7.

Any other suggestions?

*VPS, not vpn

I fucking despise autocoerect.

How is this related to computer science, software, or programming?

Go back to /tech/ where you belong.

OP, I don't want to be a buzz kill or anything, but I think you may have something of an addiction.

>Any other suggestions?
rsync, maybe? It's super-robust and iirc it compresses the stream for you.
Might be useful for transferring files from your VPS, since
>imagemagick script that downsizes images to a much smaller size
(obviously) has the problem that it would only work for image files.

Honestly, I just think it'd be a fun project. I don't necessarily *need* high speed internet, just want to toy with acceleration.

>rsync

I'll check it out.
