Sometimes it is convienent to host files on antiflux. If you end up wanting to transfer something big try to limit heavy bandwidth usage to off-peak times (where peak is currently defined as 6am-6pm PST). If you want to do a transfer during that time try throttling your transfers. For example, use rsync --bwlimit=XXX where XXX is the bandwidth limit in Kilo Bytes per second (KB/s). The --progress flag to rsync is useful to observe the progress of your transfer(s).
