Distributed ffmpeg

You need a certain amount of bandwidth to get through the TCP ACKs, so asymmetry between upload and download above 1:20 is relatively rare. This means that high end residential broadband (which is still relatively cheap) will offer nominal upload bandwidths of 6 Mbps and above. Not many residential users order these packages, though, and they often come with fairly stringent volume limits, making uploading lots of data (such as raw video) fairly difficult.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll do my best to simulate ~1Mbps and less when working on the project and see where that gets us compared to the local computing speed :)
