Today, I made remotely a copy of my work at workplace and used scp to
transfer it to hom e computer. The speed is 40 kB/s ! Exactly 40 kB/s.
And my workplace has a very fast internet connection.

To check if something is perhaps wrong with the internet connection, I
went to download an iso file of ubuntu. At the same time when my scp
was 40 kB/s I got 600 kB/s from http download!

This is insane. They are terrorists! And should be killed as such.
