High speed data transfer with SNAP

That's SNAil-based data transfer Protocol, of course -- it's done using a snail-pulled chariot with DVDs for wheels. Once you fill up the pipe with one snail per second, you get a sustained transfer rate of 37Mbps. Until you run out of lettuce, of course. And the latency is, um, considerable.
