They were ordered but they are not scheduled to arrive until next week. The customer want's to begin testing their software today.

But the question here is about why Oracle is so slow at serving up files, not whether I should order CDs. I have a dedicated T1 and in 5 years I've never seen a transfer rate from Oracle's domain exceed 50k/s. That's pathetic. I can get 20x that from other sites and that *is* Oracle's problem.
