He uses fios and he reports a 2 GB transfer to europe can take a few hours, time he can't move his computer. He can use it for other things, of course, he just can't move it. He spends half his time out and about shooting video, the other half prepping it for broadcast.

A second computer is certainly the first step. I just want to make sure there isn't a significantly more optimized protocol than ftp and that his clients in europe could navigate. Copying via a windows share probably takes a third longer, and some of multi-channel file transfers need special clients. We're trying to optimize and keep it simple.
