all my hosting content out of adsl, lol, yes i started with email at the date
of adsl widt 512K/128K bit uplink/downlink, it had even homepage served later
then its speeds gone raced to astoning speeds of 1Mbit/768Kbit, that was time.
now my home fiber optical is 20000Mbit, where was this cable when i had a need
for it ?

If your network connection is so fast, it would have been better to tar the
files and copy or even use rsync over ssh.

If you use dd on a whole disk, your image will be that size. a dd of /dev/sda1
that is 10gb will leave you with a 10gb image.
