The most important aspect about the report is the “estimated speed of transfer (23 MB/s)” at which the documents were copied. It’s inconceivable DNC documents could have been copied at such speed from a remote location.
Inconceivable? Why? Assuming they actually mean megaBYTES per second and not BITS, that's about 184 Mbps (bits). I have a 100 Mbps line, and 1 Gbps lines are not unheard of these days. If the whole report relies on that piece of information, it seems rather flimsy. Can they prove 184 Mbps is impossible between US and Romania?
Have you ever hit 23 other than on a lan for data dl? Hell, have you ever even hit 10 for a sustained time?
Well, no, I haven't - my line is rated slower than that. But if you have gigabit speeds, it's well within the realm of possibility. And we're likely not talking residential internet here. Anyway, my point is that, with that piece of data being the "most important aspect", this is far from a conclusive analysis.
The point isn't your dl speed, as pointed out above upload speeds are the choke point. Most don't care about up speed and they are even more notorious than down speeds for being grossly exaggerated by service providers.

I'm not a computer guy so I don't understand a lot of this.
But if this computer guy figured it out, wouldn't the feds have figured it out a long time ago?
And if they had, then why haven't they released the information?
Why keep with the Russian narrative?

I love how when there's anonymous sources disclosing info on Trump or associates, it's immediately dismissed; but a 'mysterious' IT says it wasn't a hack but a copy, because you can copy emails on external data drives, somehow, mentalists declare a nail in the coffin...
this goes both ways. to the believers, no evidence is needed, to the delusional, there's never enough evidence....

This is in the context the servers were never handed over to the FBI.
A third party declared the Russia hacking, not the FBI.
The CIA can hack a network and make it look like other persons/countries.

Yes, understood. Google fiber, for example, is 1 gigabit upload.
Again, since the "bombshell" seems to rely on the copy time of the file, I'd want to see more data before accepting a claim like this. But that's just me.

Why would the transfer out be upload. It should be download from the source host to the host computer getting the data.

You could only sustain 23 MB/s from a server.
Hacking into someone's computer, the connection would be throttled by upload speed. Usually about 10 MB/s is the max advertised upload speed.
Unless you are both connected by fiber locally.

One side uploads while the other downloads.
This might not be the thread for you.
