UNITED STATES POSTAL INSPECTION SERVICE AWARENESS VIDEOS:
DELIVERING JUSTICE -- BY PERMISSION OF USPIS

If you have high-speed Internet access, you can download the very large ZIP files below and unpack them using the directories included in the ZIP. The server for this Website has a maximum outband bandwidth of ~90 Mbps, which implies a minimum time at maximum speed of about 2 minutes for the download. On a T1 (1.5 Mbps) inbound line, it should take about 2 hours per GB* to download one of these files.A T2 (6 Mbps) line should take around 30 minutes/GB. A T3 (44 Mbps) would download 1 GB in around 5 minutes. Note, however, that if you are linking in via a 56 Kbps dialup, it could take at 53 days. . . .

* GB = Gigabyte (1.073e9 bytes); Mbps = megabits (1.048e6 bits) per second.
Note that 1 B (byte) in telecommunications actually has more than the usual 8 bits because of start and stop bits; the rough approximation is about 10 bits per Byte.
