Hello Cymro

It's unlikely that 7.5Gb transferred in 10 seconds.  More likely is that the names of the files transferred in 10 seconds with the content of the files dribbling down over the next few hours or days.

The only thing I'd say about commercial hosting is that you need to choose carefully.  Not only do you want a company that's going to be around for a while but you need to check exactly what you're allowed to store.  A lot of hosting companies insist you host websites and not a loose collection of individual files.  Until fairly recently I had backups of various household files stored with one such hosting company - they decided they weren't a website (which they weren't) and deleted them.  So the lesson - read the T&Cs *very* carefully.

Cheers
