I'd theorize a BUTTLOAD +1.

Symantec has a buttload of bandwidth too. Do a Live Update and watch how fast it streams in the virus defs. Amazing, maybe there are local caches that load up on frequently requested stuff like MS's regular service packs and Symantec's Virus defs??


buttload^buttload+2

Right, the defs aren't big, but they come in so FAST. I just loaded Norton 2001 on an older system and couldn't get over how fast the Live Update went (almost 8MB total) for the first LU and less each subsequent time.
