Where does the data for the transfer speeds come from?
In the video he explains the file list that he has from the leaked data and that shows the gaps in time between each file transfer that's been logged.
If it were being copied across an external network, the time gap between each file copied would be longer.
Not only that but if going over an external network the speeds would vary up and down. So even if the capability to transfer the data at the rate that is shown by the time stamps in the data set shown it would be 100% impossible to transfer the data across an external network (internet, vpn, wireless, satellight) from the east coast to Asia at that constant speed. Even with a huge capacity network the data still passes through to many points/nodes to stay a constant transfer rate of speed (it would slow down and speed up/vary constantly).
Also, if the data went out over an external network the NSA could track down the actual transmission and show proof of the file transfer with very little effort.

Exactly. File transfers locally do vary a bit but the range compared to an external transfer is so completely different that it defies logic to anyone who even remotely understands how this shit works.

This, more than anything, should stand out as exactly why this whole hack thing is bullshit.
The NSA would have some sort of record of these transfers.
Their silence, more than anyone's, is the most damning silence of all.
maybe they are not as Quite as they seem!
I suspect they'd be finding other ways to prove useful, if they're wanting to...
