homing pigeon with a thumb drive is actually faster
No faster than a laden swallow.
Comment on How do you like to transfer large files between friends across the internet?

Friends I know IRL: Thumbdrives.
Friends I only know via the Internet: Torrents or IRC filesharing.

Depends on how big the flash drive is, I suppose. Need to send a 1GB file? Just make a torrent. Need to send 40TB? Yeah, that hard drive is getting driven across town.

Perhaps two pigeons could carry the hard drive on a string. I’ve heard tell of swallows that have done this with coconuts.

Exactly what kind of pigeons are we talking about here? Or would you recommend switching to an avian variant of the migratory type?

I’d recommend either an african or european swallow.
