I'm definitely of the opinion that they're essentially low fidelity copies of minds.
RealPlayer was able to get streaming music over a 14.4 modem, but it did it by originally only an 8kbps audio stream.
I imagine mind files for someone might have to make a lot of assumptions to fill in the blanks.

Re-encoded Every Time We Touch at 8kbps and it's way more listenable that you'd expect for something so small in filesize

Consulta pública pra licitação dos ônibus, ótimo. http://t.co/Gf35OGVdrV Mas 837MB num servidor mequetrefe, vindo a 8kbps é sacanagem.

8kbps is the baseline for the original link cable with an original dmg. throughput doesn't get lower than that. game boy color allows speeds up to 512kbps.
i'm sure the protocol has some overhead but i can't imagine it's tens of kilobytes to fill the animation's runtime lol.

the pokemon data structure in the gen ii game encompasses 48 bytes and the gameboy link cable is good for an 8kbps data rate so why exactly does the trade animation take like thirty seconds?

Oh my gosh right?? Sounds like 8kbps or something.

I mean, 8KBPS is 1 kilobyte per second in terms of bandwidth and a 5.25" floppy drive can do 300kbps (~37kb/s), so it's about 30 times less bandwidth than a 360k floppy drive can support, it's mostly storage space that's the concern, considering most MP3's are 5-10MB.

one time I compressed a single MP3 down to 8KBPS to try and run it off a 360k floppy disk (for funsies) and it did work, but it sounded as mentioned: like a talking greeting card.

if your MP3's are compressed to 8KBPS maybe, but they sound like a talking greeting card

yes, but no-one's listening to 8kbps MP3's (though to be fair, I did that once just to try and fit a song on a 5.25" floppy disk and it sounded like a 2000s Newgrounds animation)

Eu também usei DOS, Windows 3.11, Windows 95, discada, mIRC, chat UOL, ICQ, P2P, download de JPG a 8kbps...
É só uma piada, não leve tão a sério.
