bandwidth question

[Planker]

I am writing an app that will download a 60MB file to update a DB on 20 remote users that all have 144K air cards. the internet connection that host the DB has a max upload speed of 250kbps and upload of 1MB. I am trying to figure out at what KB will the upload speed kill the download speed. I am also trying to figure out how to randomize the times they download the file in a controlled manner on the update flag is tripped. Rob

It doesn't seem like a hard problem to solve... but I'm unsure: "the internet connection that host the DB has a max upload speed of 250kbps and upload of 1MB" is the connection that is serving the 20 remote users? And is the upload 250k or 1M?
