Programmatically transfer large amounts of data across internet

[Guest]

Hi

I'm developing a distributed app, of which clients (thin or rich) will need
to receive regularly, a large volume of data, (1Mb+) for display

My question is, what's the most efficient way of doing this programmtically?
Are web-services the best way, or is there a 'quicker' way?

Thanks

Jon

Jon,

If you don't have to check things first, than my expierience is that the
webclient is extremely fast.

I hope this helps,

If you're going to use Web Services, do yourself a favor and use DIME
attachments. You'll need to use Web Service Enhancements but it's a great
way to transfer data.
