If you feel the need to point out an alternative solution, then I think you have missed the entire point by a wide margin.

Nice hack. Hacks involving strace and awk are fun, the only thing that could have improved this is to somehow involve netcat too.

...somehow involve netcat too.

I was thinking of slowing the copy operation down a bit more by roundtripping it through Australia...

I think the people pointing out an alternative solution are just trying to join in the fun.
