7 days to download 200TB+ does not seem reasonable.

No, I agree. Sorry, my phrasing there was poor. I meant: it is completely reasonable to say that "he has seven days to download it", not that it is completely reasonable for him to only have seven days.

'to say that...' is discussing which of the statements in the article is a better interpretation, 7 vs 60. It is not making any claims about the reasonableness of the 7 days to download the soon to be deleted data.

based on the rest of the comment, I'm guessing GP missed a negative like "don't", or "isn't", or "not", etc
