I'm in the process of copying about 8.5 TB from one server to another. It's been going for about 24hrs and is at 82%. It's already surpassed me previous record.

you?
 
10 x 288 TB storage pods replicated to 60 x 288 TB pods using an Arista 7500E switch. All 10gb single mode fiber, with MTP cabling in-between.
 
I can't really recall, probably a couple TB at very most. I've done maybe half a TB over the internet, that's always fun. :D Glad I have FTTH now... When I worked in IT, probably more when we did a SAN migration, but that's kinda cheating given it's work stuff. According to the IT manager it should have only taken a few minutes though. "Just do a copy star dot star, back when I worked at IBM it would only take a few minutes!" Not quite how it works with running VMs. :p
 
The most I've ever transferred was probably in 2007. I downloaded ~1.1TB via UDP over the course of 2 weeks or so. Thank god for PAR files!

Locally? Probably 2TB at one time.
 
WAN:About 410TB from Seattle-ish area to Miami-ish area, took about 14 days or so.
LAN: About 2.25PB, took just over a week.
