The duration is unrelated to the bandwidth required. Your bandiwdth
would be 20000 x kbps of the content, plus about 10-15% overhead, so
approximately 23000 x kbps of the content overall.

I'm pretty sure you can do that calculation yourself ;-)

I think my math is right, Your sustained bandwidth is 7.2 Gbps.
Total transfer would be 20K GB or roughly 20 TB. This is a huge
undertaking.
