1. A method of transferring a set of data over a network, the method comprising:

  • monitoring the level of actual network bandwidth utilization;

    identifying a maximum monitored level of actual utilization;

    calculating a threshold level of utilization as a function of the maximum monitored level of utilization;

    if the actual level is less than the threshold level, separately receiving a plurality of discrete portions of the set of data over the network;

    repeating at least said monitoring step and incrementing a counter each time a discrete portion of the data is received over the network, wherein the size of the discrete portions of the data is a function of the value of the counter; and

    increasing the size of the discrete portions of data when the value of the counter is greater than a predetermined value.
