>BRRips are frequently 30+GB for a 1-2 hour movie. Do the math. You’re off by like 5-8x.

No. First, 1-2 hour is a 100% increase. 15GB for a 2hour movie is realistic, with a very high quality (CRF 18 or 19). Which would then be ~15Mbps, considering that there is also audio. Going further does not increase quality, but does increase file size.

It seems to me that you want to transfer an intermediate-codec (or even raw) via the Internet.
