Transfers to/from Birmingham

Introduction
Transfers where either the source or target are on the Birmingham cluster. I am keeping a log of these as they come up. I don't do them too often so it will take a while to accumulate enough data points to discern any patterns…

Notes
g-u-c is just shorthand for globus-url-copy
'p' is the total number of simultaneous connections and is the sum of the parameter for g-u-c -p option for all the commands running together
e.g. 4 g-u-c commands with no -p option gives total p=4 but 3 g-u-c commands with -p 5 gives total p=15
