In Polish we also use the term of weight towards bytes.
When I was a teen in modem era, the term ciężko przepchnąć ( hard to push ) was also commonly used to describe the relation between the weight of the upload and the channel speed when sending big files.

@frankboon@pol.social @joomy@functional.cafe Exactly! Also in Russian "speed" was often referred to as "width" (probably because of English "bandwidth"). so the joke sometimes was expanded to: "the software weighs two meters. How much time does it take to (down)load it if the channel is 56 kbps wide?"
