I think the real problem with "downloading the Internet" would be that the amount of data would always grow faster than your available bandwidth. As more people get high-speed internet we also get more bandwidth-intensive, user-created content like YouTube videos and so on.

I would just buy a major backbone ISP company since they have fiber laid out to all the other major carriers. Combine that with having a humungous number of multithreading jobs doing GET requests would decrease your proposed number of 1817. Still, I don't think you can achieve downloading the entire internet in one's lifetime. I know you have chosen simple numbers so that readers can understand your point. I'm just adding my .02. :) If you had all the money in the world, why would you even settle for a 1Gbps line?
