20K for a *view of a Mode 0 screen?

It's certainly in excess of 16K, because I had to up the buffer sizes
I was using in BeebEm to copy with a command to load a disc-based
hibasic in one of my !boot scripts..... I put them up to 64K ..

(AUN, incidentally, just sends them as one packet, but UDP
automatically fragmented the packet into multiple smaller ones..)
