The present invention provides a data transfer management system for a telecommunications network, and a method of transferring data in a telecommunications network. The data transfer management system of the present invention comprises a request handler for receiving a request from a caller device for a transfer of a plurality of blocks of data to a recipient device via the telecommunications network, and a network capacity indicator for receiving an indication of available network capacity. Further, buffering means is arranged to determine, having regard to said network capacity indication, when to retrieve from the caller device each block of data, the buffering means being arranged to cause each retrieved block of data to be stored in a storage device. Transfer means is arranged to indicate to the recipient device that the data transfer management system has data for the recipient device, and to determine, having regard to the network capacity indication, when to transmit each block of data from the storage device to the recipient device. By this approach, the plurality of blocks of data are transferred from the caller device to the recipient device via the telecommunications network under control of the data transfer management system having regard to available network capacity.
