Hypothetically... If someone were to download ALL the porn on teh intarweb...

... including the illegal stuff.

How many HDD's would you need? How would you go about obtaining and connecting that many hard drives? Power draw? Neccessary network infrastructure?

hijacking google's network would be a good start, in terms of bandwidth, storage, and search capabilities 😀

All the pr0n in the world couldn't fit on the combined hard drive capacities of ATOT.


allthough god knows we've tried. 😉

i dunno...we all have pretty big.......hard drives 😛

Most of Google's storage is text. I think we overestimate their capacity. Same with their bandwidth.

yeah...but ungodly amounts of text

i dunno, how much space do you think they have?

how about gmail allocations?

 

[Taggart]

working on it as we speak😀

now back to the lab...

 

[Cheezeit]

thats alot of pron

I don't think they actually have that much storage for each member.

My guess is that if everyone with a gmail account tried to fill it to the max, Google would run out of space rather quickly.

yeah, i'm sure that's waaay oversold...how would they be able to afford that much space otherwise, especially when most people are using 10-50 megs

2gb is quite a lot... and they must have it to offer it...i assume?

yeah...they may offer so many GB's but I bet they are betting you do not use it

Probably needs a year of total production output of hard drives from Western Digital.

Not much compared to other places. I think Giganews would be a better starting point. Infrastructure designed for large binaries, and enough space to store 50 days of them, at that. Clear off the music, movies, games, leave the porn, and you'd have a shot at getting... Maybe 10%.

 

[dug777]

AS far as i understand it they mainly use a huge networks of refurbed PCs...at least i read that quite a while back, so they must all have at least a 20gb HDD in them i'm guessiing...

Actually, I suspect that a project this size would result in a literal bidding war from the HD manufacturers. HDD capacity would be comparatively easy to get... But the problem comes when you consider how low production on RAID5 controllers is. We'd need a FVCKING LOT of those.

Does warez not comprise the bulk of home users broadband traffic?

really?

what about reliability factor?

and the electric bill would be huge with that many machines with low storage capacities

They used to, but not anymore. Google now uses an actual legitimate infrastructure of new stuff. Datacenters full of it.

why on earth would you want raid5?

i'd just go a non raid setup..maximise capacity..and it's only pr0n if you lose some 😉

Yes, but we want *ALL* the pr0n on teh intarweb. If you lose some, it's not all.
