If I wanted to download the internet...

How much storage space would I need to download all unique content on the internet? What if I just wanted the pron? ]How much storage space would I need to download all unique content on the internet? What if I just wanted the pron?

It would only be half as much if you only did it once, rather than twice.

 

[Mr Pickles]

You would need storage the size of the internet in order to download the internet. Maybe a little more for your OS. Unless you rar it....

I don't know but I think it would be really cool if we got as many people as possible to try and do it simultaneously one day. :laugh:

A fuckload.

After a quick Google, according to a study done by Berkeley, it was 532,897 terabytes in 2002. :Q

 

[Capt Caveman]

Midget pron itself would require trillions of terabytes of storage space.

That's it? I can put that in my NAS with room to spare.

 

[Tylanner]

Get serial.

Bandwidth would be the problem.

Multiple lifetimes spent downloading.

not all that much if you zipped it first.

you got that 1petabyte external hard drive on sale at microcenter last week too?

 

[imported_Champ]

I did it once...that was a fun weekend

The Internet was measured at over 532,897 terabytes nearly six years ago. Let's go with that figure.

If everyone on the internet used a program to synchronize and download a single part of the internet, ripping the beast piece by piece, could we take it down in one day?

Would every single active internet connection be enough to take down the internet in 1 day?

what do you mean by internet, is my computer part of it? since i host a server for my own use.

 

[MartyMcFly3]

A floppy disk should cover it.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

More content would be uploaded every hour than any connection could possibly download in that hour. You're pushing shit uphill.

 

[Shadow Conception]

You can't download a series of tubes.

 

[kranky]

Don't forget to subtract the 50% of internet content which is duplicated at other sites.

 

[TwiceOver]

5-Disk special edition set. Got mine off one of those hour long TV commercials.

I think its expanding faster than it can be compressed

Thanks to a generous grant from the Mellon Foundation, Internet Archive completed a 2 billion page web crawl in 2007. This is the largest web crawl attempted by Internet Archive. The project was designed to take a global snapshot of the Web.
