Twenty Terabytes Transferred
Posted by Michael on 21 December 2008, 01:00 GMT

Recently we have reached a new milestone in ticalc.org history: From April 1997 to December 2008, ticalc.org transferred 20 TB of data. While it took us seven years to transfer our first ten terabytes of data, we have now transferred another ten terabytes in only four years!

You can find more ticalc.org statistics on our Web Server Statistics page.

Because the printed collection (books) of the Library of Congress is estimated at 20 TB, we have now transferred one Library of Congress worth of calculator-related data. Congratulations to all of the people who have contributed to and visited ticalc.org for making this milestone possible!

how bytes is a terabyte? If it's like the library of congress, that must be a lot. I wonder how much of it was downloaded.

Either 1,000,000,000,000 or 1,099,511,627,776 bytes, depending on whether you're using SI or binary units. That would be 1000 or 1024 gigabytes, respectively.

From what I can tell, the vast majority of it are things like 1) the ticalc.org logo, 2) Virtual TI, 3) the 83plus/basic/games directory index, and 4) the archive master.index file. The quadratic solvers don't get anywhere as many hits as the above four items.

There must have been a lot of hits when xLIB xLIB Revolution and Wolfeinstein 83+ made Engadget front page too

Probably not a lot of aggregate bandwidth though. The thing with VTI is that it's so big, and with the ticalc logo is that almost *everyone* will download that when surfing.
