calc
Something doesn't click here.

Data transferred: 3.015 Tbytes (31.730 Gbytes)
Average data transferred per day: 2.130 Gbytes (4.532 Gbytes)

Are we using incorrect terminology here?

31.73 GB != 3.015 TB

1024 GB = 1 TB

31 GB is more like, .031 TB

and 2.1 GB cannot equal 4.5 GB

I do suggest you check your terms here, sounds like you're mislabeling GigaBITS and GigaBYTES, maybe even TeraBITS =]

You're right.

But you may also be confusing the "." for a "," in the states because it is a period in some countries.

but that still doesn't explain the mislabeling...

You missed a very important part there:

(Figures in parentheses refer to the 7 days to 03-Apr-2001 00:07).

So ticalc.org served 31.73 GB just over the last week. 3.015 TB is the total data transfer, ever.

Glad I could clear that up!

Holy Crap Batman! TiCalc.org is huge!

Notice on the chart that shows downloads by the hour how it peaks around midnight, then goes back down. its cuz we are calc geeks that would rather play on our calcs than go to parties lol.

Wrong time zone you crazy ticalc.org viewer.

Actually I play with my calc at parties. The last party I went to I had out my calc with my blood alcohol calculator program on it. Everyone wanted me to figure their BAC. But then I kept drinking and didn't care anymore.

Enough with the milestones. Nobody really cares about the milestones, and i cant see why you make such a big deal out of them. Your incessant 'bragging' is become way too redundant.

when are you going to update the arcives?

Haha, have you seen all those abandoned files in the uploads folder lately? Who names their files like that?!

-Corey

I wonder who it was that created these, uh, interesting filenames:

tilecp (THIS is the FINAL upload! please forgive me!).zip

tilecp (no, THIS is the final one.... i'm an idiot....).zip

Bravo! It's hard to believe that a website dedicated to calculator games could be so popular...it just goes to prove that there are a lot more losers like me out there. Somehow I still think that we all aren't taking advantage of all the features this site has to offer. Some examples of service that I don't get enough use are reviews, articles, IRC, and Awards, all of which are found it the community section. I think that TI-calc should try to promote that section more. The would ensure that TI-Calc will hit another 200 Million Requests.

This site isn't *dedicated* to calculator games. There's just a lot of them, and that's almost all that ever gets put up.

Hey, wait a minute. I guess it is. Never mind.

You were right the first time. It is not dedicated to *games*, but rather to calculators (specifically, of the Texas Instruments graphing variety) in general. It just so happens that the most popular programs *are* games, and therefore are the first type of program associated with the site.

That means the server uses on average 25.87kbytes of bandwidth. Not bad.

I can imagine in 10 years someone digging this up somehow and laughing at a "mere 3 terabytes" =)

Quote from Bill Gates, circa 1985:
"800 kilobytes should be enough memory for anybody."

Ah, how times change.

I'm fairly sure that he actually said "640 kilobytes," referring to the maximum amount of RAM the original IBM PC could have.

btw, here's another interesting quote from the past:

"...you should be able to find a [2.4 kbit/s] modem that serves as a long-term investment -- one that you can use into literally the next century." -- PC Magazine, 1991-03-26

2.4 kb/s? I can't begin to imagine how slow that is. I have cable (roughly 1483.6 kb/s on a test just now performed) and it can still be slow at times! (sorry for those that still have 56k, and think i'm a big loser for complaining about Cable).

Wow... just re-ran the test, and I got 1665.3 kb/s for my Cable. Then I ran it again, and it said "Infinity kb/s". Hmm... somehow I highly doubt that...

Sounds like you try with a too small file.
to test speeds about 1M/s you should try with a transfer of at least 20-30M

yeah, I was quoting PC Mag too... I just couldn't find the issue so I guessed on the number... thx for the correction.

You're welcome.
