P2P Hub Data Capacity
-
FBI action over illegal file-swap[^] Each of the five hubs contained 40 petabytes of data, the equivalent of 60,000 movies or 10.5 million songs :wtf: How can an individual aquire storage of that size? I think even google has less storage than that. They're not making any money from P2P so they must have funded it out of their own pocket. Cheers James

Woow...amazing, 40 petabytes its equal to 40.000.000 gigabytes. :omg: BTW, Is it enough to download the internet ? :-D:-D "Courage choose who will follow, Fate choose who will lead" - Lord Gunner, Septerra Core "Press any key to continue, where's the ANY key ?" - Homer Simpsons Drinking gives me amazing powers of insight.

The hubs don't house the content, just the indexes to the content on the users hard drives. I suppose they must have hit some of the hubs that encourage illeagal file sharing.

Simple maths: 5 hubs of 40 petabytes each = 40 * 1024 * 4 * 250GB disks. You can say that one would need 163840 disks with 250GB each. A 250GB SATA disk is around $500, so this means that each of these 5 hubs costs $58,982,400. All this money only for the disks. You need a controller, computers, a/c, etc. Only the power bill for running 163840 disks at end of the month would be monstrous! I believe that is safe to say that each hub costs $100,000,000. So, the FBI action got around half a billion dollars of equipment? Isn't this a bit too expensive to see Kill Bill for free? Yes, even I am blogging now!

Yeah it looks like they got their sums wrong. I would guess it's more like 40 Terabytes, but even so, that is still a massive data store. Cheers James

Doesn't say anything about 40 petabytes of data on the article now. I think bbc got it wrong and changed it. Regards, Brian Dela :-) http://www.briandela.com IE 6 required.

I thought the hubs didnt have any data, they just listed what the users connected to it had.
