We'll give each request file as being 4.5MB. That's probably overgenerous, but that's O. K. wcarchive served in its 24hour day of fame 219_381 files. That's 9140 files per hour. It also served 112_436MB of data that day. That's 4684MB per hour. At 1100 files per hour, the average being 4.5MB, each MS server would have served 4950MB per hour. However, we're being somewhat generous to Microsoft. I would venture to say that the two totals are probably pretty close, although I suspect wcarchive would be ahead by about ~75MB, if we were to take the all-time peak hour of each. However, this of course has to be all speculation since we don't have the real numbers for the MS servers. -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
