Hi All ! Walnut Creek CDRom (ftp.cdrom.com) has set up a new record. 417Gigs per 24 hours. You can find it at: http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/980730/crl_networ_1.html Now check my math: 417G / 24hr = 17.375G / 1hr 17.35G / 60 = 0.289G / 1 minute = (289MB / minute) 289MB / minute = 4.81MB / sec Now this is assuming that the information is at a steady flow at this rate all day long, plus the network conditions have to be near perfect during this 24 period. Do these numbers make sense or are they a bit optimistic ? (It could be that I suck at math =:) On a happier note, the previous "campion" was M$ with 350G / per day. The only difference was that they used 40 servers to achieve this, while Walnut Creek used only one =:) -Vans --- "When they took the fourth amendment, I was quiet because I didn't deal drugs.
