Torrent promising huge amounts of leaked data is now live

[Samdb]

or holy Big Bang, depending on the personal beliefs LOL

I see what you did there ;)

[Hyydrah]

Heyyyyy.... anyone here have Google fibre???     :P

Linus has 10Gb ethernet.  :P

[LAwLz]

Linus has 10Gb ethernet.  :P

That's just locally. He doesn't have a 10Gbit connection to the Internet (I think).

[Hyydrah]

No, I think that's what he meant. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to stream as well or upload videos as quickly.

You're wrong.... Linus streams in 720p for some time because of weird bandwith related/xsplit issues. Videos can be uploaded as private files and then he can decide when to make them available. Anyway, 10 Gb internet afaik is available in Japain only.

[LAwLz]

No, I think that's what he meant. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to stream as well or upload videos as quickly.

I am 99.9% sure that he does not have 10Gigabit/s download speed, or upload (most likely not even 10Gigabit up/down combined). He had like 50Mbps or something along those limes at his house, and then he had 10Gbit/s between certain things like his computer and the NAS.

Even if he doesn't, he can probably still store the 1.7TB file.

Lol... That's his LAN, not 10gig connection from his ISP dude.

[zeros]

No. I'd have to have the password first.

The file is 1.7TB big. I have a download speed of 375 KB/s.

Assuming it uses normal Kilobytes and not.... *shudder* Kibibytes (I hate saying that, with a passion), it's 1,700,000,000 (1.7 billion) Kilobytes.

1.7 billion divided by 375 means it will take 28,333,333.333..... seconds or 472,222.222.... minutes or 7,870.370370.... hours or 327.93 days to download.

....

Lol screw that. I aint dedicating my entire internet speed to this for nearly a year.

I'll let the guys in Kansas City or Austin download this (they have Google Fiber, so 100 Mb/s up/down. They download 12.5 MB/s

1,700,000 MB at 12.5 MB/s would take 136,000 seconds, or 2,266.666.... minutes, or 37.777.... hours, or 1.5740740...... days.

Yeah, I'll leave it to them.

And that's assuming there are enough seeders to actually give out that much upload speed.

Which, if someone in one of those cities does get it, that's a loooot of upload speed for the rest of the torrent guys.

I have 100Mbps UP/Down offered by my ISP (actually they don't even say what the UP speed should be, it's really vague). But from that speed I get on Speedtest.net 94Mbps Down and 75Mbps Up(for up this is the best case it goes between 68 and 75Mbps...) Anyways I reached these speeds in MB/s on uTorrent, which for me would mean 1700GB/0.0118Gb/s = 40h if it would go full speed all the time :D. (11.8Mbps = 0.0118Gbps)

With 10Gbps you could download it in just 23min :lol:  and with 1Gbps in 3h47min.

 

No, I think that's what he meant. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to stream as well or upload videos as quickly.

That is his home network, only between all the computers in his house. I think he has 200Mbps down now, he upgraded it from 50Mbps. Only problem he has/had was upload speeds and bandwidth.

[Thatmaniscool]

If only I had more space on my HDD and a xtreme connection.  Just the mere thought of top secret next gen info and source codes gives me the giggles.

[RuecanOnRails]

The hardest part of this download... After I shutdown my PC or change some things and resume downloading I need to wait hours for it to check the file.

 

If I didn't have to constantly check the file, I'd be a decent way into the download.

 

For being such a great h4xor, why couldn't he have placed it into numerous rar'd files with par recoveries if some get corrupted. Would hate to download the entire thing only to find several gigs are corrupted and the file is useless.

[Hyydrah]

If that's true it's still over four times as fast as the download speeds we get here in Toronto.

[911^NEmeSis]

Don't worry, we can use Titan and China's new super computer to crack the pass! ::P

[PhilPC]

Wow, that is crazy, 1.7tb of info is just ridiculous. Ive had the same PC for 6 years and i am barely close to filling up 300gb of documents. there must be some really interesting stuff in there. 

 

well I'm about to lose 3.28TB of data because Windows 8 Storage Spaces just had a hissy fit

see http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/27635-windows-8-storage-spaces-cant-remove-faulty-drive/

[zeros]

Well, no...

1GB = 1000MB

1GiB = 1024 MiB

 

Windows labels it wrongly, but for example some Linux distros correctly use the GiB prefix.

You're not a very good grammar nazi.

Lol

[Justjuice12]

Yeah, I have Cogeco and I get 65 Mb/s but I think Linus has Shaw or something, which is probably close to 250 Mb/s. It's kind of dumb that Rogers, Shaw, Bell and Cogeco kinda screwed us over with a duopoly in internet service. Bell + Cogeco on the East coast, and Rogers + Shaw on the West.

So, where are our answers?

It was pooorn...

 

Also, thread necroing. =P You have been reported! D=<

Hasn't been a month so there :P

[Bleedman0xx]

I know. =P

 

I've actually forgotten about this thread. Glad you brought it back up.

[Esivo]

I guess we need more than a month to download all the data x)

[RobV]

I'm sure it will be released eventually by some means, he probably has the password on a timer as well. If that is true, all these companies are going to do everything they can to keep him out of jail.

[newbie]

So curious to know what's inside the file.

I'm honnestly a bit skeptical but I still have confidence that there are impotant files that could reveal a whole lot.

[RuecanOnRails]

I cancelled my download after a dozen %.

 

Didn't like my odds of getting a corrupted file. It really should have been released in a split format with partial files for recovery. Having one file of that size, could easily get corrupted somewhere along the lines of downloading making the entire thing useless when it comes time to decrypt it.

 

If/when it gets released I'm sure there will be places hosting individual files or groups of files which could be downloaded at will. I'll definitely take the time to go through the file tree and grab anything that might interest me. But committing to such a large single file download just seems pointless.
