    Quick News Bit: Last month (June) we managed to pump out over 16 terabytes of data to users on the internet, that beats our previous record of 4.2 terabytes the previous month. That's over 16,000 GB of data. A big thank you to all users for helping us achieve this milestone. Lets see if we can break that again!

    Over 16 Terabytes, that is amazing. I wonder what changed so much from then to now. From 4 terabytes to 16 for a record is insane.

    I imagine the Fight Night Round 4 demo helped contribute to the massive GB growth from May to June.

    I think if we can manage to get our hands on the Madden 10 demo somewhat early, we may be able to break that record.

    Maybe if digiex provided a download for Skynet...although then thousands of people would try to take over the world...

    I heard that download becomes available after the 1,000,000 post.

    If you tried KillerWhiteMan I would punish you. I'd make sure John Connor was born in order to take you down :D

    Skynet surprisingly isn't that big. Its only 25 Terabytes, that would bring in a lot of traffic.;) Oh wait nevermind its 25 Terabytes unRARed and its 22KB when RARed. Obviously it needs to be that small when your on the go.

    The thing is its filled up with one huge dummy file, its just big like that when not compressed so people will give up on decompressing it because it takes so long. All it has is a "Take over the world" button.

    Its sorta like Animal Crossing on the Wii. When its in ISO form its 4.37GB but when its compressed its only 0.30GB because the rest is just a dummy.:P
