50 million visits would make up 4 percent of the Net? That seems high.

- dazbradbury 15y agoThey could be talking as a percentage of accessible data? Although, that seems like a difficult thing to calculate. EDIT: Seems like a few people have tried, so they could just take those numbers. For example: "5 billion gigabytes" - WiseGeek 2011 - http://www.wisegeek.com/how-big-is-the-internet.htm http://www.wisegeek.com/how-big-is-the-internet.htm According to Megaupload, they store over 100 petabytes of data. Which equals 102m GB - http://megaupload.com/?c=faq http://megaupload.com/?c=faq That would put them at roughly 2%. EDIT 2: Alternatively, google has them at about 1.8% reach - https://www.google.com/adplanner/planning/site_profile#siteDetails?identifier=megaupload.com https://www.google.com/adplanner/planning/site_profile#siteD...
- nikcub 15y agowhen you are talking about total internet traffic, 2% reach with a page that weighs 100KB is very different to having a 0.1% reach of people downloading pirated movies
- nikcub 15y agoat peak of popularity, photobucket would burst to high-single-digits of all bandwidth on the web. I can believe that megaupload would also burst to low-to-mid single digits considering just how much of the pirate tube sites and warez sites point to megaupoad now.
