> BTW, one can go directly to a store and buy a new computer and start downloading. Not two hundred terabytes in a week. A week is 168 hours, and a gigabit network connection can only theoretically transfer 450 gigabytes per hour, or 75,600 gigabytes in 168 hours, still a far cry from over 200,000 gigabytes of content to download. Try getting more than a gigabit from anything other than custom fiber installations from a very limited selection of ISPs from a very limited subset of countries. That's even assuming they're able to just buy a new computer with over 200 terabytes of storage, set it up with a gigabit network connection, and somehow convince google to use a gigabit of upload bandwidth for a week straight, which they definitely will not do for a single customer, considering they already just got cut off for using too much resources. And that's also assuming the FBI didn't bar them from buying more computers somehow, and that computers are easily available / affordable in their country (including the said over 200 terabytes of storage). The lowest price-per-gigabyte listed on PC Part Picker (which doesn't have every product ever made, but is still useful) is $0.012, or 6 TB for $71.45[0]. You'd need about 40 of them to hold this data (237.22 TB), which works out to about $2,858 for just the drives.
