“Why make it difficult like that...”

The download you think you want is 37 TERRABYTES

How big are your pipes?

So, maybe it IS easier to scroll SOME of that data so you’re not out there with your poor ISP trying to choke down a Godzilla-sized data set.

I’ve got a 600MB/sec downlink — a 37TB would take me over 17hrs if my connection AND my storage media were able to read/write at full throttle continuously.

Or maybe you break the data up into smaller files. What an utterly novel idea. Can I patent that?

Why wouldn't it be in file sizes better optimized for download by the public at large?
