Then you need to multiply 90 megabytes by the number of monthly visits — which is around 350 million for Xvideos. This comes to around 29 petabytes of data transferred every month, or 50 gigabytes per second.

At ConFoo in Canada this spring, Eric Pickup from Manwin talked about YouPorn and among his slides were notes about how much bandwidth they use. I can't find them (don't have any way to read powerpoint slides at the moment), but the numbers were staggering. And Xvideos is bigger.

Something that I wonder about: ISPs are coordinating with Akami and have NetFlix racks in their server rooms and run Usenet servers to facilitate NZB piracy, and YouPorn isn't doing similar things? Why is that business so different from the other ones that have distributed solutions? Are those sites really that much larger than YouTube? There's something here that still doesn't make sense.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
