Defendants, through the Anna’s Archive domains, have made, and continue to make, all 2.2 TB of WorldCat® data available for public download through its torrents,” OCLC wrote in the complaint it filed in an Ohio federal court.
I get that it’s not about the bandwidth, though; it’s about needing to upgrade their security since they scraped the site without needing to log in, so obviously their site wasn’t secure. They’re claiming IT costs as damages.
They should have had security in place beforehand if they didn’t want people to scrape their site. If AA hadn’t done it someone else would have. Don’t make it public if you don’t want people to use it.
It was 2.2 TB that is nothing…
Seriously… I’ve downloaded 2TB in a week before.

Just set a torrent size of 10tb and hit go. I’ll move that to permanent storage when it’s done.
