Folks:

http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/980730/crl_networ_1.html

says that Walnut Creek CDROM's server downloaded the most software in
one day, 417 gigabytes of files, on Tuesday, July 28, 1998. The record
was achieved using FreeBSD on only one server colocated on CRL's national
Internet backbone.

Walnut Creek CDROM set the record of transferring 417 gigabytes of files
in one day, surpassing Microsoft Corporation's [Nasdaq:MSFT] record of
transferring approximately 350 gigabytes of files per day during the
Windows95 release. Microsoft used more than 40 server machines to achieve
the previous record, while Walnut Creek CDROM used a single 200MHz Intel
Pentium Pro processor running FreeBSD.

What I want to know is what is the most data moved in a day by a Linux
web/ftp server? Anyone know?

Thanks.
