It’s kind of silly, but I still really dig the idea behind torrenting and peer to peer sharing of data. It’s cool to think about any old computer helping pass along some odd bits & bytes of data, whether a goofy drawing or strange story.

As of last year, English Wikipedia, articles only, text only, was about 22GB compressed (text compresses pretty efficiently), according to the current version of this page:
Some other sources describe the uncompressed offline copies as being around 50 GB, with another 100 GB or so for images.
Wikimedia, which includes all the media types, has about 430 TB of media stored.
