I was just thinking about the sheer amount of data that's going to be created over the next few days - it's insane.

Before compression, the entire show will be over 40GB in size, and even after compression, it will still be 3.5-4GB. I also don't think most software and hardware MP3 players can even play a single MP3 file of such a length. And hopefully they are using the newer beta version of Audacity, because the current release (1.2) only supports 13.5 hours of recording.

Maybe a torrent will be offered to download all this?

Anywho, best of luck, and I hope I can find some time to sit down and listen to all 72 hours in the future.

They should just sell it through Lulu, see how long it takes to crash the site.

That is a GENIUS idea. Reduces the strain on the KaTG servers and shares it with the masses.

THAT is what P2P is all about.

(and downloading pr0n and warez, but this too)

I vote another go to this. I think it'd be really great.

3.6GB, I did nerd math.
Break it up into 10-hour chunks and release it over the next week.
