Let’s break it up into different categories:
- The Largest Torrent File:
When we refer to the largest torrent we mean the single .torrent file that downloads the most data, not the size of the .torrent file itself. There are several huge torrent files active at the moment, but the record goes to a torrent with a 746.70 GBcollection of all 2010 World Cup soccer matches (~ 6GB per half).
2. The Largest Image File:
On 18 June 2009, NASA launched the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) to map the surface of the Moon and collect measurements of potential future landing sites as well as key science targets.
As a result, the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) archive now contains complete coverage from 60°N to the north pole with a pixel scale of 2 meters.
The LROC team assembled 10,581 NAC images, collected over 4 years. It is likely one of the world’s largest image mosaics in existence, or at least publicly available on the web, with over 680 gigapixels of valid image data covering a region of the Moon.
3. The Largest Text File:
At whooping 180 GB, probably the largest text file ever!!!
4. The Largest Word:
Actually the longest word ever.
You can download a 65KB text file of the entire 189,819 letter word http://www.geekologie.com/2012/1...
It is the chemical name for titin, a human protein, and the largest known protein. It takes 3-hours and 33 minutes to pronounce the whole thing.
FINALLY!!!
5. The Largest Leaked Document: The Panama Papers
The leak of more than 11.5 million documents from a law firm in Panama that specializes in creating off-shore tax havens for wealthy clients.
Leaked documents, the 2.6 terabytes of leaked data consist of emails, photographs, PDF documents, spreadsheets and entries from a company database, some which date back to the 1970s.
The 2.6 terabytes of Panama Papers data are made up of more than 320,166 text documents, 1.1 million images, 2.15 million PDF files, 3 million database excerpts and 4.8 million emails.
It would take just 252 days of 24-hour uptime to download the entire 2.6 terabytes of data from a fast server over a 1 MBps connection.
