ChatGPT and Wolfram Alpha confirmed to me that it's about 37 days, which is 888 hours, not 88 :)

Wolfram Alpha: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=400tb+at+1gbps ChatGPT: https://chatgpt.com/share/4ddd464a-dabd-4c12-9cc4-e8271a51a6...

(ChatGPT did a great job at breaking down the problem)

So did your sibling comments and I imagine anyone with very basic maths skills could.

And most likely burning a lot less carbon than ChatGPT.

Except everyone is forgetting the TCP/IP overhead. I also asked ChatGPT, and 400TB of data creates a 10.7TB overhead, which adds ~5 days...
if you had done the math yourself you would have arrived at a different number....
How so, care to educate the lazy?

It's all theoretical anyway, if it's 400TB split into individual files, and I'm using millions of HTTPS GET's, that's also overhead...

Gotta love nerds spending their Saturday (nights) arguing about some simple maths...
