The chinese are probably overselling like crazy (not to say Dropbox don't), if a a few million chinese start filling up on those TBs they will run into trouble very quickly... but they know this won't really happen, so they just use this for marketing purposes. /imho

Baidu Yun allow you to download some files through bittorrent. You just have to upload your torrent file then it will be downloaded on their servers.

I don't have a great connection at home but i can upload 6Go files from my computer with 1.5Mo/s or 2Mo/s to my BaiduYun personal storage, and i reach 3Mo/s per downloads.

It's quite common in china to use BitTorrent, and most of my friends downloads more than 10Go per day.

I agree that it must be about a marketing campaign but it's still incredible. I have already reach 1.5To, and i didn't have any email from them or warning.
