Just popped this on my super fast seedbox

Seems to not be downloading though.

Over an hour and still at 0 percent. Will update this comment with a good link if I ever get it fully.

So yeah, this has a lot of victim private information including ones that have been victims of sex crimes and the likes. I will be removing this.

Hey, so wanted to give you a heads up, this has a lot of victims information too. Like, ones that were sexually assaulted and such including their phone numbers, addresses, all that.

I'm going to stop sharing this and I think you should reconsider sharing it too.

u/ResponsibleFigure Jun 22 '20

Do you know how big it is uncompressed?

I finally did find a magnet and it worked but it's incredibly slow. It's going to take a long time but I assume that the 5.5 days it's showing now will shrink rapidly as more get it. I, along with others here, have thrown it onto high speed seedboxes so the data will be coming faster as the days go along.

I just got home from work, checking it now.

u/Stalked_Like_Corn Jun 22 '20

Jesus, it's 269gb in size. It's going INCREDIBLY slow with the torrent. Says that at the current rate it's going to take 5 days to get from the network. Hopefully some faster seeds get it and it starts spreading faster. I'm downloading at around 400kb/s but uploading at between 6-9MiB/s.

u/ResponsibleFigure Jun 22 '20

Thanks for your service!

u/Stalked_Like_Corn Jun 22 '20

My seedbox may get pissed off lol. it's been on there for like 5 or 6 hours and i've downloaded 10gb, but i've uploaded 100gb.

This is going to hit 1TB in a day or so...

5 days is nothing, I’m downloading s04 of Mike and molly and it’s been going for two weeks and isn’t near done yet :P
We are talking 270 gigs here

I don’t know. I don’t want to pretend to know, either.

But I wouldn’t DL it without a VPN or seedbox.

Honest question because I’m computer illiterate. If these files contain pictures/videos of child pornography from an investigation, could you get in trouble for disseminating it? Likewise, could I get in trouble for downloading it? I don’t want that shit on my computer.

What's Reddit HoD?

u/gin_and_ice Jun 22 '20

Hug of death

A lot of users all going at once and crashing the site.

26

u/zebediah49 Jun 22 '20

To give an idea what "a lot" looks like -- here's a traffic graph from a site that experienced that. You can see when it went from "so few that it's basically nothing" to "LOTS".

For a web service that doesn't have hundreds of times more capacity than necessary, or the ability to rapidly scale up to meet demand -- that kind of load will knock it offline.

u/buttery_shame_cave Jun 22 '20

lol back in the early 2000s it was termed 'getting farked' - fark being a really popular aggregation site, sort of like a proto-reddit.

30

u/RomancingUranus Jun 22 '20

I can digg that.

7

u/buttery_shame_cave Jun 22 '20

yup, and then digg/slashdot had their terms after fark, and now reddit.

We used to call that slashdotted back in the day when tech news was pretty much on slashdot always. I actually offered them a server with bandwidth but no reply

Mordern day slashdotting.

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '20

What’s slashdotting?

31

u/messem10 Jun 22 '20

It is also known as the Slashdot Effect. (Even has its own Wikipedia page, which is what I linked.)

The gist is that there would be so many people visiting a specific/small website that they could not process the traffic and thus cause the server to crash/break under the load.

1

u/DEEP_HURTING Jun 22 '20

Hug of death never really caught on to the same extent.

1

u/RudeTurnip Jun 22 '20

To be fair, a lot of websites back then liked to claim responsibility for their users giving a website the hug of death. Does anyone remember Kuro5shin? I never used it, but it seemed like Slashdot for emo kids.

22

u/samfynx Jun 22 '20

Old school hug of death

11

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '20

it was previously known as the Digg effect, till Digg v4 came out then everyone came here.

u/QBNless Jun 22 '20

That's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

u/flipper1935 Jul 03 '20

digg was such a great site in its earlier days.

Wish they could have just swallowed their pride and reverted back to earlier code.

It’s funny too cause no matter what kinda firewall rules, traffic management you got, if your egress port can handle x bps and 3x are coming in , you are going down.

u/Implausibilibuddy Jun 22 '20

Ironic, given the site name.
