No it hasn't ;-) The current total size of
Bitsavers (everything including
bits and pdf) is 96 GB on a ZFS "partition".
Maybe I did not make myself clear enough. When I wrote
100 Gigabytes, I meant 10**11 bytes, because as I see the archive with
rsync there are 100461300404 bytes in it. Certainly when I made the other
calculations I used 10**11 bytes.
I did not mean 10**8 * 2**10 bytes.
I did not mean 10**5 * 2**20 bytes.
I did not mean 10**2 * 2**30 bytes.
I suspect your 96 GB is 96 * 10**3 * 2**20 bytes, i.e. what you call
a GB is actually what a SI-sensitive person would call a KiloMebibyte.
