i am not sure where to put this so i chose general discussion however you moderators can move to the right place if needed.
i was wondering is there a limitation in older versions of web software that for every request for a document there has to be a copy of the document?
i am asking because remember the bbc dump that was on tpb a long time ago it was a dump of the bbc library or something before it closed (unfortunately i cant find it to point to since it was way before raid where it may have been lost to the raid)
in that there was a folder named video gaiden in that folder was a redundant copies of a folder and html
open the folder and you would see another folder and html file and so on.
now the more recent archive dump geocities Geocities - The PATCHED Torrent
in that if i unpack the uppercase/geocities-E-n.7z.001 file inside the file is geocities/YAHOOIDS/E/n/EnchantedForest/Dell/2237/dino
inside the folder dino there are a bunch of html files and gif files and another folder dino inside that dino is a duplicate of everything including dino and so on 180 times.
oh by the way it was some site about dinosaurs
i was wondering is there a limitation in older web software that could cause a file busy error or page hang if more than 1 user is accessing it so to allow popular sites to be read you have to have a copy of the page for every simultaneous access of a web page and in this case at it's peak 180 users could access that same page.
or was it a corruption of the hard drive that caused the dumper (tar or 7zip) to get caught in a loop packing the same folder over and over 180 times.
if any of you want to try downloading the archive you will need a hard drive of at least 2tb formatted case sensitive otherwise the download will fail .
while the archive is only less than 700 gig you need extra room to unpack.
