since the FTP has crossed 2000GB mark so this line needs to be changed

BetaArchive - A Free Beta Repository
With over 1000GB in our Beta Repository, we are quite possibly the largest repository of it's kind on the web!

:idea:

They don't have to change it since 2000GB is over 1000GB

You're right, we don't need to, but we should

The archive size does show on the homepage though which helps. I could go further and make it update the 1000GB figure dynamically

Yea it will be more attractive btw it was just a suggestion

hmm updating dynamically would be a good idea though

Andy · **Post subject:** Re: Homepage **Posted:** Mon Jun 20, 2011 6:35 pm

I didn't do it dynamically because the display can be temperamental sometimes and shows the wrong value. I'll update it manually every so often.

yea it will be better as it will be a long time span before the FTP reaches another 1000GB so it will be unnecessary coding

Also change some of your meta tags. "Over 1.8TB..." needs updating

Evidently. I noticed this when I fixed up the image uploader.

Yeah I need to re-jig the whole lot anyway but I need to do a bit of research first.

Is there any reason for why it's listed as GB and not TB?

Andy · **Post subject:** Re: Homepage **Posted:** Wed Jun 22, 2011 2:44 pm

Simple reason, it looks bigger

2000GB sounds psychologically larger than 2TB.

That's probably literally the only reason.

Pretty amazing. Personally though I find 3TB to be larger than 3000GB, because its in GB and so many zeroes I just assume 3000GB to mean three hundred GB, while TBs are huge...

Like if it was 3000000kb, I would think its measured in kb so it must be tiny.

Should be something special when it reaches over 9000 *hehe*

Anyway personally displaying it in GB's rather than TB's looks smaller to me but well that's just me. I guess it depends on if people know how much a TB is or not

Generally, big numbers look more impressive.
