Jordan Golson was quick to start assembling links to some of those dramatic amateur videos of the waves crashing ashore, as well as links to broadcast media coverage from around the world.


Following that and other mentions, Golson's tsunami blog page at Cheese and Crackers was deluged with hits, and "for all you nerds out there" his main mirror site served up 114.09 terabytes of data in one day.

Most videos are now available from mirror sites and/or via BitTorrent, which looks like the ideal application for this kind of bandwidth problem.
