Amazing stats indeed. Any idea as to what that translates to in terms of GBs or TBs of storage ?
The reason I ask is that I have not been downloading all of the files for quite some time and feel the OCD need to start getting up to date with downloads and am wondering if any thought has been given to making everything available at one time ?
Some archival sites have had hard drive vines (a hard drive is physically mailed to a person who copies and mails to the next who copies and mails ... ad infinitum) or have used private P2P methods such as copy.com. Hard drive vines have issues with drives going missing or getting damaged, etc. Not exactly sure on copy.com as I have only just started to use it, but Isigned up for a free 20Gb account and currently have 220+GB of The Smiths archive material synced to date - and still going strong.

According to my List Of Shows page on the wiki we’ve passed a few important milestones in the availability of Radio 1 shows in recent weeks:
2/5ths of all Peel shows have at least some content recorded and available.
1 out of 5 shows have been preserved in their entirety.
Just over 1/3 of all Radio 1 output has been made available online.
There were just 6 minutes less than 666,666 minutes of Peel Radio One programming created.
Other interesting facts: 1998 is one of the worst years for show availability, you need to go back to 1977 for a leaner year.
6 years have more than 50% show availability, 1992, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004
