On Wednesday, the 1996-founded non-profit organization Internet Archive - which describes itself as an Internet library - revealed that it has unleashed approximately 1PB (1 petabyte) of archived data via BitTorrent file-sharing site.

Established with the key objective of being an Internet-based library of media and the Web itself, chiefly for preserving digital content, the Internet Archive said in a blog post that it is offering 1.5 million torrents; and intends to further increase the content which it serves up from the controversial peer-to-peer file sharing site.
