I have a text-only archive of the Internet since 1992. 52TB raw including edits. 22TB without. Crawlers have indexed 82 search engines since AltaVista. (whatever)

52 TB? That seems a bit small. I'd think that it would be more along the lines of PB or even EB.

Text only could be low, especially if English (or latin alphabet only) only and compressed.
