Netflix lets you download TV shows and movies to play while you’re offline, but there are limits in place (100 active downloads per device). The app only lets you grab a specific number of episodes or movies, and they expire after a while. Also, the smartphone, tablet, or laptop you’re using comes with limited storage. Even without Netflix’s limits, you can’t use the entire disk capacity for movie downloads.
But say you or a friend of yours wants to download the entire Netflix catalog, and storage isn’t an issue. How long would that take? A crazy new innovation in internet data speed transfers out of Japan gives us a mind-bending answer: 1 second. That’s how long it would take to download all of Netflix over the new record-breaking connection, which reacheed 1.02 petabits per second over nearly 2,000km (over 1,100 miles) of optic fiber.
