Otherwise known as 'what happens when you post videos and photos to a popular site and it gets dugg'. 🙂
This sort of use has a different profile from a normal keynote event (much larger files) so most of the stats we normally give aren't particularly relevant, although they are still high for an average site - 3.7 million hits in 24 hours for example. Instead, we'll concentrate on data transferred.
Statistics start when the front page results story was posted at 4:25am EST on Thursday, 9th November so don't include the entry or voting periods.
Usage during 24 hour period after posting (i.e. up to 4:25am EST, Friday 10th)
