There's no way that millions of actual people have just downloaded a 31 TB file though, consumer machines don't have anything like the sort of disc space available for anyone to push a file like that and expect all those individuals to get it.
I agree. However 31TB really isn’t that much anymore. 1TB microsd cards are like $20 now. Would only take like $600 and a week for an average joe to back up a data dump of that size.

10 TB drives are only $250-$400.
Consumer machines could easily have that much space.
