# this is a simple script to generate checksums and

# you can see in the output below that it took only
# 9 tries to find a checksum with one zero, and it
# took 6132845 tries to find one with six zeros.

Background: I have a 2TB Apple Time Capsule that I've been using to store my media. I use BitTorrent a lot, through private trackers exclusively, and I use a Netherlands-based seedbox. Recently my seedbox was upgraded from 400GB storage to 1.35TB, and I that made me download a lot more (movies and season packs of TV shows, mainly).

I filled my Time Capsule pretty fast and went looking for the next step. I decided to get a RAID array and did a few weeks of research. I didn't want to have to spend a lot of time setting up the RAID, so I looked at the sexpensive options like Drobo and ReadyNAS. I really wanted to use ZFS because that's the new hotness, but even with the easy-to-use options, it seemed like more work than I really wanted to put in.
