Don't forget that although when talking about space on a computer or internet it is easy to think of that space as "virtual" or "theoretical" in terms of nonexistent in the physical world. But there is a space for it as hard-drives use magnetic storage ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive#Magnetic_recording ) where binary data is stored in spaces nano-meters in size. Plus then the physical size of the assembled hard-drive unit. The wiki.answers article goes over a section about the size.

Also the internet infrastructure is not meant to handle today's load:

It's unlimited! (provided we have unlimited servers)

'Bout that big.

I would say the internet is never ending, probably because there is so much stuff that goes into it every single day.

People, the internet is very very large, but it has it's limits. Just read some of the earlier posts.

As big as a KFC Family Bucket. lol

Just not as greasy. And I don't think it tastes as good. lol

1,000,000,000,000,000,000 = 1 Exabyte? :O
