                          statistics came out in Taiwan.  It proved
                          that NCTUCCCA.edu.tw was a very popular
                          site in Taiwan with over 6G bytes transferred

Finally, I got a question: "I really do not have sense about how many
space should we keep if we intent to have a world Chinese collection
as complete as possible"?

Thank you.

Happy Chinese New Year!
