I'm curious about the total byte size of all HN content.

The mirror I keep of all HN items (posts, comments, jobs, polls, etc.) in JSON format is at 5.32GB uncompressed.

Cool! Did you mirror everything from the API? Does it go back to the first test posts or whatever? :)

Yeah, it came from the API which goes back to item id 1. It's all here if you are interested: http://silo.lukeheuer.com/mirrors/news.ycombinator.com/ Post items are organized by month so you can check out the byte size progression over HN's lifespan.
