Consider if each username is an average 10 bytes. You have 520,000,000

That's a strongly conservative terrabyte of data that you would have to
download once a day and reconcile against the previous day. A terrabyte
of just usernames.
1 billion bytes = 1 gigabyte, not 1 terabyte. 1 GB/day is significant,
but not intractable.
