Fourteen other people were detained and then released pending further investigation, police added in a statement. Some 100 hard discs and more than 480,000 photographs and videos were seized in the raids.
Most of those detained were described as middle class men. Police raids in nine regions followed an investigation which began in July after a tip-off by a computer user who accidentally downloaded one of the files.
Specialist investigators tracked down the group using a search tool, "Hispalis," which detects the names and addresses of people connecting to illicit child porn sites.
