more on Torrents

bahnstormer · January 5th, 2004, 07:30 PM

torrents are GREAT way to get bandwidth off of your site,
but they SUCK in that my poopy aDSL connection uploads
at a max of 16kbytes/sec but it downloads at a decent
200kbytes/sec. so BT limits your DL based on your upload
rates..rrrrr....

i'd love maybe a $5-10 fee for say a year's worth of FTP
access

Well there will be http downloads but it will be avaialble 1 week after the torrents to encourage ppl to use torrents and keep Viper's bandwidth costs as low as possible images/smilies/smile.gif

oh that's good
i'm looking into providing a mirror for the vids, but it might not be possible

Viper007Bond · January 7th, 2004, 06:11 AM

Yeah, none of the videos will be on my server (don't have the bandwidth) and they'll be on a server provided by http://www.hosting.ca/ however, at the moment, there is a user limit (to keep speeds high), so many are getting a denied error. I'm going to see if I can get him to switch to like 100 users or something, but we'd end up with Racing Flix speeds. images/smilies/sad.gif

i have a student account at my university and they might not
notice if i host the vids for u....what sort of DL rates do u get?

Viper007Bond · January 8th, 2004, 06:37 AM

A few million zillion gig's a day, or close to that.

bahnstormer · January 10th, 2004, 02:14 AM

my university has an oc48 connection, is that fast enough?

Viper007Bond · January 10th, 2004, 06:34 AM

Yeah, that's fine, as long as they don't cap the BitTorrent packets.

bahnstormer · January 11th, 2004, 06:51 PM

Perhaps, but think of how many people it's split among. But yes, it's pretty fast. images/smilies/smile.gif
