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 :)
 
oh that's good
i'm looking into providing a mirror for the vids, but it might not be possible
 
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. :(
 
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?
how many ppl visit and DL from your site? u can email or pm me
 
A few million zillion gig's a day, or close to that.
 
Yeah, that's fine, as long as they don't cap the BitTorrent packets.

oc48 is INSANE
Perhaps, but think of how many people it's split among. But yes, it's pretty fast. :)
 
yes of course u're right we have a lot of ppl but when i first found
out i was just amazed =]
 
Any bandwidth limits (how much per day/month)?
