as some users already may have noticed all BIG downloads are currently unavailable for download (think of GPL stuff)
I want to reduce bandwidth, but to reduce bandwidth use I have to make downloads unavailable which can be bad sometimes..
I would like to hear everyone's opinion on this
Personally, I hate to pay for something like fast downloads if I can get it somewhere else for free. Even if it means I'll have to wait longer. I don't even register on the big download sites to get faster downloads. So, I voted 'No, I'll use the Asus sites'.
What we could do is starting a distributed FTP site where several users donate some bandwith and HD space to mirror the larger files. I know there are FTP servers available who will allow this (one central server with several auxilliary servers processing the requests). But stupid-ftp will certainly/definately/utterly/totally not do this :rolleyes: But, I guess, this will not happen as it will be too hard to organise.
Isn't there some sophisticated download system where you can specify how much traffic a certain user can generate in a month? This could mean that if someone wants to download something it will be fast, but if he does it often his dowload speed will be slower?
Just a few thoughts :o
No,
but i have got another solution for you :) You've got a pm from me.
Hi
No, i dont think i would pay for downloads.
Set up a BT Tracker and let it go ...

No,
But I am willing to contribute the forum site.
What do you consider "large downloads"?
For most things below 10 - 20 MB 5 Kb/s does not really make me happy but it's also not a major problem.

No, but I would gladly donate a smaller sum because I got so many useful information from this site, and I like Oleg's 'easy-compile and make patches'.
Is there a Donate button? I don't see it anywhere :-(
