I'm not sure what the bandwidth requirements for the site will be, but I have a basic Hostgator account that I'll gladly donate bandwidth from. I registered it so I could share pictures with my friends and it gets very little traffic. I wouldn't mind hosting the files at all. The total bandwidth is advertised as 3000gb/month. But there's a cpu restriction in place where I can't use more than 25% of the server resource for more than 90 seconds. So I hear it's very hard to actually go over the bandwidth limit. You get your site suspended for cpu overusage long before that.
I'm sure that's far less than you'd need and I won't be offended if my offer is refused :p Cheers Cii On 6-Jun-08, at 9:32 PM, Youness Alaoui wrote: > or... we could have them hosted on amsn-project.net > temporarly and have a small script that runs once a day > and uploads the file to upload.sf.net and emails amsn-devel > for every file that wasn't yet 'sourceforge-ized'. > Would be much easier and more importantly better for the > users than having to do rapidshare.. wait 30 seconds.. then > wait 1 minute.. then wait 15 minutes for a second > file download... > Especially if users want to try out multiple > skins/plugins, which will probably be the case for 90% of > the people visiting the site... > > KaKaRoTo > > On Fri, Jun 06, 2008 at 06:38:46PM +0100, Tom Hennigan wrote: >> It would be authenticated of course, we'd need an accounts system, >> and >> some administrative control for moderators to be able to clean up/ >> remove spam. >> About the hosting, I'm not sure.
