I agree! Unfortunately, I just don't have the storage space right now. Hopefully, I can get sponsorship or contributions to pay for the kind of storing I would need. Right now, I just want to get my community off the ground, and I'm working with what I have.
Maybe I should go with a minimum of 100 KB/sec for now. I believe I can just write my .liq scripts in such a way as to ensure an infallible fallback and make that fallback a small playlist of local files rather than one file (how do I do that, by the way?)
