Crazy bandwidth prices So one day last week I saw 10Gig of OasisVM downloads. That was a high water mark, but got me thinking about how to handle ~300G/mo if things kept going up. I know bitTorrent swarmed downloads are the way to go, but I found out that for the $10/mo I was paying pair.com to upgrade to the 100G/mo tier, I could pay dreamhost for 1 *Terabyte*/month b/w(!) I needed some direct download capacity for the torrent-impaired, plus dreamhost accounts have a number of other features that make them a better place than pair.com for me to host my friend's domains and serve read/write version control repositories (darcs/svn/svk) to clients So I signed up. Lucky for me, dreamhost did not read "The Economics of Online Storage". 11:01:42 AM      comment []  trackback []
