New file-sharing service
0
As a long Fakku! user, not on this account :) truth. I over the years noticed that links have tendency to die out. Majority die because they are deleted by MF, MU, BT, FS and others.
Most of the time link's on the Translators sites are dead as well. This is quite often for older titles.
In any even, for a while now I was wondering if Fakku! members would like to use a privately owned file-sharing service. Not as pretty as MF or Minus, User Interface wise, but simple enough to load in IE6 :).
The service uses no accounts or login's, so its pretty much any user can upload type of service. Translators group are assigned a unique 6 digit pin, which has there uploads added to public directory of that group and in the same time marks it as From Trusted source.
Unlike MF, I don't give a shit what's hosted. Nor do I bother to keep track of anything. Especially IP's. The IP's are removed every day on the server access level as well, assuring up-most anonymity to both uploaders, visitors and downloaders. There is no-parallel download limit, other then 45sec wait. The file's are stored truth out the world and delivered via CDN, to be exact the file's are stored in places like Sweden, Poland, Germany, Honk Kong and Russia. The site including download links and everything else is encrypted with standard 125bit SSL. The servers are powered by Virtual Windows Servers, with EMC type hard drives. CDN files are stored on 10k RPM hard drives.
If such service would to be available, would you Fakku! comrades use it?

I see potential, but it doesn't sound free. You just happen to have a server lying around? And what about it's traffic strength? Do you think it could handle the influx of users from here and more?

Do you think it could handle the influx of users from here and more?As a matter of fact yes :). No its free other then ads, I do own 2 dedicated servers. And will use cdn mirrors to balance the traffic.
Now in regards to files there served over cdn's and are stored on Amazon S3 servers and S3 like. Files are stored in data centers located outside USA, ex: Japan, France and others

@NO-ID, go for it, if you got the resources, time and can sustain the system for year's to come then others will use it. I don't personally like Ad's but I understand this will be you're only source of income to pay for the operation cost. Even so you should consider some Premium features that don't cost more then a cup of large coffee $2, then that may sustain the system for a while. Hope this helped out and looking forward to the idea;
