Wanted: members willing to seed forum backup via bittorrent


The free bulk data hosting that I had up until a month or so ago is now gone. At the same time, each new forum backup grows larger. I think it is time to start distributing forum backups via bittorrent (other means too if anyone wants to offer it, but I can't right now).

I don't have a lot of upstream bandwidth on my home computer, so it is not the best seed machine. Are there members here who have good connectivity and a willingness to seed the forum backup? I would distribute a single copy to you for seeding and then everyone else who wants a copy could use bittorrent.

I use Vuze so I could download it and leave it there as a seed. My computer stays on most of the time so it should help a bit. Just PM me and let me know exactly what I need to do.

My upload speed is around 1.6 megabits/second. I can seed basically 24/7. I would be glad to help.

I can add appr. 1 Mbit/s upload speed. This would be available 24/7 as a service besides my website. Just U2U me if you want me to contribute with this.

We have a permanently live static IP connection and can seed from my pc with pleasure, I use U-torrent.

We can use my comcast lines too. I seed old jazz files all the time.

Wizzard, it looks like you have the highest upstream speed. I'm going to get the file to you and then additional seeders can provide further capacity and redundancy.

Rent a seedbox. I toyed with one last year, it cost me a few quid for 20gig of space and 100/1000mb connection (d/u)

I'm sure people will donate towards the cost of it.

Torrent has been sent to Povlerone, just waiting for his distribution ( I recommended putting the .torrent file on the ScienceMadness server )... Everything should be set up :)

Thanks Eliteforum, that's convenient for people who don't want to deal with bittorrent. Thanks also Wizzard for jumping in to distribute the backup. That would be 20% of my monthly site data transfer quota if I were hosting it myself!

followup: library and LANL hosting


I got such a great response to the bittorrent inquiry that I have to ask: who has good upstream speed, a static IP address, and can run a web server on an always-on machine? It could be a spare hosting account you have or even your home computer, if you happen to have the right arrangement with your ISP.

I ask because the public Sciencemadness library and LANL documents are going to exceed my data transfer quota. I've already disabled access to LANL PDFs, but the library volumes alone are costing me about 10 GB of data transfer per day. I think that together, the LANL and library documents would result in about 300-400 GB of data transfer per month. The disk space consumed by the combined collections is about 6 GB.

Let me know if you're willing and able to help. I would transfer a copy of all the data to you, verify that your web server was set up, then point the DNS entry for library.sciencemadness.org to your machine.

I can host it plus another other downloadable material on my hosting package. Should you want too.

Unmetered caps, so it'll never exceed my monthly quota!

Thanks Eliteforum. I have been spending less time on this site and more time on job hunting, but I'll try to get the content to you this week.

Sorry I'm late to the party! I own a dediserver/seedbox, I'll throw it up there. 24/7 gigbit forever.

I am currently away from home on holidays but I have a fibre optic connection at home with 80 Mb/s down, 20 Mb/s up. I can set up an old computer as a server.

Can't guarantee static IP.

I have a static IP address, but a rather slow connection 18Mb/sec download, 1.9Mb/sec upload speed. My PC is online almost 24/7 with a few hiccups every once in a while. I have an external hard drive with 430GB of free space, I'm thinking it could be an asset for storing large files, but perhaps not as useful for hosting the forum.

I'm not much of a computer person, but I'd appreciate a PM if anyone is interested. I'd be glad to help out in any way I can.
