that's strange, quite a few other alternatives have been posited in this thread. its good of you to trun up as the ultimate arbiter of what is and isnt viable, though.izonin wrote:24/7 comes as the only alternative to paying for a dedicated server.
better than the only two you seem to acknowledge (whilst judiciously ignoring Sascha Frank's points) or better than some of the others in this thread?do you have a better suggestion for sharing with a large number of people?

I like these plans that say there is no bandwidth limit or no hard cap, and then they have an automated system to detect abuse. How do you suppose those systems detect abuse? Maybe when a certain hard bandwidth cap is exceeded. But instead of just manning up and telling you what you have to work with, they call it unlimited until you go and hit the limit...

better than these two. i'm not trying to force anyone to keep their computers on night and day. just sharing my opinion. and i'm interested in hearing yours.whyterabbyt wrote:that's strange, quite a few other alternatives have been posited in this thread. its good of you to trun up as the ultimate arbiter of what is and isnt viable, though.izonin wrote:24/7 comes as the only alternative to paying for a dedicated server.

Sasha Frank's points were against ftp, not torrents.

What a nonsense.izonin wrote: if you have quality content to share the least you can do is to leave your machine running 24/7.
This thread is about sharing free samples. And the very last thing I want to do is to host whatever freebies straight from my machine.

Torrents. As easy as that. Just that the clients I know are CPU hogs of special sorts.izonin wrote:24/7 comes as the only alternative to paying for a dedicated server. do you have a better suggestion for sharing with a large number of people?

now that you say this for the second time, i start to believe that this is the case on your machine. however, i believe it's some exception. these clients don't do any computation and don't use any cycles. the typical cpu load is little to none.Sascha Franck wrote: Torrents.

as for the freebies, some people asked about sharing huge files with hundreds and thousands of other musicians. that would cost $$$ if you do it the traditional way, paying for hosting services.

You seem to have absolutely no idea of what you're talking about.

Microsoft SkyDrive is free with 25 GB of storage. I couldn't find it in the terms, but dude here http://www.astahost.com/info.php/how-ge ... 92-10.html says the bandwidth is unlimited. With public folders even those without a Windows Live ID can access files. Best solution so far?

i think we should support formats that can be used with the powerful and free Shortcircuit Sampler! there are too many great free sample banks out there in formats which are not usable to the freeware community!
