Show you how many copies of a file exists, and how quickly a file uploaded to them becomes redundant.
If I could search YC I'd point back to an earlier discussion we had on S3. One of the points that came up was how do you know when your uploaded file is "safe", i.e. not when the upload has finished but when all N copies exist so you can go back to your user and say "fear not". A simple fetch of it is insufficient; S3 is selling itself on its redundancy so it needs to prove it. Anyone know of a way to do this?
- bootload 19y agoIt could be added very quickly adding a static textbox... eg: http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fnews.ycombinator.com+S3+uploaded+file+safe http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fnews.ycombinator.com+S3+uploaded+file+safe for example. "... how do you know when your uploaded file is 'safe'? ..." don't know. might have to find this out.
