(hold my beer as I DDOS my own website by offering multi-gigabyte downloads on the HN front page ;-)

- marginalia_nu 3y agoI run outside of the cloud and have fixed costs so in that sense it's no prob :-)
- estebarb 3y agoWhy don't offer it only via BitTorrent?
- marginalia_nu 3y agoWell I mean I could, but it's easier and more convenient to just put them in a directory on the server than go through all the rigmarole of creating a torrent.
- gary_0 3y agoHey, that's an interesting idea for a side project: an easy way to serve a file via torrent. Maybe a commandline utility that uses WebSeeding so you don't need to run a torrent client? Hmm. (I did a quick `apt search` to see if something like that is already available, but didn't find anything.)
