Ask HN: Cheap High Bandwidth Solutions?
Relevant:http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3363104
I'm running into the same problem as this guy , but my game mods are only 50mb.
New releases get around a 150k downloads and run between 5-10TB a month in total. (for now)
There doesn't seem any well priced solutions between the 10TB - 100TB tiers.
Any suggestions?
- seanmccann 14y agoAmazon S3 has bit torrent support. Everybody would get reasonably fast downloads and your bandwidth bill should be fairly modest.

- benologist 14y agoWhat about putting Cloudflare over your site? They sit between you and the user so they request the files from you one or few times and then people download it from them. http://cloudflare.com/ http://cloudflare.com/ You could also just get a nice big bandwidth allowance, Hivelocity have really good prices. If you go to the network tab and change it to 20tb the server's still very cheap plus there's very cheap providers like hetzner.de in Europe. https://hivelocity.net/cart/configure/186e8ec5d1 https://hivelocity.net/cart/configure/186e8ec5d1
- unsquare 14y agoI've looked into Hivelocity before , but never noticed that option before , "100Mbps Unmetered (est. 33TB /mo)" that's spot on. Thank you , you made my day.
