Trivial.
Now ask: how hard would it be to pay the bandwidth charges, assuming it were a public bucket. I don't know the answer, but it's a much more interesting question.
- cordite 12y agoI am guessing with Amazon, even though they run Java, they wouldn't do it out of the good of their hearts.
- pjlegato 12y agoYes, a very interesting question. It'd be very expensive. It occurs to me that BitTorrent technically solved the problem of high bandwidth costs long ago; millions of people transfer 1.1TB files around every day without worrying about bandwidth costs at all. Can we come up with a similar system for jars? Why are we still relying on central servers for this at all?
