Coinado – Cloud torrenting for command line fans
- Radle 11y ago"Strict no log policy" That's a great thing for many of us. But the price is quite high with 90$ (currently) per Terabyte. If the legal situation in your country allows you to download things like Movies, Computer Games and Software without legal consequences and your downloads are also available on a hosting site, you would be cheaper of this way. If you either depend on privacy or using torrents, this might be a great service for you.

- ikeboy 11y agoThe only new thing is command line. There are plenty of sites that offer this; see filestream.me, btcloud.io, zbigz.com, boxopus.com

- paulmd 11y agoYeah, too expensive. You can get competing services for about $10-15 per TB IIRC, they just have a set of Java utilities instead of the fancy Web 3.0 frontend.
- ProZsolt 11y agoBrowser version of Popcorn Time use it.
- Tepix 11y agoVery nice, they even make the torrents healthier by seeding: "We ensure that every torrent downloaded through Coinado is seeded to a ratio of 2 or up to 36 hours, whichever happens first."
- tiernano 11y agointeresting idea, but its currently slow... the demo url they give, you would expect to be fast... i got the first 1024k and its been waiting since... ETA started at 39 min, its now at over 12h... would definatly be interesting if it worked as expected, and maybe a little cheaper as @radle mentions, but interesting none the less...
- eli 11y agoSeems a bit like put.io. Companies that make money purely by supporting copyright fraud historically have faced a lot of problems, though.
- jermo 11y agoPut.io has a big advantage in that it streams the files to you via the browser. You don't need to download the whole file locally in order to watch it. If needed it even converts to mp4 and adds subtitles.

- sroerick 11y agoI've spent the last few months talking to artists, and I've managed to convince a B of people to release stuff into the creative commons. see: http://mercbay.com/#search/gendale http://mercbay.com/#search/gendale The films are now on BitTorrent, and all include both license information and BitCoin addresses where you can pay the artist. I'd like to use a service like this to provide streaming of these files. But I don't want to use a service that has a business model that relies on transferring copyrighted files. I wouldn't mind self hosting this, because the data transfer should be relatively low, and all the content would be legal. Does anybody have any input in this regard?
- IgorPartola 11y agoSelf host + CloudFlare in front of it? They don't limit your bandwidth and will cache what you have. Plus that way you don't have to explain to your potential users how to torrent. They likely already know how to use a browser.
- ben174 11y agoUnfortunately, hosting this on a single domain will give ISPs and sys admins a very easy target to block.
- tomc1985 11y agoWhy must everything be a cloud service? Also, I doubt this could be used with private trackers (if one values their account, anyway)
- sshamoon 11y agoAnyone have any issues with this on OS X? I get a `--content-disposition` not valid error
- chovy 11y agoIs the code on github?
