Hello Hacker News, So you're sitting there in LA with a 400 gigabyte raw video file and you need to send it to a video editor in London the same day (For the techies: 1 Gbps in both locations). What are your options? You could use Drop

Just to be clear we are not just using the default Azure setup. We have our own proprietary TCP acceleration technology in use on the Azure network and have 9 servers globally enabling acceleration. This test just shows you regular upload

Torrenting requires software and seeders which means your throttled by the seeding parties internet connection. Torrenting can be a good option but you can run into port issues or for restrictive IT policies it can be blocked. ISP's f

Couldn't have summarized it better myself. I like to think we are just making cloud services more accessible for non-technical people and adding a tax to that. There is always ways to get something cheaper by rigging up a setup yourse

Absolutely agree. We really built our network out to be independent of our file transfer tool. It creates routes across any cloud provider and can integrate into any cloud storage provider. It also uses machine learning to determine which

We wanted to stand up a high performance service to start and took on extra cost to do so. We intend to continuously optimize our system to maintain that performance but access it through more affordable options. Even just being smarter a

Happy to. We are not using WebRTC. Uploads are accomplished by geo-locating the user to one of our 9 global servers closest to them then chunking the data and sending through multiple data channels using javascript in the browser. On the

For technically capable people there are certainly lot's of good options for sending lots of data fast. We are just trying to make a service that makes this more accessible and requires no setup. As a side note we are currently workin

I'm just the marketing guy :) but I will ask the engineer who wrote it and get back to you.

Exactly correct we are running on Azure also so it's slightly more expensive. The idea is eventually as we load the service with users our cost will come down and we can pass some of those saving on to our users. We have built out a n

The pricing includes 10 days of storage and the cost of the bandwidth. Today an upload can be downloaded many times but in the future we will be deploying download based billing which will charge you for the data downloaded. We are also wo

Sorry about that we will look into it right away. The engineers building the web app are much better then my website coding. We will try to reproduce the issue and get it fixed + let you know.

Absolutely we don't try to hide that information you can try out our file transfer calculator here https://www.masv.io/file-transfer-calculator/ - This compares MASV to shipping hard drives and uses real rates fro

You got it. In general you can send as much or as little as you need with MASV because it's pay-as-you-go which means you don't have to manage fixed storage and it scales up and down with your work. If you don't use it the

It depends on which service you compare us to but you could almost think of us as the WeTransfer for large video sharing. We don't have any file size limits, we retain full folder structures and create dynamic zips designed for each ta

Exactly correct.

by davehorne 8y ago
Just to clarify we will fill a 1 Gbps pipe but our servers are provisioned to do much more than 1 Gbps. If many users are uploading at the same time we scale up beyond 1 Gbps that's not our network bandwidth maximum.

Yes to the TCP acceleration. Our parent company LiveQoS is a networking technology company. We use our own TCP acceleration software to enable faster downloads across the clouds. Upload acceleration is handled through chunking and by hav

Hey! In terms of maxing out your bandwidth there are a few options. Aspera uses UDP which adds some overhead to the transfers and requires you to install plugins or software to connect both ends. The way we max out your bandwidth is by redu

A lot of why our users enjoy MASV is because it's dead simple to use for non-technical users. Not that syncthing is very hard but as a video pro dealing with clients the easier it is for them to just click a download button the more li

In terms of cost there are certainly cheaper ways to accomplish transfers. MASV is designed to be very fast and we have 9 servers across the world to enable transfers anywhere. If your doing local transfers your own file server is likely

Although we do chunk the upload and send the chunks in parallel to the server we do not at this point have the recover functionality implemented. We are able to recover from a disruption in internet connectivity with retry logic in javascri
