So, it's quite cheap to get a seeding box from LeaseWeb, in ascending levels of sophistication:
* 100mbps unmetered 2x2tb 39 eur/mo
* 1gbps unmetered 24x2tb 349 eur/mo
* 10gbps unmetered 24x2tb 1089 eur/mo
I'm tempted to grab the first, and open a GitTip account in case anyone wants to chip in towards the second (4tb isn't a lot of space as far as this stuff goes). The third is unlikely to be useful; this stuff is long tail by its nature, so storage is probably more important.
Though in a world containing Google Fiber, would it still be a valuable service?
There's a university box seeding the torrent I'm grabbing (2011 weather patterns), but it still seems to be going quite slowly.
$50/month for a side project that I want to grow and nurture isn't a lot by any stretch, even on a gTA stipend. Given that you could subsidize it through your program, it becomes even cheaper
