This is a good idea and reminds me of when gmail came out somebody had a similar thing. Each email had a max file size and you could back up in small chunks consisting of emails, since gmail gave so much room. Dropbox only gives 2GB but that's undoubtedly going to hit 5, 10, 50 soon enough, and there are other providers. A decade ago your idea would have been killerHowever, I was, for a bit, working on a usenet data backup program. It would take your files compress, encrypt, PAR and then upload to usenet, as a ghetto cloud backup system. Just remember what you called the files and what the password was.
I used it a couple of times to broadcast a bunch of home movies to friends, where the file sizes were excessive for a drop-box, and various people had unreliable connections and were finding it difficult to download.
I just bought a 250GB block of Tweaknews to go with Astra. I'm in heaven.
For anyone interested, NZB MegasearcH is a great way to get all of your indexers in to one easy to search place.

A lot of people are setting it up in Openshift. There's a link to the instructions on that Reddit thread.
I've got a couple of friends that set it up a few weeks ago and they're pretty happy with it. The best part is you can point all of your programs to just your megasearch install and then update your indicies there instead of in each individual program.

Yup, its a great backup server for the American providers.
If you sign up for the trial 10GB and use it all, they send you a great coupon for 250gb at the end of the trial.
What kind of content do you download ?

Movies, music, porn.
Usenet kinda sucks for music. Though it is ok.
Works for me *shrug* I find most everything Im looking for.
Yup, thats what I did. Got it for $14 and some change.
Wonder what kind of program the NSA has for tracking NZB's...
Do you know how long they will be doing this for?
No, but AFAIK, TN have been offering this trial for years.
When you get close to the limit they send you an email about the $14 deal.
Its actually $14.54 and I had to pay an extra dollar to my bank because of the international transation.
BTW, I HAVE AN INVITE FOR NZBS.IN If anyone needs a good indexer. I'm willing to share, no monkey business with the invite or we will both get a spanking
I'm kind of reluctant to give the invite to you since you Pmed me asking "What is it for?".
Its right there in the post. I'm only going to give it to someone who actually needs an indexer, cause its hard to find a good one...and seeing as you seem to have a source for all things...including cracked copies of SimCity 5. I don't think you need it.
So why are you asking for an invite? Jerk.
vshah, its yours.
I need an email to send it to. So PM me when you have a chance.
