Hi All,
There has been some discussion regarding hosting of Dutty's ROM's since bandwidth usage has become an issue. Lots have people have jumped in offering to host files, which is great!
Between all of us who benefit from this site, and the hard work of all the chefs, we should set up a file mirroring service?
I'm actually in the hosting industry, and can contribute quite a bit to this, however it's would certainly be better to have as many servers sharing the load as possible.
Just Kaiser CAB's and ROM's to begin with, until we get an ideal of bandwidth usage.
I'm happy to set it all up, and work with others who are willing to help.
I'd suggest we have one master server where chefs can upload their files. Each night at 1am we can rsync files out to all the other servers.
I have a nice script that will dish out encoded download URL's evenly so load gets shared out across all servers.
What do you think?
Potential Mirrors:
mattpark- Most London DC's, Databanx Newcastle, plenty of bandwidth
jagofulford - Uk based (docklands), 100Mb/s Connection, 10Tb Bandwidth per month
Once I have worthy list, I'll get about setting all this up, and will PM those who have expressed an interest.
Any chef's out there who would like to register their interest in uploading their files to a mirror PM me.
Cheers,
Matt
This sounds like a fantastic idea to host all the ROMs in one location, and hopefully ease any burden on cooks distributing their good work. While I can't cook a ROM, I can offer hosting:
Uk based (docklands), 100Mb/s Connection, 10Tb Bandwidth per month
I hope this is of some use, PM me if it's required.

Awesome.
I'm in multiple DC's with a wide range of kit and connectivity.
I'll start a list for easy reference.
Moved it up to post number 2-------^
Few more mirrors needed before this takes off...?
Apologies if this is not the right place to ask but....
I am considering getting an HTC Diamond Touch and I am on O2. Their "unlimited" data plan has a fair usage policy of 200Mb per month. Is this enough? I intend using push email, my personal IMAP email (with regular polling) and some web browsing, perhaps the odd bit of YouTube etc etc.
Also, if I am connected to my WiFi router at home and browsing the web, I assume that O2 dont know anything about that and it does not form part of the 200Mb.
Thanks
wifi does NOT count towards fair use.
youtube in any considerable amount will easily amount to over 200mb. Depending on the type and scope of the email you're getting as well as the content of the websites you're visiting, you may very easily surpass 200mb.
try installing a data counter for a month and see how much you use.
You should be greater.
Hi there!
I currently have some bandwidth left and I think it can be useful for some developers out there.
It is being hosted on a Linux server and files are backed-up weekly.
1 GB space
Unlimited bandwidth
FTP credentials
Ad-Free and nothing asked in return.
Just reply if you want it and I'll decide who gets it.
If anyone has low upload speeds to their filehosting or such, or they cannot be bothered keeping up two mirrors of their roms, I'm offering to maintain mirrors for any rom on my mediafire, meaning it uses my bandwidth and my accounts limit, having a mirror means possibly higher speed downloads to certain people. If needed, email me at [email protected]
(Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'll take a chance)
Hey Guyz,
I'm willing to provide a good amount of space on an FTP server that I own. I would like volunteers to help me make a backup of some data.
The only issue I have here is a very very slow UPLOAD SPEED.
I need people with a farily good amount of UP SPEED to help me setup the Server
