I might up doing that but for now I'm just trying to gauge interest in it

Well, probably u r trying to do ur project from a noble perspective, but I'm giving it a look from devil's perspective. If I get a free system like this with unlimited upload/download option with no fare resource policy, I'd ask my friends to upload movies & games to it and I'll download it from here. Will u be able to pay for the BW from your advertisers money, when thousands of devils like me start showing love to your service ?

There is a little hidden agenda behind that. It will be fully unlimited no upload download caps at all just the maximum line speed. The idea is part 1 of 2 it will cost me short term hence why I'd like donations but long term I'll earn money from it as the data centres will be able to get large bandwidth amounts at cheaper price per gb , never know if it really gets going we might even reach infamouse T1 status

Would each "donation" entail a provided new login for the donor, or would everyone share the same login to FTP?

Like said above, unless there is a specific reason to use FTP, most would just go to a free file host.

What country is it in? An attraction would be to be able to upload shit most other file hosts wouldn't tolerate.

Which would essentially turn any legitimate users away.

Good point but if there was a demand for it then I would simply create 2 servers one for shady shit and 1 for more legit users
Most of you are asking why both, the main reason is I'm sick and tired of having pitiful limits on file sizes like 100- 500MB which makes uploading large files a pain in the ass
It would be located in the EU on very fast connections the server its self will be around 1TB to start with and when it starts to get full older files will deleted after 30 days and files that have a donation will last 60 or more days depending how popular it becomes

all free users get access to a public user and password but donations will have the option to have there own user and login

And if I manage to get a lot of customers I have an ability and contacts in enough data centres to make the likes of drop box connection look like there hosting on dial up...

Then why not simply create a "Larger" file host with larger limits. It would give you the right to control who accesses the data, and put security in place so other users could not simply view other users files.

Sure thing, I am sure you have "an ability" and more contacts than Amazon S3.

Drop box didn't have access to all of Amazon's s3. Yes its very powerful but what are the odds that Amazon will kick all users off there service just to accommodate drop box. I'd only need around 1 percent of Amazon's power to match and beat Dropbox

I don't see why anybody would use it over other options such as Mega, Box, or Dropbox. Maybe if you elaborate a little more there could be a reason.

Thinking about setting up a FTP server that's open to everyone. Would be able to access it via ftp and tor
Would ask for donations in btc, ltc, or a number of all coins.

Anyone interested in the idea of and free open ftp site that you donate to, files that have a donation will be the last to go as the drives fill up.

Just an idea for now but if there's interest I'll make it happen

I believe u can host it on - snip - ...for details, please check => - snip -

Advertising much? That is not even relevant to the thread.

Do u think a blunt DropBox hosting will bring in donation or serve any other purpose ? This requires a proper web hosting site where FTP is free for a customized product.

I'm lost as to what the point of it is. There are tons of free file hosts already. Is it just because it's easier to upload/download via FTP, or did you have another reason/purpose?

The idea is very good, I think this could work. I dont know how you can keep it 'free' trough only donations tho. It really depends if the users will pay

Possibly some users would store very large files but not pay anything. I think its better a system where you pay a small fee to upload a file.
