I can suggest sharing files via torrent. Technically you'd have to upload a lot less since a lot of data will be transferred between people downloading.
I haven't tried that yet for these reasons: I don't want to upload from my desktop, so I still need a VPS. I don't expect many simultaneous downloads, so most of the uploads will still come from me. Every update will make an existing torrent useless again (and I don't want to keep posting new magnet links).
Linux question
what is the benefit of two directional syntax -
cat <(gunzip -c addresses_sorted.txt.gz) > secondgunzip
instead of just
gunzip addresses_sorted.txt.gz
or
gunzip -c addresses_sorted.txt.gz > out.txt
?
I was isolating a part from the longer code:
This:
<(gunzip -c addresses_sorted.txt.gz)
Came from:
....t -f2) <(comm -13 <(gunzip -c addresses_sorted.txt.gz) <(s....
I didn't edit it so it's clear where it came from.
or another exmple:
Same reason
I am now pretty sure the inconsistent results were caused by using
sort S, --buffer-size=SIZE. I was trying to be smart enforcing efficient memory usage, but I now believe this sometimes showed an error, which was then piped into the next command. If I omit the
-S40% part, it works fine. This is actually good news, because it's much faster than my previous method.
