Which method do you think would be better: Continue with a pooled quota with donations or individual pay per download approach?


Right now there is one common quota shared by all and a single donation address which adds to the pool.

Edit: added a poll.

Would the owner of 1G26Gk7GKM18NRCeAXVaBS7CsZVtVnTi4y shoot me a PM I haven't gotten around to actually implementing payments and would like to make sure you get your download going.
User reached out to me via PM and situation is resolved


And yes...

This is really cool.

Haven't seen something like this before.
https://put.io has been around for ages.

I doubt that allows to be paid by bitcoins either. You don't want the feds to be tailing your illegal downloads.

If you only had just visited the site once, you would've noticed this little "hint":




Don't worry,  he wasn't serious.  Just padding his post count for the sig campaign. If he were truly interested he would have visited both sites to see which one would work for him.

Yes, but put.io is a monthly subscription seedbox/dropbox/cloud solution whereas the goal here is for the casual user who wants to download the odd torrent here or there and cant justify a monthly subscription.



Well put.io was free for quite a while, and I'm sure you're aware in order to keep this project running money does have to come from somewhere, bandwidth and data storage cost money and the more users you'll get the more expenses you'll have, so eventually I believe you would need to either run ads or charge for subscriptions, or fund it from your own pocket and suffer the loses.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to poop on your thread, in fact I commending you for running this kind of service.
Yes of course it will be monetized shortly, it's only free while I'm working on it, next step is running on testnet coins.

However the service will not be subscription based but rather mor ealong the lines of bitfetch.com

You add a torrent
We download the files
You pay 0.001 BTC for every GB (final price not decided yet)
You're ready to download a zip file

In this way you only pay for what you use rather than a subscription.

How long does it take to unpack a torrent at the moment?

Does it depend on our dl speed or yours? 

Or the seeds? 
The primary bottleneck will be your download speed however I've had one user report achieving 10MB/s down

Second is the quantity and quality of the seeds since they will impact how lo g it takes for us to get the files to zip up and send your way.

I'd honestly love to see the price being pegged to the USD.
I'd pay 20 cent per GB, give or take.

That price would be perfect for me too. I used to use Boxopus for this. Being able to pay with bitcoin would be a great option.
