Deploying free album release

[shadow_man]

If anyone is interested - I managed to parse the webserver access logs through awstats and pull stats for the downloads.

Squirrel can share this data if he wishes, up to him - but it may be interesting to some to see just how much bandwidth a project like this can use. On the plus side awstats is quite handy for this type of thing, i've never used it before but it seems to do the job nicely - no complaints.

On Soundcloud we also have about 130 mixes (1.2 million plays, 50k downloads). Those must be pulling ridiculous amounts of data! We were considering moving away from SC to make our own platform but I don't think that's going to be viable.

That could actually be a cool project. Media streaming setup + redundancy across multiple hosts in order to ensure uptime / content delivery. Let me know if you consider it in the future - I may like to be involved.

Dropbox? Copy.com? Any other free cloud service.

It's not really that hard.

When you're moving around close to 400GB in 3 days it can be Dropbox would easily suspend your account for that type of traffic. He's actually pushing decent traffic through, a free service would ban you - look at the numbers. Even EC2 only allows 15GB free.
