Who is this post aimed at?
1. Someone who has a 3 Gig or less account, but wants to download much, much more.
2. Someone who has local only, but wants something from international.
3. Someone who can't afford to seed back what the leech.
Here's 'The Plan'.
1. You give me the torrent you want downloaded.
2. I download it, write it to dvd, and courier it to you.
3. A fee is charged up front on a 'per gig' rate.
That's the simple explanation of what happens. There are obviously much more details that I could go in to if anyone wants to hear them.
I would like input from this community on the following subjects:
1. Would you use such a service?
2. Is it legal/How illegal is this?
3. How much would you pay per gig?
Who I don't want to hear from:
1. People who already have their own uncapped accounts.
2. People who are going to dismiss the idea based on the fact that this is my 'first' post.
Please take the following into account:
Based on Axxess' prices, 1 Gig is going to cost R60 (rounded from R59). I am proposing paying R20 per gig. This would include the cost of the dvd(s) and courier cost (still not sure if this is feasible).
All dvd's have inherent flaws. To minimize the risk, all content will be 7zipped(using a password supplied by the client) and par2'ed before being written to disk. This will ensure that the contents are secure and retrievable barring total disk failure.
