Moving games to an online backup service
« on: January 17, 2012, 11:00:34 pm »
I am contemplating setting up an account for file storage for the games and files that are currently (and will be) hosted on this site's server.  I have had many complaints that downloading from som.com is riddled with speed issues and failed attempts. 

I know google offers a service for direct public links as well as drop box.  At this point I believe they both have somewhat limited storage capacity however you can upgrade to a pro account for $ that should do what we need.

Any thoughts on whether this would be a good idea?  I have used dropbox with nothing but success in the past.

let me know if you have any alternatives...and I am not interested in any service like megaupload or fileshare.com where they bombard the users with spam and pop up windows.

I'm not sure whether you're hosting this site on your own server or a web hotel, but if there are bandwith problems, how about moving the whole thing to another server/web hotel? Or, you know, just set up an extra web hotel for file downloads? :)
