This is very OT, but maybe I can finde some suggestions here. |

I've got a gentoo server running on a VPS from linode |
| 4 |
http://www.linode.com/ . I'm using the basic plan (linode 360) and I'm |
| 5 |
happy with that. |
| 6 |
The plan gives me 16gb storage that is enough for the webserver to work |
| 7 |
and to store a lot user documents (PDF mostly) in the site. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Now an user asked me to store online his bibliography that it's about |
| 10 |
96gb and growing. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
A realtively cheap solution would be to store at home his documents |
| 13 |
(well protected and backupped), on a dedicated nas. The matter is that |
| 14 |
my isp doesn't give me a lot of upload bandiwidth (while I can download |
| 15 |
more than 1mb/s I can't upload more than 50k/s). This might become kinda |
| 16 |
annoying if the user is on the other side of the world and wants to show |
| 17 |
to a collegue a 190mb pdf. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I could also upgrade my linode to a linode 2880, that would give me |
| 20 |
enough space (128GB instead of 16) but will also cost me much more |
| 21 |
($159.95 per month instaed of $19.95). This is due to the fact that they |
| 22 |
will also increase my ram and data transfer (that I don't need). |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Is anyone aware of a off site storage solution that could satisfay my |
| 25 |
needs? |
| 26 |

Thank you in advance and sorry for the OT |
