100TB a month challenge

[drmike]

The new crazy VPS offer bar is 100TB a month.

Group contribution / mind pooling here.   How do you think would be best way / most likely to consume 100TB a month.  

Rules are no downloading 10GB size file repetitively.   No hosting anything that would get you a DMCA slap.   

Have to be cognizant of the CPU limits.   50% CPU usage vs. 4 cores.

Ideas?

Why not do this on a GVH $5 VPS and see Jon's feedback?

Only Buffalo available....  why is that always the story?  Like an endless well in Buffalo.

Maybe they have too much bandwidth overage bills in other locations? lol.

BTW: Try to pay using a credit card, and see who owns the credit card processor

Porn.

@joepie91 your video must have used 50 TB by now, right?  :lol:

Varnish cache for vpsboard for not logged in users. Or be a mirror for some open source movies:

Looked through their ToS, we can host minecraft but no video encoding, file sharing, porn, etc.

Minecraft, anyone?

I see no reason not to do that... That's what it is sold for.

The file sharing part is:

File Hosting Sites  --- which is unduly vague.  Isn't every website by definition hosting files?

"Copyrighted Material that does not belong to you" - that's another gotcha - obvious one there.  Isn't possession 9/10th's of the law ?

Pornography is covered in first two points. "Child Pornography" "Adult Pornography".... I do note it seems to miss teenage pornography, senior pornography, and pornography other sorts.

Backup & Personal Storage

GreenValueHost permits the use of all allocated disk space for backup storage and personal storage on VPS AND DEDICATED SERVER HOSTING SERVICES ONLY as long as the content is legal and the user uploading the content to their account has permission and full rights to use it. Users may NOT run any file hosting/sharing services; doing so will result in immediate termination of your account with or without notice. Disk Space on Shared and Reseller Hosting services may not be used for backup storage and can only be used for files related to the website(s) being hosted on the shared/reseller account.

We can also WGET 1/10GB speed test files, fill the 250GB disk space and use the 100TB bandwidth.

Copyright materials not allowed, what about copyleft materials as stated in GentooPlayLicense v3?

Or Furry/Pony pornography?

Honestly, this is the most practical one. I suspect it doesn't use much on the CPU(compared to other ideas anyway), it is consistant, and probably doable as long as they don't start limiting you or whoever you are downloading it from freaks out and blocks you/removes the file.

All those ideas mun said are kinda it, and all of them take some time to "spin up" to the kind of BW levels we are talking. The apt-get cache/repo mirror one is probably one of the more likely to work ones, and you could easily pin it hard on x company if they pull it, something like "they don't support open software" or something. Kinda looks bad for them.

100TB/month is 300 megabits/sec 24/7.  Good luck with that.

That ban will probably be lifted when he's 18 and old enough to look at it...

We can have 3-4 VPS' running at full speed to max out their 1Gbps connection.
