I'd still like to hear Janne tell us how much b/w he figures it's been taking. The subscription idea is a good one, but I bet you'd see interest dry up if there was money involved. Plus, Eurosport might not be too happy about someone charging others to view pirated copies of their shows. Basically, someone has to do it for free, or it won't work. RIP. Heck, I'd be happy to pay Eurosport a reasonable amount to get access to this stuff. They could put it on their website and save Janne all the work, plus get paid for access to it. -Mitch |

I think we would all be happy to chip in to continue this great
resource, but there is that sticky issue of legality? Nathan www.nsavage.com "xsergei" wrote in message ... The problem is, you can only take advantage of this cheapness if you already own a co-located server. Most ISP-owned servers have 100 - 200 GB drives. Having spent about 10 minutes looking, I see that one could rent a dedicated server with 120 GB disk and 1000 GB monthly bandwidth for $150 a month. That's $1800 a year. Is there enough interest to subsidize this kind of investment? I do think there could be 100 potential subscribers out there at $18 a year (or even 50 at $36 a year, though that's starting to get expensive), but with that many users, we might start running into the 1000 GB monthly limit. For comparison, 200 GB disk and 2000 GB bandwidth per month from the same provider is $3000 a year. Another option is to build out a server ourselves, which could run about $1000 - $1500 for what we need (single proc, 250 gb disk, fairly cheap processor) and then co-locate it with some provider. I don't know what the monthly fees run for co-location yet. -Sergei "sknyski" wrote in message oups.com... I imagine that the storage itself is pretty cheap (I just bought a 200gb drive at fry's for under $100) but the pipe that you would need would break you financially..... bt |

My son, the network engineer, tells me that this could all be set up for
rather less than we've been discussing. One clear option would be to offer the current season's races on line, and the archives for the cost of a CD and shipping. I think it can be done. As for the legalities . . . It really depends on Eurosport's (or whoever the original content comes from) attitude, and the laws in place in the country in which the server is located. If we get further along this road, I will ask our IP professor about that. One other option, of course, is to ask the content providor to provide the service for a modest fee (overly optomistic?). Given Gene's latest note, however, I think we should wait a little while to see what's up. -Ken Original Message: ----------------- From: Nathan Schultz Date: Sun, 5 Jun 2005 23:03:14 -0500 (CDT) To: Subject: Mpeg Races hit the end of the road?
