It goes without saying that self hosting uses a lot of bandwidth. But I’m curious… how much do y’all use? Post your stats!

    And what would those “multiple reasons” be? Where is OP storing 400TB worth of downloads?

      Why would you put it in "? Do you think those are not going to be really and/or multiple?

      We are talking about a monthly average upload of something like 100 Mbit/s, which of worth about constantly streaming 2 movies at 50 G. The peaks during prime time are multiples of that, realistically exceeding 1 GB/s, since most people stream evening/night. Then he would need to be streaming tons of movies, making him a prime target for a big lawsuit. Instead, if he just downloads and seeds some files, you get a near constant throughput. Linux, Tor node, or some mixture of all of that. But not a streaming service for a dozens of people.
