So what could we have ? 1x Intel® Xeon® E3 1220 v2 16 Go DDR3 ECC 2x 1 To SATA bandwidth up to 1 Gbit/s minimum bandwidth guaranted 150 Mbit/s illimited traffic
This should handle a good fraction of the initial onslaught (~400 Mbit/s?). And it should be sufficient after the first month.
other point, we are really ready to pay for this if need and would we proud of it. But during LGM we were wondering how to use inkscape donations. Couldn't it be used for that (personnal i'd prefer use inkscape money to pay developers, of course).
I think this is something that would be a valid use of Inkscape donations. What would be the cost?
for this solution: it's about 500 euros / year. there another one wth quaranted 400Mbit/s at about 1000 euros/year I guess the most of the cost will be the administration service. I'm in discussion with jazzynico who already administrate our flossmanualsfr.net server.
Another possibility is that my Internet provider (free.fr) offers a free download service for large files. I have never tried it. They advertise:
Maximum file size: 10 GBytes Unlimited number of files Unlimited downloads Files retained for 30 days after last download.
which one ? dl.free.fr ? The problem might be bandwidth. There's no informations about it.
