    Let's see, they say unlimited BW for $10/yr

    The catch? In their faq it says they're colocated in somebody else's farm on a 10mbps pipe. 10 MEGABITS per second.

    My internet is faster than that for god's sake.

    If they have more than 10-15 total users concurrently downloading for *all* their customers, then they're screwed.

    Anyone actually have a large site hosted there with files > 500MB?

    read the TOS

    its 10% CPU usage of a 2.4GHz thing (meaning dont have a lot of traffic to your site)

    its really about 30 gigs of bandwith and 3 gigs of space, still not bad, but not good either.

    thats about what I had when it was shut down (so rudely for someone elses idiotic mistake)

    Eh? How much "CPU resources" does a download (or upload, from the server's point of view) take?
