we don't have the bandwidth available that r2.co.nz do.
See www.coralcdn.net about that – a sort of Poor Man’s Akamai. It’s a free P2P caching system anyone can use. Just append .nyud.net:8090 to the hostname of a URL and it works. No setup, no signup, no nothing. The only condition is that they can only cache content that lives on a HTTP server listening on port 80 (ie non-standard ports or things like HTTPS or streaming protocols don’t work). They have about 260 peers all over the world right now. One concern for NZers is possibly that I don’t see a host in NZ on their map, though there is one in Australia. So it might all be int’l traffic or something. Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
