Re: Put.io
#32This seems like a slightly worse seedbox marketed towards people who haven't heard of seedboxes.
put.io does have some interesting features in my opinion. One of them being that it will convert any video to mp4 which I can then stream directly to my Apple TV. They also allow for external subtitle tracks to be added and again, it works with the Apple TV (something that other alternatives were never able to do). Also, judging by the percentage of torrents I add on put.io that are instantly completed, I guess they…
What kinds of "Videos" are we talking about here?
Is it ok to download these """Videos""" there? Because it doesn't look like it is.

#33What we could use is a secure cloud like freenet, which:
1) Converts and transcodes files on the client
2) Encrypts them on the client, has diffs and versioning with git
3) Stores encrypted versions in a distributed manner on many servers
4) Uses bitcoins to pay for all the bandwidth, storage
5) Is an autonomous corporation that can't be shut down
blabla
Maybe in a few years this will exist.

Re: Put.io
#35This is a really cool idea, but I'd like a bit more storage, and less cost, before I sign up. If I could get 3TB for $15/mo, I'd be there. 3TB drives can be had for $120, and I'd like my cloud storage to be competitively priced. Offloading my torrent collection into the cloud sounds like a great step forward, but not if it results in me paying more.
Amazon's S3, which presumably has scale advantages over put.io, charges $80/TB/month just for storage. put.io charges only 60% of that with data transfer included. Based on that, I doubt your wishes will come true any time soon.
S3 is one of the most expensive ways to store and transfer stuff though. Not to say the original poster could find that pricing, but if S3 is your benchmark you can save a lot of money.

#36Sounds similar to https://www.streem.com/ but with less focus on video?

What do you mean by """""Videos"""""?

How do you stream to an Apple TV? Are you just AirPlay mirroring from you laptop's browser?

Through iTunes or I use an app called Beamer which lets you beam any kind of video file super easily.
