For backups Backblaze is even cheaper, but I could see the advantage in using it as data storage and duplicating to my computer as needed. Probably cheaper than buying and managing my own hard drives; definitely safer. Does anyone know how fast is the download from their servers?

Ah, right. Thank you. Seems this part is about copyright violations. Sounds reasonable to me then.
It doesn't sound reasonable to me - how do they find the violations?
Are there really people who are turned off by dropbox prices? I would take notice if someone made a dropbox with a valuable additional feature, or a dropbox that worked better (recognizing that already dropbox works very smoothly). But price seems like a nonstarter.
Every personal user I know doesn't upgrade to the next tier because of the price.
IMHO I think that a personal Dropbox account (with no business features) for $5/month for 100gb would kill competition and would take in tonnes of cash. Making it the Spotify of storage.

Hubic is run under French law, this means that you need first to get a complaint, the complaint must go in front of a judge and then if the user is found to have broken the law and if the result is a compensation, the user will have to pay. But of course, the user can push against the judgement to a upper court etc. Standard copyright law, dura lex, sed lex .

OVH is the largest not the best French host. They're a budget host that vastly oversells. OVH has no such reputation for responsiveness, their "fair" prices are based on many fold overselling their network and holding onto and charging the same for hardware that's ten years old. They recycle disks even when they're about to die. They overload racks and cause power issues (Your whole rack rebooted? Sorry, one of the s…
You are a customer or where is that info coming from ?
Jesus that's cheap. Anyone know how good their differential syncing is, or what they are using (librsync?) Are they using inotify or is it a regular tree walk?
1. From a quick glance I can't find anything related to patching in backend or change handling classes. Either I'm missing something or it doesn't handle arbitrary changes well. There's some suspect-driving long ByteDelta property on Change class, but I fail to see where it's used in a meaningful manner.
2. It uses a lightweight abstraction over System.IO.FileSystemWatcher. This means inotify, when ran on Mono on GNU/Linux.

"They both have quite a reputation of being reliable and very responsive" Have you ever dealt with their support? - I for myself am quite happy with my service (Dedicated server) so far (because I rarely had to deal with the support) but I've heard a few horror stories where some of their biggest UK customers basically got kicked out even though they stayed within the TOS and the terms they signed the contract for, o…
Do you have links to these "stories"?

The Linux client requires mono 2.10+, so I assume this is something written in .NET.
I wonder.. could this be a fork of the ol' iFolder by Novell? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IFolder
The project structure is completely different, so it's probably not even inspired by iFolder.

Earlier when I used to see people mentioning BackBlaze and not CrashPlan I used to be pissed in a way,but after I used its (BB's) native app for a month (on trial) I could see the difference.

So how would someone discover that they can make a complaint?
