"Strict no log policy" That's a great thing for many of us.

But the price is quite high with 90$ (currently) per Terabyte.

If the legal situation in your country allows you to download things like Movies, Computer Games and Software without legal consequences and your downloads are also available on a hosting site, you would be cheaper of this way.

If you either depend on privacy or using torrents, this might be a great service for you.

Very nice, they even make the torrents healthier by seeding: "We ensure that every torrent downloaded through Coinado is seeded to a ratio of 2 or up to 36 hours, whichever happens first."

36 hours doesn't seem long enough to me, according to my experience.

interesting idea, but its currently slow... the demo url they give, you would expect to be fast... i got the first 1024k and its been waiting since... ETA started at 39 min, its now at over 12h... would definatly be interesting if it worked as expected, and maybe a little cheaper as @radle mentions, but interesting none the less...

That's meaningless. You can say it but you can't prove it.

If you need to rely on that to keep you out of trouble then don't.

Seems a bit like put.io. Companies that make money purely by supporting copyright fraud historically have faced a lot of problems, though.

Put.io has a big advantage in that it streams the files to you via the browser. You don't need to download the whole file locally in order to watch it. If needed it even converts to mp4 and adds subtitles.
