Hi, everyone - I'm back with a couple more questions.
I'm exploring adding redundant links for magazines, and wanted to clarify some of the details, both in general and in the case of the contest.
The contest does not count Rapidshare and FileFactory links as qualifying redundant links, but do other file sharing websites qualify? I'm exploring a few options which allow both direct linking (well, as direct as a file share host will allow) and no expiration date on shared files, which I assume are the minimum requirements for file share redundant links.
I'm also considering storing files on my own server. However, I have bandwidth concerns, as I'm financially responsible for my bandwidth beyond a certain allocation per month. I should be able to enable a hard cap on bandwidth usage, however, which would temporarily disable any downloads until the following month once the cap has been reached. My question is, are hard bandwidth caps permissible for self-hosted files?
