Second, I can't tell if you are joking about the application I'm creating and whole HB scene or you just trying to be funny. In the second case: Bazinga!
In the first case: ...
3DownloaderS XDProposed name change from "Download Mii" to:
"Download 3ii" or "3Downloader".
How much bandwidth do you it will need?This is a great idea. But how do you plan to keep bandwidth costs down? I can't think of any third party hosts that would allow downloading without interacting with either a captcha or at least a timer, and self-hosting can get expensive if it picks up steam
But def this is a HUGE step in the right direction to get people to want to be involved in homebrew.
How much bandwidth do you it will need?
Well I don't really know. Text is minimal to send, images would all be icon size, so that's not really a big deal. but the ZIPs that contain the Homebrew can be either KBs or MBs. All depends. Then, once it picks up steam and hundreds of people start downloading, it's going to add up. obviously it would fluctuate when something new and exciting is added to the downloader, but then if a dev pushes an update, every user has to download the update, so that's more bandwidth right there. I'm just speculating since it is something to take into consideration. Realistically, the more popular this application is (and it will be if it works), the more it will cost to maintain.
I work for a hosting company and lemme tell ya, bandwidth is cheap as heck. Especially in the amounts this'll be using.
Space is the more limiting factor, but I suspect even that won't be an issue, as compiled homebrew projects tend to have rather small filesizes.
(Sorry double post)Well, that's good
and yeah, filesizes for homebrew (with the exception of SSBB patches such as Project M) are almost always super tiny. Maybe just hosting on Google drive would be all this project needs.
But copy... Copy...(Sorry double post)
Actually I have some free azure storage so we dont have to worry about Google drive
True, in fact Bandwidth is free on Azure, you pay for CPU work insteadI work for a hosting company and lemme tell ya, bandwidth is cheap as heck. Especially in the amounts this'll be using.

I don't swim in money.... I only take a bath in them... (Joking)Don't worry, I'm pretty sure filfat does a swan dive into a pile of gold each morning like Scrooge McDuck.
And for you losers who didn't get that, DuckTales was the shit back in my day!
Its an virtual machine on Azure I don't pay for Bandwidth, I pay for hoursHow much bandwidth do you it will need?
