RE: Would you be interested in a babeshow specific torrent server
It raises a point which I've always wondered about - surely download links should only be available to actual members of the site and not the general masses?
I've never understood why it's allowed to be a free for all. Take a semi-popular post with say 12 to 15 thanks - that becomes several hundred downloads usually. For really popular stuff it can get into the high 100's (don't think I've ever had a file that's gone into 1000's). Shouldn't they contribute to this forum rather than leech?
I don't think torrents is the answer personally - too many people will continue to leech and not seed. Happy to be proved wrong of course....

Personally I'd agree. Most people probably just leech vids without actually participating, but at least making them sign-up would be a small encouragement to get involved.
Hiding links from non-members is pretty trivial, and you could even add options like only hiding more recent links, say the last 3 months, and leave older links open.
Quick heads up on http://onlinestoragesolution.com/
for this weekend, it's down to $35 for 2 years.
I'm currently uploading some of my old Camilla vids, I'll try to provide a link later so you can test download speeds if you are interested.

Doesn't include domain name, it's more an online backup system, although there is some support for web hosting and domains, but I haven't looked into that side of things at all.
One of the newer things they are now supporting is 'owncloud'. I haven't looked into it properly yet, but it looks like a good option for sharing things like vids here (it's quite new to OLS, and they warn it's a bit buggy still, and you have to request your account be setup via support).
It's an open source file sync and sharing option, details about it, including the software if you want to try setting up your own server, here :
http://owncloud.org/
Here's one of my old Camilla vids (191mb in size) if you want to test the download speed. I'm getting very good speeds here. Haven't figured out how to share a complete folder yet, if that's even possible, the owncloud option may be the way to go with that.

Its easy enough to make links available to forum members only.
1) Copy/paste your link into notepad or another text editor.
2) take a screenshot of the notepad window
3) Add your screenshot as an attachment to your post
Attachments are only visible at full size if logged in
It does require the member to actually type in the url though
