the character encoding issues on the front page do not inspire much trust in the ability to preserve data

how can this last forever? doesn't a torrent tracker or emule sharing cost lower?

They don't guarantee any longevity. Once people stop seeding the file it's "gone".

Well, they might still have it on a disk. Or they might have not. Zero guarantees.

So, where do I buy shares? :upside_down_face:

I do plan on adding a torrent file for each snapshot with the site used as an http seed. That should help lower the bandwidth costs.

I do still need to add things. I'm planning on doing a fairly nice refund policy and a 10 to 1 storage durability guarantee.

@Rotonen that is what I get for announcing things while tired.

lack of routine in bytewise thinking, i say :P

yeah, the problem was I copied it from a document that was doing smart quotes. I often don't encounter these problems because I usually don't stray out of lower-ascii.
