If they can get this to follow me around the world, I'm there. Until then there are a lot of us still without a viable way to watch movies from the internet. (no legal way, that is.)
It's worth proxying your connection securely via SSH/OpenVPN when you are on open wifi anyway.
A cheap $5/month VPS is something every hacker should have in their toolkit.
A lot of these 'companies' are literally run by 15 year olds - which is fine (I used to run a web host way back in the day when I was 16), but don't expect A1 business practices.
Frankly, you can't beat a $19/month Linode out of their London datacenter.
Thanks to lowendbox, I found quickvps.co.uk, which, with a 60% discount offer, offers a 256MB Xen VPS for £3/mo. They appear to be competent so far, even though they did e-mail me my root and web UI passwords :\ Anyway, if it goes poorly, I'm out less than a lunch.
Thanks again for the link!
Also just be careful what you put on the drive as the provider has full access to the drive and I don't trust these cheap providers as much as I would Linode.
