The vouchers don't give you any amount of $ as credit. Thus they don't work for buying credits. It's not like a Starbucks gift card with a balance you can then spend. The vouchers from sanvit give you exactly the same as if you were to buy a 1 year premium plan. 100GB/mo cdn included.
for some reason I seem to recall that 1fichier may actually take paypal but charge quite a bit more for it. (In case we're still wondering how they make money on top of their deep-discount deals.)
Might not be a big deal if just buying a few $ worth of extra bandwich tho ... low end heresy, I know - and I'm sure paypal would beg to differ with regard to any surchargery but ... it's 1fichier and they don't give a fuck I guess.
They only upgrade your account to premium for 1 year. They do not have any monetary value.
iirc they charge 100% extra for PayPal (=2x)
Just remembering @willie prefers not to use paypal anyway ... Alrighty then - maybe time to mine some monero my man (j/k!)
Sanvit, Ympker, thanks for the explanations.
Uptime, my paypal account is blocked because of bullshit from paypal, so I can't send or receive payments with it. Some places use PP as a card processor so you can pay with a card without logging in to paypal, and that works for me, though other things equal I'd rather use a different processor. If 1fichier does that but charges 100% premium, well, that's kind of steep.
Is cpu mining monero profitable again? That might explain some requests I've been seeing .
Does 1fichier take monero? If that's the case I might at some point offer to buy some monero.
No monero
I doubt it - I think the cryptolords there are finally contemplating capitulation to asic-friendly algorithms.
(Major competition for small-scale miners currently being botnets, so ... no percentage in it really unless working with "free" resources.)
most likely any number of shiny new shitcoins behind the masternode etc requests
As for 1fichier accepting cryptocurrency payments ... I dunno - seems maybe they do not? Just see something about SEPA (which is definitely not a cryptocurrency ... yet.)
EDIT2: monero is still interesting for anonymity absolutists - and, as intended, as an actual private payment method - so is popular in certain online marketplaces. Or so I've been told. Might find some floating around Berkeley via "localmonero".
Thanks, I'm not conversant with all these different kinds of crypto these days but I get the picture, a bunch of them work. After studying the 1fichier docs for a while I think the proposition is the following:
Not sure if anything else matters. It shouldn't be hard to put an S3 emulation wrapper around the 1fichier api and I'd be surprised if nobody has done it yet.
Has anyone checked upload and download speed to the US, since all their servers are in EU?
Thanks.
any
premiummemberor if you use the 1fichier.scdn.pw link (or make something simikar on your own)
I may be able to help you with that
afaik there's nothing available like that for now
https://1fichier.scdn.pw/?etgy6xky2d5hffna885d
Check on yourself
You're welcome
I don't see anything to indicate that 1fichier takes crypto payments directly - it seems to be all about the SEPA (EU inter-bank transfer method) for them. (Maybe I'm missing something.) Edit: apparently any coinbase-compatible crypto is grist for their mill?
Any way you slice it, getting additional yearly accounts each coming with their own fresh 2 TB cold storage quota still beats any of the add-on storage prices, so that seems to be the way to go (unless you need more than 2 TB in a single account).
The remaining sticky wicket would be extra CDN credits - but the "roll your own" 1fichier.scdn.pw scripted authentication-passthrough method seems to be a viable (and possibly even prefered) workaround for that.
And if you can get voucher(s) via @sanvit then Bob's your uncle.
EDIT2:
I have not yet tried the authentication-passtrhough scripting (ie, https://github.com/NicolasLoew/vps/blob/master/1fichier%20index.php) - thinking it would be a good idea to first take a closer look at the details to understand to what extent it might leak credentials etc ... and if any way to get around that potential concern.
I had the impression that the authentication passthrough schemes were either burning their own bandwidth, or using up 1fichier cdn credits that the author had donated. Is it some kind of workaround? That doesn't sound too nice.
Anyway I'm not too worried about large file distribution to other people, particularly non-premium users. It's of slight interest but is only a side question. For small files I can use the cdn no prob.
Thanks! I may address another issue or two later.
Nope, if you passthrough authentication, 1fichier will return a 302 Moved with a direct download URL (or an inline URL if you append &inline). If you're a free user and enabled using CDN credit for your download, it will eat up your credit. However, if you're a premium user, your CDN credits are also intact. The 1fichier.scdn.pw link served around 3.6K requests and ate up around 12MB of bandwidth this month.
Hmmm... 1fichier might be disabling access via the URL now
It is working with my own similar solution (won't share the URL, sorry). So it is maybe a coding issue.
I tried to download this and got an html page wanting me to accept cookies or something. Following the links in that page with a text-only browser eventually did find a direct download link (not sure if any cookies were set) and the transfer speed started at around 12MB/s to Dallas and gradually ramped up to over 20MB/s. This is pretty good, better than I've ever gotten on a single transatlantic connection from any EU server that I can remember. But it sounds like the scheme for making direct downloads doesn't completely work any more. Oh well.
I've disabled it for now. 1fichier seems to have found out and showed me a warning to not use it that way. I'll have a look at how to bypass that, but for now please make your own using the PHP script @Ympker mentioned
Meanwhile, your selly link doesn't work: are you all out of vouchers?
If i find a solution and I will set it up as SaaS and will give direct links to download
Well if it's something 1fichier is trying to prevent, then it will turn into whack-a-mole, which defeats the purpose of being able to give people no-hassle direct links. So I'd just say these workarounds were nice while they lasted but the "right" answer is to pay for the CDN. The LET approach would be to proxy an ftp client through cheap-bandwidth VPS's . At my low traffic volumes the CDN is ok and I don't feel likely to use up even the free credits.
Selly wanted me to pay $19.99/m so I just ditched them. PM me and I'll get you the code
Blesta shop incoming
I only have a handful left, and after it's gone, I'll also have to wait for next BF Maybe blesta will come in handy then
It looks like rclone will soon support 1fichier remote! github issue, beta documentation
The primary reason why I wasn't interested in 1fichier was the bad accessibility. Now that rclone supports 1fichier, I'm in. I just purchased the last premium code from @sanvit (thank you!) and tried the test build of rclone. Here is a quick speed test result from US west coast.
It works! And the speed is acceptable for backup purpose. I'll start trashing my data to 1fichier. 2TB/1yr for $18 is definitely a great deal with no doubt. I just wish 1fichier doesn't disable or cap the API now that their cold storage got much more accessible.
If rclone supports 1fichier, IMO it's the go-to solution for backup storage thanks for sharing it!
Thanks for sharing! This is great news
rclone now supports 1fichier: https://rclone.org/fichier/
I've abandoned 1fichier since I bought it. Now with rclone support, it is possible for quick work.
Having like 10 months of CDN credits, that's good.
I am a scammer and fraudster.
I've got lifetime with them, but lifetime in France is not that long compared to elsewhere.
Still regret not getting the lifetime deal with them back then.
