How much is your budget?
Online.net or OVH should be good for you.
Kimsufi KS-1 is available,
Grab one of those
a Kidechire would have been perfect for this probably... how much space do you need?
Well I see a figure of "1 or 2 TB" in the post, and those have 160 GB HDDs, so not an ideal match; neither is
You are right, though I did understand that as the monthly needed transfert, not the storage needed. If that's indeed storage space, then there aren't as much (super cheap) possibilities..
Well, but the KS1 got 500GB. But KS2 got 1TB..
And most of us end up with a 2TB HDD.
Yes i know that is kimsufi ovh and online.net but i thought might be something else place to start a mirror;)
Datashack has a 8TB server in stock.

They dont allow Iso`s and Roms
"You may not upload ROMs and Emulators.""
https://www.datashack.net/tos/
The TOS never speaks of ISO's.
It says that roms and emulators are not allowed.
Best way to know for sure is to ask them in a ticket.
You could easily use a cheap VPS, 1-2GB RAM. The problem with say Online.net, Hetzner, Wholesale is sometimes their networks are really throttled, which will result in slow downloads.
I wouldn't exactly say sometimes, their network is just a pure mess 22/7 including that they have yet to "deploy" BCP 38.
Sorry, had to make the joke...
Or maybe a shared hosting with many space available?
Hello,
What's your budget ?
Most shared hosts have ToS saying shared cannot be used for file storage.
Its for open source for now because i see that in my country there are no fast connected server and many of Linux users have problem with downloading packages. its around 40-30 usd
Then shouldn't you be looking for a server with good connection to your country first? If you tell us where you're from, and which ISP you are using, you will get better answers from the community.
Poland its location.
What kind of speeds do you get from http://mirror.nl.leaseweb.net/? Leaseweb has direct peering in PLIX (Poland IX) as well as pretty decent network connectivity.
If you want anything better it'll have to be local, but I don't think there are many low costs datacentres there. Poland universities already mirror a pretty decent number of opensource softwares. Unless you run a datacentre/university in Poland where you can save bandwidth running a local mirror for your local users, otherwise you probably won't get much traffic hitting your mirror when there are larger more well known mirrors around.
