4chan needs better software!

If you use the wonders of distributed computing you could simply buy 10 or more shared hosting packages from various providers such as 1&1, go daddy, dreamhost, etc. and easily cover all the bandwidth costs.

They just need distributed software. Seriously all the bandwidth issues are from static images and flash files. The board software doesn't even need to be distributed just the images.

They're basically maxing out their 100 Mbit line.

So that's 100/8 = 12.5 MB/s (megabytes per second)

Which is 12.5*86400 = 1,080,000 MB/day

Making 30.5*1080000 = 32,940,000 MB/month

In other words, that's almost 33 terabytes per month bandwidth usage.

How are you going to reliably split this much data transfer across a handful of shared hosting accounts?
