Hi!

As read in the topic, there is a group of various music artists involved in an experimental project.

Now that songs are being finished we were all mystified about how they could be retrieved electronically as far as: a) without any exterior web hosting resources involved (including social network services); and, b) being visible to not only our acquaintances but to surprised and curious music fans who may stumble across these free, non-copyrighted songs.

edit: The reasons for the above: The people involved with this are trying hard to be anonymous out to protect the innocent (and maybe out of sheer embarrassment).

Most of us know nothing about so-called music sharing programs (except maybe the outdated controversial one), so maybe there is another way to use a personal machine to host music.

edit: Also, we are using very low upload bandwidth, not suitable for streaming

Thank you for not pirating

Cheapest Options:

You want to host it locally as a bittorrent, and then hope the downloaders will continue seeding (i.e. sharing) the files. Post the torrent file on sites where you will hope that your target audience will download it. This will not require any external hosting setup.

a. the easiest way is to buy some web hosting, build a lil web page with download links and voila. That way you can serv anybody, even the people that dont know what torrent is for example, and you can easily turn off your local machine when its done. Now if this is some open-source music like project (non-commercial) then contact me and i can maybe figure out some web space for free (if you want the domain, you will still have to pay for that).

b. install a web server on your local machine, set the web page there (brings in a lot of problems, spending time on administration, ect).
