Anti-dupe system

#1 Postby peterdays » Apr 23, 2010 3:01 pm

do you use the "Anti-dupe system" for files? any issues around it? i see a couple of situations that could cause problems. A user deleting a file that someone else also has. copying a file from server to server, etc.


does everything work right? i am afraid of using it. hehe

For sure, deduping has a lot of details to consider to work correctly.

If I was going to enable deduping, I'd prolly see how many dupes a month
I get first by comparing checksums, then if it's worthwhile dedupe
"free" users who can't really complain if their file disappears or expires.

I would be very careful before deduping premium users or files that don't
expire for months.
