Nopy started as a side project in June 2017, with the goal of creating a sustainable, ad free, privacy focused, full speed file hosting service. Despite some issues here and there, we're incredibly proud to say that we were successful for these past 4 years. We never imagined this weekend project would grow to serve 10s of millions of files and ...
2021-11-04 08:49:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe NA cache is now back online with 5 unmetered servers. I've also resolved an issue with the EU cache where some files could fail on certain servers.
We had to stick with the same provider we used before, whilst I had found some alternatives, they were ultimately still too expensive for our budget at the moment. I've also updated the cur...
2021-08-22 11:15:05 +0000 UTC View PostAs you may have noticed, there has been some recent instability with the NA and EU cache servers over the past week. This is because we've had to temporarily redirect NA traffic to the EU cache, causing them to occasionally be overloaded at peak times.
TLDR: Hopefully the NA cache will be back online next week.
As I'm sure many of you noticed, November was a turbulent time for nopy. Not only did we hit a new record with 9.3 petabytes transferred, in mid November a series of very large files were uploaded which also proved incredibly popular. This resulted in almost triple our normal traffic, although the big issue was the sheer size of the files, slowi...

Late July saw the new NA cache cluster go live, which added around 20Gbps of capacity fo...
2020-10-08 09:01:54 +0000 UTC View PostThanks to reaching the goal, we're currently expanding with a new cluster in North America (all of our other servers are in Europe), adding approx ~10-15Gbps of capacity dedicated just for North American traffic, which will not only increase speeds for NA users, but move traffic from Europe making it faster for everyone. This additional cluster ...
2020-06-13 16:13:13 +0000 UTC View PostThe past few months have seen quite a few changes with nopy. In July, the new design was launched, along with our somewhat mesmerizing live status/statistics page. In September, we added an additional 5 cache servers, bringing the total to 15. November saw us replace our legacy file s...

May was a big month, thanks to the generosity of our supporters on Patreon and Buymeacoffee, our server costs are now covered! May was also the first month we transferred 2 petabytes of data (with over 1.8m downloads)!
With our current costs being covered, we can now start looking at upgrading our current infrastructure to...
