• We have invites for the Put.io cloud storage game changer

    Friday, December 4th, 2009

    [Turkey] We recently previewed the upcoming put.io cloud storage service which fetches media files and lets you stream them immediately.

    The service has created a lot of buzz, because it’s able to keep redundant copies of your files which you can access from anywhere with a browser, including files for the iPhone and PS3. These can be fetched automatically from bittorrent networks, FTPs, direct download links, Rapidshare links or basic http authenticated links. And you can stream your downloaded files instantly with an appropriate player. For example, Divx Web Player for DivX files. Cleary it has the potential to create something of a media storm. As one commenter on our last post put it “will probably make the RIAA and MPAA pop a blood vessel.” Yes, some may well use this to stream torrented movies. But of course, it’s perfectly possible to use the service for entirely legitimate means like storing videos of your family events. Welcome to the Internet. Imageshack (a US company) downloads torrents without apparent legal problems.

    Putio has competitors like humyo.com and Binfire.com.

    As we mentioned before, put.io will be launched as a paid service but during private beta they are free for some lucky TechCrunch readers. Yes, that’s right, we have 200 invites for put.io which are waiting for you to grab.

    Just click “here” and you’ll be signed up and in.

    They give souped-up beta tester accounts 50 GB storage and 150 GB bandwidth. Which is pretty good.

    After private beta the service will be paid-for, so until then, you can enjoy and help put.io team with the improvements.

    UPDATE: Due to a lot of demand Put.io has added 200 more invites so grab them before they are all gone.

      The ‘techcrunch’ code isn’t workin already! :-(

    • http://www.google.com/profiles/csaba.palfi Csaba Palfi

      That “first 200 commenter” stuff with other invites was much cooler. :(

    • http://timtunnicliff.magntize.com Tim J

      Same here, techcrunch the invite codes don’t work, need fix! help! lol

    • http://geek-news.net/ Richard M

      Its live now, it must have been a glitch. But I’d hurry there were only 80 slots open

    • Gary Sheynkman

      wow that was fast

      looks like an interesting service though…

    • http://timtunnicliff.magntize.com Tim J

      I’m in, thanks for the fix TechCrunch :)

    • http://thedifferenceengine,eu jon bradford

      Keep trying – seems to have a few invites left

    • Yusuf Motiwala

      Got one. Looks neat, especially rapidhare feature. Hope rapidshare don’t ban them.

      Good luck for the launch.

    • mike

      boo, no invites left. I was psyched for this too.

    • http://www.soloengine.com/ Justin

      Thx for thr invite. Testing out the service.

    • goog

      I want one,thanks.

    • http://blog.jpmaxman.com JpMaxMan

      Are there really no invites left, or is there a technical glitch??

    • http://www.apovia.de/ Jan

      Can’t await to test it – feature list sounds really great.

    • http://datagutt1.com datagutt

      No more invites left i see..

    • annhltr

      wow, thx TC!

    • http://bitcount.com.br Marco Túlio Pires

      I just created an account and it showed 30 something invites left… what are you guys talking about?

    • http://danieltenner.com Daniel Tenner

      Well, I’ve clicked about 10 times and it still says no invites… Oh well.

      Hey, put.io team, assuming you read this, if you want another beta tester, please do contact me, via Twitter or any of the contact methods listed on my blog (linked in my name).

    • David

      Awesome timing! A link to this article showed up in my timeline for a split second.

      Thanks TC, I’ve been playing around with Put.io and I think I am in love. Binfire looks positively ugly compared to it.

      I let it download some open-music from Mininova and I must say it worked quite well. Automatically loaded the tracker information, downloaded the torrent, decompressed the archive, and even seeded while streaming the album for me to listen in the browser. (the artist was Kismet, they are pretty good actually)

      I am interested to see how the beta progresses.

    • paulersA

      Sounds great, sign me up!

      Over last year or so, the term Cloud Computing has been making headlines. There are several new entrants into the Cloud Computing industry. The idea is simple, you have all these computers or servers directly connected to the cloud (The Internet) and you have massive computing power at your fingertips. Companies like Rackspace, GoGrid, Amazon, and AT&T are all offering one form of Cloud Computing or another.

      Kind of silly that they only issued 200 invites. I guess putio is not ready for prime time. Thank you for listing the competitors. We signed up for accounts on both so we can evaluate them.

    • skip

      Can I have one please?

    • Zenc

      Maybe some of the lucky ones would post some screenshots? I would do it, if I had access, remember sharing is careing ;)

    • http://www.collabera.com amit Gupta

      I don’t know how to start the thing. where to login and all..

    • http://www.binfire.com David Robins

      Good news is that http://www.binfire.com is still free and you don’t need an invitation to use the service! In addition to multiple files upload and a java applet for drag & drop, the collaboration tools in binfire.com let you have a group folder accessible by multiple users, each having his or her own permission levels. The system allows you to lock a file so other users in your team (group) can not modify a file while you are changing it. All version of a file are accesible at any time.
      The multi-media section allows you to play flash videos plus mp3 audios.
      Another nice feature is the chat option, which allows you to chat with your online contacts. A group (multi-user) chat is coming soon!

    • Vitalii

      Please, give me invite. I want to test it.

    • http://www.binfire.com david Robins

      David, our main goal at binfire.com has been functionality up to now. A new Skin is coming soon with much better UI. Although I don’t call binfire’s UI ugly, we know we need to do a better job in making the user interface easier to understand.

      please send me invite for amazing service. I really approciated!

    • Ethan

      id really appreciate one

    • David

      Fair enough good sir. As a developer I understand the UI is not the most important aspect of a service, rather the quality of the functionality it brings. I guess “positively ugly” was a little harsh, what I meant was that Put.io has a very clean fresh look while binfire seems a little bit dated.

      I look forward to checking out the new skin and I wish you all the best!

    • http://www.binfire.com david Robins

      Dave, I appreciate your comments and was not offended at all! It is the best to hear honest opinon rather than somebody saying something nice, but not true.
      I know for the fact that we need to do a better job in the user Interface.
      Take Care,
      David Robins

    • http://www.binfire.com david Robins

      John,
      The basic functionality as we have today will be free. We are adding new features in the future which might be available to paid users only.

      We just released new and improved version IV of binfire.com. Registration is still free and some free features like Free share ( http://www.binfire.com/rel/index.php?page=share_new_layout ) are better than paid services offered by our competition ( like rapidshare, etc) .
      Collaboration features are improved too, but for that you need to register (free).
