Yeah, if your host has a quota for data in and out then you’re more likely to exceed it by being a redundant server. If a video you backup becomes popular it will call on your server to help serve it. Peertube is based on the BitTorrent protocol, you’re volunteering to be another seeder when you make a video redundant.
Okay, thats fine, thankfully. While I may eventually have to reduce it if more people use my server, right now, bandwith is available in spades and there are no quotas to exceed with the provider. When you mentioned it, I worried I might accidentally overload the servers I want to support, somehow.
