How to monetize incoming bandwidth?

Question

Monetization

It is possible to download information from the Internet at a speed of hundreds of gigabits. 90% of projects have outgoing traffic, and payment is made in both directions (according to 95th policy).
For example, like this:

Thus, the band is paid, but not used. What kind of projects use incoming traffic? What kind of projects can be easily raised from scratch?
For those who offer a solution, I can offer channels and hardware on partnership terms.

Answer 1

As a joke: a mini-service that calculates hashes (sha, md5 and others) for isos :)

Answer 2

A lot of incoming and little outgoing traffic - this is some kind of online analyzer:
- checking files with antiviruses and issuing a small report (a la virustotal.com )
- recognizing the name / artist of the song from the downloaded mp3 without tags.
- checking the quality of mp3 files (a la TauAnalyzer ).
- analysis of scientific data (bioinformatics, for example), but computing power may also be needed here ...
Various web services:
- screenshot of the page at the specified address;
- meta tags from html at the specified address;
— information about the image at the specified address (mime type, dimensions, exif).

Answer 3

Make a service that downloads a file, creates a torrent file from it, and specifies the original as a Web seed. And hosts this torrent file. You can specify openbittorrent.com and other anonymous ones as a tracker.

Answer 4

Backlink analyzer (backlinks for SEO webmasters) for example.

Answer 5

backup service? They will upload a lot, download much less.

Answer 6

:-) Do not forget that in Russia many providers have a rule like "The ratio of incoming to outgoing traffic does not exceed 1:5;"
And many projects need to be sucked off for money. They host nginx and a link to /dev/urandom, and you download from your server to /dev/null.

Answer 7

Create a provider company, connect 1000 subscribers, they will gobble up the incoming one. Well, or negotiate with an existing provider to sell it to him.

Answer 8

Another fun idea: a video storyboard generator. That is, at the input we have a huge video file, at the output - a set of snapshots (you know, as it is accepted on torrents).
You can develop the idea even further: do not store this file on your own, but make it automatically published on image hosting sites. Then there will be practically no outgoing traffic :)

Answer 9

You can provide a traffic compression service, like Opera Turbo

Answer 10

Everything related to downloading and analyzing pages. Spiders, analyzers, crawlers - in this spirit. Make a site where you can specify pages and what needs to be done on these pages (for example, using jQuery).

Answer 11

Another Audiko.net. Video compression service (ala panda), but I don’t know how it will affect the outgoing one and the processor time is needed.

Answer 12

torrent service what thread or photo storage like radical

Answer 13

sell data feed to search engines (on the condition of co-lo of their equipment-your channels)

Answer 14

1. So-called. offline browser - site download. Slowly downloads the site, packs it in zip, gives it to the questioner
2. Filedownloader - everyone wants to download from the Internet using all sorts of inconvenient technologies (file sharing / torrents / p2p) and receive via convenient ones (ftp / http / webdav / etc)
3. Proxy for spiders. Alien spiders need a lot of IP, a lot of channels, traffic is exclusively incoming, it is controlled by the element. The only thing in lisveb is unlikely that you have a lot of IP
4. A variety of tasks for suction and filtration. For example, now I have a task to download in terabytes and filter out 99% of duplicate materials
