| Free tier | Free downloads run through a capped 'free download flow' with speed caps and waiting; the vendor names no free allowance in bytes. unit mixed; metered on downloaded-bytes |
|---|---|
| Price | USD 43.87 per TiB-month if the allowance is 50 GB per 3 days; USD 14.7 if it is 50 GB per day. The page is ambiguous and the worse reading is recorded. |
| Limits |
The refresh interval is stated as 3 days, not 1. |
| Binding | volume-quota Even on the generous reading of 50 GB/day the plan clears 1 TiB; on the literal 3-day reading it needs a second purchase inside the month, which is what fails first. |
| Identity | email E-mail signup; card, crypto and a Japan-facing reseller are the payment routes named on the page. |
| Egress | '50 GB traffic - Premium traffic refreshes every 3 days' is the whole premium allowance; speed is 'Unlimited speed - No speed caps from the free download flow'. free allowance: 50 GB per 3 days (16.7 GB/day, 500 GB/30d = 0.46 TiB) on the conservative reading price per tb: no overage price; the only lever is a longer plan |
| Per-object cap | not published on the payment page |
| Retention | not published on the payment page |
| Interface | unknown Payment page is an XFileSharing-style grid; no API page found. |
| Tooling | browser; no download-manager documentation found |
| Composes with | Cannot carry one TiB a month on the conservative reading of its allowance, so it is a spot purchase for a specific file, not a monthly key. |
| Reliability | A 3-day traffic refresh means a burst is lost, not queued: unused allowance does not roll over. |
| Notes | The verdict is taken on the literal reading. Until then the conservative number stands. |
| Evidence note | documented Prices and the 50 GB / 3 days sentence are from the vendor payment page read. Whether the refresh is per day or per three days is unresolved and is the single fact that decides the verdict. |
