## nostr.download (route96 Blossom server)

- `storage/nostr-download` | qualifies | evidence reported | binding per-object-cap | category p2p-blob-storage
- needs card no, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-10-21 (inherited) | stale on 2026-11-05
- url https://nostr.download/
- free tier: 10.00 GB per file (hard cap, read off the server's own the provider). No published per-user total. 'Inactive file deletion: No limit'. 'Delete never-downloaded files: After 1 days'. | unit: GB | metered on: unstated | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: 10.00 GB per file | bytes: 10000000000 | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: Retention is download-triggered, not time-based: a file nobody fetches within 24 h is deleted | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: unmetered — files served by GET /<sha256>, Content-addressed. Served through the server's own CDN; no egress counter is exposed anywhere. | metered: no
- identity: anonymous | detail: anonymous
- interface: unknown
- limits:
  - per-object-cap (binding): 10.00 GB per file [1]
  - retention-clamped: Delete never-downloaded files: After 1 days [1]
- limits note: per-object-cap 10 GB. Retention is download-triggered, not time-based: a file nobody fetches within 24 h is deleted. Anything in the hot working set survives indefinitely.
- interface detail: Blossom (BUD-01/02/04/06) + NIP-96. Plain HTTP PUT /upload, GET /<sha256>, HEAD /upload for preflight. Pinned by NIP-94 kind 1063 events.
- tooling: any HTTP client. Auth is a signed nostr event (kind 24242), so a locally generated keypair is the only credential. route96 (v0l), lotus, or hzrd149/blossom clients all speak it.
- composes with: content-addressed by SHA-256, so a chunk-per-object scheme maps onto it natively with no index server — the hash IS the locator.
- reliability: single volunteer operator, no SLA, no durability warranty ('Do not use this service as your only backup'). Purges never-downloaded objects after 24 h, so a write-only cold archive decays to zero.
- notes: the same as the free tier
- evidence:
  - [2] 2026-10-21: 'Max upload size 10240 MB', 'Whitelist Open'
  - [1] 2026-10-21: 'Maximum file size 10.00 GB', 'Inactive file deletion: ? No limit', 'Delete never-downloaded files ? After 1 days'
  - [3] 2026-10-21: PUT with no auth returns HTTP 401 / x-reason 'Auth header not found', i.e. the endpoint is live and the only gate is the signature, not an account
