Seriously who cares about those who are living in the past? It is on them for not keeping up with the times.
Hire two persons.
My experience as an admin was quite similar. Developers just couldn't seem to grasp the need for someone to foot the bill for their constant requests for 2 TB LUNs. I'm just glad I'm done dealing with that shit.

No, it really isn't.
I think they dodged a bullet since you took it so personal.

You most likely do not live in Helsinki or anywhere near so called "pk-seutu".
Why Japan (as a location) is special? GFW does not affect traffic from Japan that much?
It probably is _inside_ China. :)
The problem is to upload data to China, we are not downloading anything from there.

"Or rsync your data to Japanese Servers (Linode, GMO, etc) and ask your customers to download through http or https."

We've used Amazon CDN before even for Chinese customers and they have closest node in Hong Kong - they still(Chinese) have difficulties to download our packages. I doubt using Japanese server would solve our problem. Thanks anyway.

Funny you mention it, we are actually uploading to the server in Aliyun cloud services. Completely unusable :(
On this note, we've been trying to upload gigabytes of data via rsync from Europe to China (we are software company who are trying to deliver tools to our Chinese customers..). Connection used to be fast when it was night time in China, but lately the connection has been really slow or unusable. Is there any alternative way to get lots of packages from Western countries to China?
