The $1/month fee more than covers the costs of running and managing the servers. Our business is extremely strong right now and we've operated profitably since day one. @Mark - thanks to Amazon EC2, our costs for running these servers are quite low.

I'm wanting some reassurance that the $1 per month isn't a 'loss-leader' price that will be jacked up to the real cost further down the line?

I don't know that anyone has written a formal "review" of it, but several folks have re-implemented it in other languages, proving that it works as described. @MacMacken - we do provide source that demonstrates how the Jungle Disk encryption is performed, which is available at the bottom of the download page.

That is to say, it would be great if you offered whatever backend software you're using to make plus work to users. Many of us run our own hosts in one way or another and would be interested in hosting our own jungledisk plus web service. That would take the burden off of you and keep the license in the "pay once" category instead of the subscription category.

There is certainly higher server usage from some users than others, but it's not too significant overall since the bulk of the variable cost (bandwidth) is passed along. @Meridian - We pass on the standard bandwidth costs from Amazon to Jungle Disk Plus users, so we aren’t really put out for heavy users.

Very very good for those of us with slower connections that tend to #$%$#% fail right near the end when backing up larger files. But I wonder how you will you deal with extremely large users that put allot of load on your hosted servers, and still only pay a dollar a month, e.g. a company with one account using this to manage terrabytes of data?
