Are you sure that Minus is a CDN? Seems to be giving Leaseweb USA addresses everywhere.

I'm pretty sure its not a Geo based File host, Majority of CDNs are Geographic so the latency is lower. I would advise against doing this. If you want a half decent speed.
wow i dont know they are not geo
thanks for your report
minus is pretty bad
Yeah I just tried it and the speed is quite bad.
elaborate?

LOL, is that official or just someone playing about?
I wouldn't be surprised if it is actually the next trend..
dunno

Yes.
I can barely get 13kB/second from their servers.
Hah, that's awesome. Looks like the kind of thing that would be an April Fool's joke, but I don't know if they used it for that or not.

Yeah exploit them! lol
minus is bad because they put too much shit on it, makes it slow. an image host is supposed to provide fast access to images, with working album viewers ON TOP as extras. minus is basically an album viewer with the added benefit of uploading images, not the other way around.
