They advertise this on the website:

  > 80% Less than Amazon S3

Why would I use a service that is 80% less reliable than Amazon S3? And if they mean something other than reliability - such as uptime, price, or transfer speed - then they should state it clearly.

It’s not for people that won’t put more than 2 seconds of work into something. It’s a discount service.

That line could easily be a decoy to ward off problem customers who don’t know how to use APIs, read specs, etc and would be high customer service load.

So it's 80% less service than S3, I see ))

In any case, thanks for mentioning the service. I'm quite happy with [Boto](https://github.com/boto/boto3) for interfacing with Glacier but it is good to know about alternatives.

What a ridiculous nitpick.
