I know, I read the article.

But I feel like Dr Strangelove here. Of course, the whole point of a torrent on a cloud service is lost if you also provide a raw download link.

Also providing a download link is tempting, but can easily cost (for a 17GB file and growing) up to US $3 per click.

Even off of their premium global network it's over $2 per click. The cheapest in Microsofts entire egress table would be $0.68 per click. (but that only kicks in after you've spent way more than $9400 in cheaper tiers in a given month)

Egress kills you, in cloud. "Oh, cloudflare probably caches most of this" is not something I'd recommend.
