I stand corrected on the traffic throttling. I went back and ran some tests, and there is no indication that CrashPlan.com throttles my traffic in any way. The usefulness of large volume backup is still limited for me because of my limited outbound speed but this is in no way CrashPlan fault.

Harddrive seeding is a great feature. As a side note, Crashplan allows you to use their software to backup to your own location of choice at no cost, which is an extremely useful and often overlooked feature that is unique to them as far as I know (this is not directly related to the original article so you can read in more details in my blog if you are interested).
