I want a distributed , highly available storage for files but not on cloud. What are the open source alternatives i have ?

One option is simple file server with apache, but thats not highly available.

I found one https://code.google.com/p/mogilefs/

Is there something better ? Have anyone used mogilefs before ?

Is it perfect replacement of S3 , my basic requirement is to upload and download files. Upload tps might be high.

Answer 1
