Hey, I would be glad to host any file which is created for xda-developer in the Raphael section. I made a gaming website, which I didn't even bother finishing. I have about 600GB per month for one year, I'll be glad to host file for you guys.
If you are interested please contact me here. Or at [email protected]
Thank you.
How much space do you have?
About 60 GB, 20 GB with free space.
I've mirrored the entire XDA FTP, and that's about 20GB alone. Unfortunately, most of this stuff isn't on there. Especially the Raphael section...there's not much on the official FTP. For all XDA, I'd think more like 150GB, but not sure. I'm currently thinking about crawling the forum, harvesting links to archives, hashing the files, and providing a sort of automatic check for mirrors.
Once that's done, a report could be run to find non-redundant linked files, so that mirrors can be found for them and added.
Assuming certain commands are supported on the FTP side, one could even script an auto-mirror function. I really don't think it'll be necessary though. If mirrors are missing, you wget all those single-repo files, upload them to a fresh FTP, and then add those mirrors to the database. Easy peasy.
Any takers?

Pocket IE is trying to download the file that is serving up the stream... this file is a PHP file and these files are actually "web pages". This is not the actual audio file itself.

try using Webby Mobile as it is faster and tends to handle these "target" files much better.

In addition, I also recommend my all-in-one article at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279890 on all these questions. Worth devoting some hours to read it, it explains everything.
Why is this article in a forum post? Why is it not in the Wiki where the informaion is more "Static" and can be found with the links to the page??? This is they type of stuff (I think) that will rectify all of the problems in this forum right now...
Or at least a separate sub/forum on articles/reviews. This way there would be a place to go to find the latest/greatest easily.
Seriously, try searching this forum for all posts by Menneisyys. The sheer mass numbers of posts overwhelms the search function.
If you only had to search in an Articles sub-forum, the odds of a good match would be astronomically better. Then you could easily link to the articles from any thread without causing distraction or confusion.
I know these articles are also available @ the link in Menneisyys' sig, but if they are going to be posted in these forums, It'd be valuable to keep them all in one place.
Also, I second the idea of adding alot of this valuable information to the Wiki, But I've hesitated to do so myself, even in reduced form, without permission. (Even though it is published freely for the benefit of the community.)
I feel this way especially because Menneisyys lives off of these efforts. Further, he is the one who knows the most about what he is trying to convey, therefore if he does the posting to the Wiki himself, less information is liable to be misconstrued.
This, of course, applies equally to all of those who have taken the time, effort, and love to provide us with articles and reviews.
-Just one man's opinion.
Now go have fun!
Thanks for the feedback; indeed they will be reposted to the Wiki as soon as I have some free time. Until that, make advanced forum searches by entering "Menneisyys" in the poster field to narrow down the hits.

Sorry, so far, just haven't had the time to create an independent Wiki version of my articles. This is why I've been preferring forum-based posts.
Dearest Trinity users,
I've taken the liberty of uploading all the current ROMs onto RapidShare for our downloading pleasure. I've also updated the wiki with links to all the new locations so that when the files are removed from the XDA hosted FTP we'll still have a place to get a hold of the files. I believe this will be the easiest, quickest method as opposed to using Torrents. That way we don't need any extra software to download the files and no seeders will be needed, either. If the links to these files will ever be required to be removed from the wiki along with the FTP files, I still have the full list of download locations so we can move the info onto any page we would need in the future.
Thanks

Seems like a good idea
Good idea. And actually a great counterblow against the Microsoft's hostile plans to limit the availability of ROMs.
Maybe they will next to try close whole internet because there _MAY_BE_ some software available that hurts Microsoft's business..

But that would be perfectly reasonable. The thing is that no-one is hurting Microsoft's business making those ROMs available. Quite the opposite: this site and those unofficial ROMs have contributed to the success of Windows Mobile.
But to be honest in this case I think that Microsoft is acting to please the companies that license Windows Mobile (i.e. the network operators) more than themselves. The network operators don't like sites where you can learn how to unlock phones and replace their branded software and it's easy to understand why.
Great!!

Very well thought out and well spoken.
But no worries, just means we have a couple more hoops to jump through.
Why not share them in a filesharing network (emule, torrent, etc)?
Then, it would be a real "community project" and it would be not so easy to bring them down...
All files should contain "xda-dev" so they could be easy to find.
Just my 2 cents

Yep that's true also. I'm open for plenty of other options besides RapidShare. I'm thinking of RapidShare as more of a temporary solution while XDA is forced to start deleting all the ROMs from their FTP server.
I have purchased webspace so if any one of you is needing direct links of roms ask me i will upload them
and provide you with direct download links
Just last month I did over 1300gb of bandwidth hosting various rom files and Fatsal's old android files.
You better either have a secondary shared hosting account that can be bogged down or a dedicated server for yourself.
Is this this the case?

i got a web space from my college
it is a bit slow but could be used as a alternate download link
Hey guys,
I just thought I should post this little tip about two sites I know of. Many of the uploads in XDA are mirrored in sites which have annoying download limitations. Some uploaders do it trying to make some cash but at the rate these download sites pay, I doubt they'd make a lot.
In any case, this tip is for people who like to create mirrors.
There are two sites that I'd like to mention. Namely, URL Droplet and sideCLOUDload.
Both these sites provide an unique feature. They provide remote upload to Dropbox.
http://urldroplet.com/ (300MB limit)
https://www.sidecloudload.com/ (25MB limit)
So, next time you want to mirror something, you wouldn't have to trouble yourself downloading it first especially if the file is large or you have slower internet or you use a volume based package.
These sites are also useful for downloading files from slow sites. You add the file to queue and the these sites will upload the files you want to your dropbox and you could download the file without any delays from your dropbox.
If you are new to dropbox, do consider using my referral link when you signup.

Great info.
But find it a little useless when you look at it?
Why upload it to someplace to then mirror it to dropbox?
multiupload does it to multiple well known file sharing sites in 1 upload.
I use dropbox and it's great but the tools you provide are more for important stuff. Like let's say you found a software or license package you need allot and you always wanna have it . Well then those sites will let it synch to your dropbox and then a copy is safe on your space.
Rapidshare also has this service now.
In case on this forum where the majority of shares are Kernels,Roms,Apps i would still say that file sharing hosts (not promoting here) are the fastest and best solution to share.
Google should actually make a service like dropbox.

I often see requests to mirror some files elsewhere since some of these file sharing hosts have annoying limitations. This is to mirror already uploaded files. Not all files.
As you know, dropbox has no limitations. Plus, anyone can save it to their dropbox without a problem. Multiupload is great but not a lot of people use it.
This might not be useful for everyone but it might save some time for many.
Google already has a dropbox like service. Google Docs comes with 1GB free storage and uploading as well as sharing for all files but additionally editing for documents.
Thx for the info.
Didn't know Google docs already had it never actually used it shame on me.
Anyways yeah got a point.
Another one then i can add to the usefull list is Rapidshare.
As free customer you have unlimited space & unlimited amount.
Downside is after 30days of inactive it gets deleted and the downloading has a waiting time.

Google Docs has no sync. Maybe that's why you missed it. RapidShare is great and Uploading.com is great too. But, I find the download limits annoying. Sometimes, Rapidshare and similar sites will run out of download slots for free users with no means of downloading the file at all.
urldroplet is great, I've been using it for quite a while. The 300MB limit isn't that great though. Is there something like this for google drive though, preferably with a higher (or no) limit?
Hi
I see alot of developers uploading their roms to free sites like hotfile, megashare and depositfiles. The problem is that these sites wont give users a pleasent download if the user is not a premium member.
Therefor; I would like to offer free webhosting for rom developers. I am planning that it should be ad free and with direct links. But i need your help.
I would like to host a system, so that I can create users on my site, so they can login, upload files and retrieve download links. note that many developers would like to have statistics on their downloads, so that should be possible too.
I dont know what system I should use, also, it's not that hard to make one from scratch, I just dont have the time.
I can provide mysql databases too if necessary.
Also, lets vote for a domain name :highfive:
I think there are already some platforms where you can upload and share your roms.
e.g. http://goo.im/ or google project hosting...
Also you did not mention what you would like to call your hosting service
rom-service.com
rom-service.org
rom-download.org
or something like that

Actually it's not just for roms, devs can upload whatever they like.
I have 750gb storage and 750gb bandwith. I am not even using 10gb ea. It's a shame to not put it in good use.
