Database Develop

Wah... Wah... Wah... I want files hosted where I prefer.

i don't understand why people keep using rapidshare. there is nothing rapid about it. its crap. mediafire has been recommended by several computer magazines. there is no waiting involved. just download the file...

It'll be interesting to hear the replies for this... I've never really given much thought to this, but I understand what you're saying.

Totally agree.
Rapidshare is ANYTHING but rapid (apart from rapidly removing cash from your credit card!)....especially in the ME.
Files can usually be attached to the forum cant they??? OR are we in that grey area again....Smiles...

Im a total newb here but I love MediaFire compared to Rapidshare. It has been a pain waiting for all the wait times.

mediafire is so much better than rapidshare. like i said. no waiting, no paying, no nothing. and it is so simple. max upload is 100mb i think. plenty in my opinion...

and what about XDA FTP?
Why we are not using also XDA FTP server? limited disk space? limited donw/up data limit? rapidshare and megaupload completely suck!
mediafire looks great )

i agree i hate waitin nad havin to pay for that...but thanks to rapidhacker though, i still agree we shouldnt have to wait

I would prefer mediafire too, but if someone's gonna take the time to upload a file for everyone, then I'm not gonna complain.
With that said, do you have DSL? If so, just turn your modem off for about 2-3 minutes and start it back up and you'll be able to download what you wanted without having to wait an hour or however long rapidshare likes to make us wait!

i believe that would depend on how ones isp's dhcp rules are if one keep the same ip it would not work

Or just pay for an account and have access, then you are not limited.

Guys, if there is a huge file most of you REALLY want to be hosted, I can offer up to 100 Mbytes of Webspace on my (paid-for) database back-end. Just let me know what files you want me to host and I'll mirror them.

something is wrong with your ISP then because I download daily from rapidshare at around 850k/sec

Depends on site you select
The best for me are GlobalCrossing and Level3, other are slow like fart

Ehm, still I haven't had a proper look at rapidshare really, but I guess one should pay in order to download stuff from it.
It is something I'd like to avoid, as many other users do I think.
So, any other (free) solution would be welcomed....
I really don't care about speed as my provider filters connections in order (they say) to limit peer-to-peer... the truth is: they buy bandwidth from another company, so they promise ther users 4 MBits but if everyone used 4Mbits everything would crash.
Anyway, as attachments aren't usually that big, I'd be happy with 30Kbps download speed....

Why pay to remove limitations when places like Mediafire have no limitations?

Don't care rapid share is blindingly fast on my 24Mb connection

sendspace/filefront/filden is free with no wait time (i use fileden, its a direct link, none of this CAPTCHA crap)

You're quite right lad... Any road, calm down... If we were to find out how many people here think about themselves only, we'd go slightly mad...
imho if one has nothing to complain about the topic subject (s)he should simply say nothing

maybe its me
I do all my stuff from my titan and can never get m .f .to work .I rarely have access to my pc and at least rapid works .I would be willing to use another site if it worked for my titan . for me all the great work here is wasted if I can't use it .my 2¢

online storage

not sure if this is too offtopic but i was wondering and i havent looked too much into but i do use it on occasion, is why nobody uses skydrive fot there online rom and theme hosting. to the best of my knowledge microsoft has pretty much or will give anyone who is or does sign up with windows live 25 free gigs of online storage and "no popups" i dont know just thought id throw that out. peace, Veritasaequita

How fast is the server in terms of dl and upload speeds?

Many people use MegaUpload and RapidShare to host their ROMs/themes, those are hosted online.
I personally prefer MediaFire over others. You don't have to sign up and they don't slaughter your connection like some hosting sites. *coughRapidSharecough*

[POLL] Prefered File Sharing services for ROM Cooks to provide downloads for users

I have had communication with several other cooks who also thought this poll would be a good idea. The fact is Rapidshare is by far the most popular used service amongst cooks. However I and many others receive many request for other mirrors due to problems.
So the question is which service is the best for the users, and the cooks. Many of us can only comment on what we have and it is too costly to try many different ones so hopefully this Poll will provide some information.
Keep in mind for cook most all of us have to have a paid account to get around the limitations of the free services.
From a cook myself I have not had any issues with Rapidshare. But I also have a paid account.

Rapidshare is probli best and easiest to upload on, but I personally am blocked out of it through a university VPN
Is there a way of uploading them directly to this website (html), may be alot of bandwith, but maybe each cook could have one file limit each

I prefer Rapishare because I have not any issues with Rapidshare and also have a paid account.Madiafire its very slow in my lokation..

Sorry but this website is not a option I'm afraid.

Another one I forgot to add to the list is FileDropper

Bob,
I am not sure whether you know ROM hosting service that TehPenguin is offering for free of charge. http://vidmes.com/xda/Touch HD/ROMs/
It was widely used in the HTC Universal forum and it is very good. Maybe it is worth for you to have look.

I sent him a PM but I have not heard back. I don't know how to upload to his site.

Have you tried http://dl.free.fr/ ?
It's totally free, you can set a password, and the file is online until nobody has downloaded it for 30 days.
Ok, it's french, but not very difficult to use, and actually, I don't know if you need to use free.fr as you Internet provider in order to upload files...
Or another one, that is free but I don't know it: http://www.filedropper.com/

It is not just about free for me but what the limitations are for users. Some sites limit your downloads per area, some company' block some sites, some only let you download 10 times for users. Thanks and I will check it out.

I've checked for dl.free.fr and it appears there is a bandwidth limitation for users not using Free as there Internet provider, so it's perhaps not the best.
But Filedropper seems quite good, doesn't it?

My own personal preference is any of them except Rapidshare. Only reason is that my work blocks this site

i voted for megaupload
everything i ever downloaded worked with no issue and the speed is at least acceptable

Would it be an option to put a torrent on this site and let sharing do the rest? That's what p2p networks are for right? ;-)

I prefere htcpedia or celogeek
It's not filtred by my proxy.

Good idea!

Sharing Files???

Hi All!!
I'm the one who submits the least to this comunity, i think but!
As i read n searches trough these threads i realise one thing.
there's a need 4 hosting files. I can help with that.
Catch is the maximum file size is i have to split the files so downloaders must download multiple files. If that's not a problem i can help with that.
I can host rar's n images so You smart guy's can have your files accessible 4 a long as needed and free. I even have a gmail adress to send files to me so i can upload them to the site....
If you think that's something 4 you post here and i'll try to answer any questions you might have..
Cheers......
Edit : Sorry moderators or admins! I forgot where in the forum i were

Moved as not ROM Development..
Many of us use free hosting services as Mediafire/4shared free also flip provides mirrors on his site for some chefs etc etc...

I know some of you use those free file hosting services but i read from time to time about the need for hosting or mirrors.
I can help with a "one-click per file" link that could be usefull 4 some if not all users.
Please tell me if you like the idea or how i can help.....

I'm sure someone will find your offer useful. It's nice of you to offer.

That's right, bro!
If someone need a link 4 a file or several files please email [email protected] and i reply with links to the files ASAP.
The files r to be uploaded to one of my sites.
i have 1.5 Gb disk space / site but maximum number of files are 5K.
The maximum file size is 5 Mb but i'll split them 4 ya!
Time spent on a medium ROM are about 5 minutes
The only thing i need to know is your XDA nic and i'll trust it's not xxx or something....

Boycott Multiupload

Can we stop using Multiupload until they become more android phone ready? Can anyone seriously get a download to their phone from that site. Not only that they are unreliable even on a Microsoft PC much less Linux. .I understand that they are free but gee, is it worth it?
