This is a duplicate post from the main forum... Thought I would post it here to let all my Kaiser developers know about it too:
I have been "leeching" from XDA for a while now and I want to give something back to XDA.
I have a webhosting business. I am not really doing anything with it at this time. I was thinking about opening it up for XDA members for file hosting.
I HATE RapidShare and other "free" sites like it... I wouldnt do anything more than some banner ads on the site, maybe some GoogleAdSense... Nothing intrusive... I promise...
Would anyone use this COMPLETELY FREE SERVICE?
Im setting it up now, 100MB for RAR and ZIP, 50MB for CABS
www.FarBeyondHosting.com
Is it ok for the Kaiser gals to use it? We do have some
What is the allocated space per user account?

Hey I am more interested in knowing that rather than hosting.
Great idea mate, That would be really very helpful for all. I suggest you to contact ROM developers as they are the trendsetters.
Good luck

None... Its on a VBulletin just like these forums... I am going to make sure the links are "pretty" and you dont have to be registered to download them...
You will still need to be registered to POST them as attachments... if I had some kind of ftp/file sharing thing like 4shared I might use it, but I dont... so vbul it is!
Thumbs up!
great idea!!
Awesome idea. Most file sharing sites are blocked from my work and sometimes I see these cool apps and ROMs and I can't get them until I get home.
Great job.
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....

Yes this needs to be taken down if it isnt for Droid X, if it is, you should have a direct download link. Not a link to another site for downloads.
I think that's in the rules of the forums.

a folder on a server isnt another site. you wanna handle 38 threads for me? update each one with a direct link every night?

Ummm maybe because rootz doesn't have guidelines for posting... as for what you and the other guy said: I may have messed up the rule, but if you plan to bring something out, wait till it's actually out before you write a post saying " here it is" in the main post then under it saying "coming soon" that's misleading and hence why you get angry messages... Its like saying there is a ps3 here for free! Then saying well maybe tonight it'll be free. Of course you'll get backlash that's just common sense. Might I suggest that if you want to do this in the future put "coming soon" in the post title.
Now on to your direct download question. You should know by now that there are direct downloading (hosting sites) that allow you to have a list of several different files under 1 direct downloading page. IE 1 link then click on the file you want then instant download. No need for ftps or other miscellaneous things. And now for the several posts you have: that's what a developed does if they want to get stuff out to the masses. I've done much MUCH more than 27 threads in separate forums for much more popular things than android. Like for instance back in the old days when you had to El patches that were 150mb for counter-strike 7.5 beta.... aaahhh good old days.....

I was not being ride for christ sake! I simply asked if I was missing something. A second post saying coming implies something else is coming, not the rom that u said was here. If u doing like people asking where a rom that u said was here is, then don't post that its here. That seems pretty simple.

I know its free work, I'm not complaining about the work (mostly because there is no work done yet, and I haven't tried it out), All I'm saying is that there are rules and I thought that one of them was no 3rd party dl link; meaning no one can say "here's the download" then take someone to a 3rd party site so that you have to click on additional links for the download. That's both misleading & under-minded.
Same thing I was complaining about with his "here is a new rom" then right under it there was an additional post stating "well.... coming soonish...." If you don't mislead people you won't get 1/2 as many angry posters as there normally are when this kind of crap happens. Read rules & don't mislead people, that's all Im saying.

Linking to downloads that REQUIRE REGISTRATION is against the rules. Direct downloads (or nearly direct, in this case) are not.
XDA doesn't host large files like roms. How would any dev post anything without an external site?? How, exactly, do you classify MediaFire, et al.?
If you have a question about said rules or think someone is breaking them, how about PMing someone who knows them (read: moderator) before pissing off a major developer.
r2, I'll implore you to stick around. Please, PM me if you need anything. I also mod in TB if you run into this kind of junk over there.

thank you, but its been building for a while. there were 5 pages on rootz before i got a build up, 5 pages of discussion and friendly FAQ. even after the builds got messed up, not a single person got rude.
it hasnt just been here, though the guys here are what finally pushed me over the line. ive been dealing with this quite a lot here, and have been slowing down my post rate for a while. Maybe if xda can clean it act up ill be back, but i dont see it happening in the forseeable future.
all my work is still available, i just wont be posting it here.

Thanks for the clearification; but I wasn't referring to "3rd party websites" as sites like megaupload, megashare, etc, etc. I should of phrased it differently, what I should have used was "personal websites" because most of them usually require some kind of login. In this case no; so thanks again for clarifying.
As for pissing off the dev, that's a 2 edged sword, as I get why other people besides me are angry. It really is misleading to have a post in a section dedicated to ROM development/release and tell everyone "here it is" then post again saying coming soon. I don't really mind if it is coming soon, but it would have been nice to have him put something like "Coming soon" in the post title. Droid X doesn't have much development on XDA at all anymore. And since this is the second of 2 in the last month (and 1 rom before that in the last like 5) people are bound to freak out! Then to see something like what happened here, that will quickly turn into something like "wtf is this?"
We both had problems and now both problems are out in the open. We can both learn from it.

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?
