BitTorrent-Filesharing: The most ridiculous mistake, an uploader can make. - Off-topic

Hello, everybody.
I've seen many dead torrents in the Internet.
Most of the times, a too low count of seeders will cause a torrent to die or will make the availability very low.
But sometimes, somebody who created a torrent, does not exactly know, in which way Torrents work.
This can cause the creator to think, that everybody, who loads this torrent now, will get the files.
He will switch the computer off or delete the files (thinking, he can get them back with the same torrent), not realizing, that there are no online-servers, who store the files to be shared. If you've just created a torrent, you are the only seeder in the world. If somebody loads the torrent, the files will be downloaded directly from your computer by the leecher. If you seed the files to the leecher, the leecher will turn into a seeder and if somebody else switches his computer on and loads your torrent, that's how torrents grow up to survive. Then they will be also able to seed it, as long as their computers are switched on and the files are present, and they're connected to the Internet with a running torrent client.
You have to seed your torrent in order to keep it alive and make more seeders. They'll share it to leechers, which are online at a different clocktime.
But if the original uploader does not seed this torrent and thinks, all work is done, then the torrent will die instantly.

Please do not do this mistake, if you create and upload a torrent.

Free Torrent App in market

Theres a app in the market called Torrent-fu. Does what all the other torrent programs do, but a little more like it can stop and start torrents. Where the others cant and the best part is that its free.
Transdroid does the same. using the miniui you can do start/stop from your browser also. I still prefer BarTor though
So... what does it do?

Allows you to monitor your torrents from your G1. (assuming you use utorrent... I think its just for utorrent... I could be wrong on that one.)
i still dun get it.....
can u be more specific plz ><""
like kazaa, limewire, napster but better
torrents= files you can download
Utorrent (other programs exist, just don't know the names)= controls the downloading of torrents
xD unless he lives in a cave in Himalaya I think he knows what is torrent
On any torrent client nowaday you can activate the webserver option
with this you can control add stop your torrents from your G1.
Example:
You have your torrent client running at home.
You are at you friend's house when he looks for some good series.
You don't have and usb stick or HDD on you.
Instead of writting down the name of the serie.
just add it to you bittorent client via your G1.

Android friendly online file storage?

Hi there,
I was just wondering if anyone knows of file storage sites that have mobile friendly pages. Something like DropBox would be ideal.
Today I am on a library computer and have a folder of word files I really want to read on my Magic on the train on my way home but can't use USB to mount my SD. I tried zipping and emailing it to myself but gmail didn't let me download the zip file. I had a preview option but that just tried and failed to open it in Astro. I love Zoho writer's mobile version for viewing files but that doesn't let me batch import. Most free backup services have hugely bloated web clients and wouldn't play nicely with a mobile browser.
Anyone heard of such services/apps?
Setup an FTP server at home and use AndFTP on your phone to connect to it. It's probably the easiest and then you also have full control over your own files. FileZilla server is free and fairly easy to setup.

For that you'd have to let your PC run when you're away... pretty useless.
You turn your computer off when you're away? :O
Pretty useless reply if I may say so.
@rahux: Did you try uploading files without zipping them? It may be a hassle if there are many files... Maybe you could just rename the zip file to .txt or something like that and you may be able to download it.

If it is just word files you want to view. Upload the files to google docs. Then get 'gdocs' from the market and away you go.

Free & Add Free FileHoster

When i want to try an App or Rom, and download it, i hate some FileHostSites.
As i'm a webdesigner and got my own server i made my own filehost website.
I only want to host files from/for XDA-Developers.com.
So if u want to use it as developer, use the same username as on this website, all other usernames will be deleted.
I also made the upload limit 253,5 MB as most roms don't exceed this.
It allows: CAB, ZIP, TAR, 7ZIP & RAR files.
The website is new and in beta, feel free to use it and give me some comments on it when there's a bug.
http://www.bazurk.net
Only uploaders need an account, downloaders are free to follow download links like this: http://bazurk.net/?d=16F791EA1
This seems like a great idea More so because I am at a school where most of the popular file hosting sites are blocked, which is a total pain in the ass when I want to get a ROM.
Does the site support multi-connection downloads and pausing/resuming? (DownTheMall or similar) Because that is my main beef with file hosting sites, my school's network is complete **** and if you try to download something usually it will download a meg or 2 and then slow down and eventually completely stop, at which point I have to pause and resume to keep it going.

Which online storage should I use for my ROM?

What online storage site is the best to put new ROM's on??
- waiting before downloading?
- pop-up's?
- a lot of spam on the page?
- slow downloadconnection?
- max. number of downloads at a time?
- max. data transfer a day?
That are some negative features of online storage site's, I'm searching for a solution without all of that!
I would go for either mega-upload, or 4-shared(has online archive system, with folders and stuff).
I would host it on the xda ftp server. or find someone with server that wants to host it. i maybe could host your rom if you would like. pm me for more info.
You cant host ROMs on XDA's ftp server. They don't want legal trouble.

i guess i have not been keeping up with the news. didnt they used to host roms there?
yeah so much time they hosted everyhting in there.. it was really cool... but its over jiji
Thanks for the reactions!
There is indeed the issue of legal troubles
Let's say it's not an option to store ROMs at a private server, or the XDA FTP.
So it has to be external storage, for free ofcourse
An ROM takes about 200/300 MB, let's say you have a few versions (e.g. Manila) and you will keep the last 2 editions you maked before your new ROM..
So 2GB storage is necesary? or not?
User interface from a online storage site is also important! Creating folders is a must!
Someone guggestions?
Use 4shared then. Its perfect for what you want. Go and check it out.

looks nice, but when you download a file you get a wait a minute page whit lots of spam!
wetransfer,com has a great downloadpage!
It also must look decent!
wetransfer deletes files after 2 weeks, so its no option.
I think I have the right solution!
I'm testing now, and let it try by a chef!
