Hi all devs for our fantastic phones...
I've got a site (xdafiles.net) with over 700 GB of space and 7,5 TB of bandwith/month.
Me, and many others with me, have been very frustrated over the random file sharing places that the devs use, and I've also seen many devs asking to get their files mirrored. I'll firstly make the files available through ftp/direct link download (available just after upload like any other server), and after files get added I'll make a ftp-browser for people to browse throught the files with a browser at xdafiles.net.
This server has very good speeds up/down, so no need to d/l with 100kb/s any longer!
DEVs, or other individuals wishing to contribute with some files related to xda, should leave a comment or PM me. I'll give you a user/pass for FTP. The adress for your files will be e.g. "http://xdafiles.net/novek/xxxxxxx.zip".
So, this is one of my possibilities to contribute, and hope that rapidshare etc. will no longer be used
I can also mirror stuff if need be. 100mbit, unlimited bw a month

I know a lot of you know about my site... http://www.myhangoutonline.com
I host a bunch of files and tutorials for not only the G1 and MyTouch3G but also for OSx86 and others...
Update:
Tutorials are Back up. Including some PSP tutorials...
Forums are up...
I allow 100 files to be uploaded per user in the forums... Each file can be up to 100MB in size. I have unlimited bandwidth so if any Devs here don't want to use Mediashare or any of those other Ad intense file hosting places, you can upload it into the Forum and link back to it from here.
Still working on updating a few more things... Still a work in process but slowly coming along. Enjoy!
Awesome I'm signed up. Thanks
updates updates and more updates
Dear chefs,
Everybody knows how slow some online share-site's are. It's frustrating for you, that every time you just finished your new ROM, you have to wait so long
The users are frustrated by the same site's because of all the restrictions: wait 1 or 2 minutes, it's to busy right now, slow connection, you reached your max. data quota for today, and all the terrible add's & pop-ups!
But, there is a solution! It is an application for your computer (win & mac) that will put a special folder on your desktop. It is a special folder because everything that you put in that folder, automatically synchronizes with your ON-LINE storage space! If You have more than 1 machine like me, you are glad with the next feature: synchronizing between desktops. I've installed the application on my Win7 desktop, and on my MacBook. So stop mailing yourself, end throw away that USB stick that's always lost
But, why you MUST use it, is the Public Folder in your synchronizing folder! When you have finished your new ROM, just put it in your folder (zip/rar is not necessary!) en right-click > provide public link!
This link, you post on XDA and every user can download your new ROM in peace! To test it, here is a link from the Mikenificent 13.3 ROM, I put in my public folder> LINK
See a short youtube video with all the possibilities

So, have I convinced all Chef's to use dropbox for your ROMS?
Use this LINK to get started whit dropbox. Why that link? It's a referral link, and when you use that we both get hooked up whit 250MB extra, besides the 2GB standard storage!
Thank you, and keep cooking!

sometimes we use the online storage hosters (not me) to gain money cause sometimes( like me) buy a premium account to store everything, as many ppl do. and sometimes some storage dont erase our files...
So... whats the benefit in this cases to us? wich is the fastest Upload download rates you have? does it erase files when nobodys download them? you will get money for it? does we?
Mediafire dont erase my files... and dont have waiting time dunno if ppl is happy with it... and ppl do its own mirros in fact.

Maybe if you didnt post your own refferal link at the bottom of that post, you would have been more.. believable.
Dropbox is nice for small files. However the speed, sucks sometimes. In order to make files available publically you have to put them in the Public folder, where they will get erased 30 days later. So there's some drawbacks, but for a cook that only cooks for one or two devices and plans on updating the ROM at least once a month, it's not a bad choice
@OP:
Two items;
1) Here is a review that I did on the various file hosting services:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5492841&postcount=6
2) You have posted this in several forums. It's borderline spam, any more instances and your account will be suspended.
Thread closed.
My company site has unlimited space and bandwith so I figured why not give access to the people who have helped me the most!
Figure this would help when you are trying to get your new Roms, app, and other developments out there.
PM me with the username and password you would like and I will create you a directory on my server.
your url would be www.cybermetricsystems.net/whatever_you_want
I also offer a solution for dev's...I've had a thread about it before.
It allows an upload to be made which is stored on the server with a web seed.
Fastest way possible to distribute files. (also the first of it's kind)

Let the hosting games begin!
im all for ftps and such, but, why arent we using torrents rather than hammering a ftp/webserver?

I think main reason is so that the main file dosen't get altered and someone else reposts a crap file, but could host the .torrent file on the FTP if you like...
RAPIDSHARE!!!! lol, i actually paid premium for that thing..

Real reasons for here are:
Not always sufficient seeds
Can't access files on mobile
I've fixed the first, the 2nd is on it's way.
Also, torrent files can't be altered...the hash is dependent of the file contents.
Hi,
I want to give something back to developers doing great jobs for smartphones. So I decided to mirror/host any roms, files, sources, scripts, projects.
I'm also not a friend of free hosting services with pop-ups, speed limitations, captchas or waiting time.
What you get:
- space... a lot of (~ 14TB, upgradeable)
- speed... 1000 Mbit up/down
- traffic... no limit
- uploading files via ftp account or web-script
- own subdomain with your (project)name (e.g myrom.xda-hosting)
- counter (so you can check out your hits)
What I want:
- Nothing, but you can hit the thanks-button
Requirements:
- no illegal stuff
- no abuse
- only project related files (size doesn't matter)
If you are interessted just drop me a PM, that's all.
cheers,
FabseN
P.S.: It seems not the right subforum, but I wanted to start in a section of my device.
Very noble gesture indeed. You deserve a "Thanks" at least for this
I'd suggest you start mirroring all the popular ROMs (do ask the devs first). I'm sure a lot of users would appreciate your services
sure, that was my first thought. but on the other hand... who will keep the releases up-to-date then? that's why I would like the devs to manage the mirrors by themselves so they can keep the links up-to-date.
I know with the shut down of megaupload many people are looking for a site to upload there files I own a dedicated server and am wanting to give back to the XDA community by offering a free file hosting serveice if you need to host files you can here at myandroidroms.com. Just thought I would offer the service out to anyone who migth need it.
