Hi,
Just got my server up and running, have a fair bit of free space on it which I am willing to allow people to upload their roms, themes, apps. Anything related to XDA really.
Features:
-100MB/s connection (can download a rom in a few seconds if you have amazing connection)
-Unlimited Traffic (so shouldn't crash on you)
-Direct download link, so no wait time at all
-Password protected links if you want to stop downloads from unauthorised users.
If your interested PM me.
updated with full server details

Hey devs and viewers,
I am a person who likes to try out new ROMs, and I often visit this forum. However, I have recently seen that more devs are uploading their ROMs to multiupload.com, and I would like to say beforehand that I'm not forcing you guys to change, I'm just voicing my opinions. If this is in the wrong forum, please tell me, I just want to have a better downloading experience(if that's what its supposed to be called )
multiupload.com uploads its files to many of the different hosts, such as megaupload, rapidshare, and uploading.to, which imo, are subject to luck(for all, I prefer megaupload the most), and connection of rapidshare often drops. forget about uploading.to, i can't even get it to work. Sure, there are other hosts that it uploads to, such as zShare, but I think downloading a torrent is even faster than it, I get speeds of 5-20kbp/s download speed when my maximum speed is supposed to be 400 kbp/s.
I don't know if this is a only a problem with me, but if there are other people out there who have the same problem, I hope to also voice out them too. Well, here are some suggestions I believe will work imo.
www.mediafire.com (Although I think it might not work in China)
www.sendspace.com (I use this to download my anime, works but there's a 1GB maximum download cap)
www.4shared.com (My most preferred one, there's waiting time, but it works!)
www.dropbox.com
AndroidSpin (I think i requires you to start a thread first, but worth the try)
www.filesavr.com (not very confident)
www.megaupload.com (worth a try, I get full speed, although downloads don't always work, proxies don't too)
THANKS for reading! Have a nice day!
EDIT: Grammar error in title, should be Suggestions for improvement. Sorry!
If dropbox is not being blocked in china or some other country, I'm guessing that'll be the best option to use
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
I've changed the way the site works. It's no longer a repository, instead it's a public uploads section... Anyone can upload anything up to 194MB in size.
Disclaimer: YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU UPLOAD!
There are 3 different ways to upload files:
#1 - As anonymous (no registration needed)
#2 - (Registered) Using Form so it has your name on it.
#3 - (Registered) Using the forums
You can not link directly to the file (I have hotlink protection enabled) But you can link to the file's download page.
The site has Unlimited Space for uploads and Unlimited Bandwidth.
Special Requests
I am open to any requests you might have. If you want your own page on the site, etc. I get really bored so if you want something in particular just let me know and I'll make it for you.
Again uploads can only be 194MB in size and I am not responsible for what you upload.
Public Uploads show up here: http://www.myhangoutonline.com/downloads/category/public-uploads
sounds like a minor warez build up of aptoid
yea, not accepting aptoidism... lol
I fixed the "My Articles" System. Besides your own Repository, regular Members can now post articles like the ones I've posted. You can write your own section tutorials/articles, etc.
Can I put a system.img for the emulator so people can help me test things?
I've changed the way the uploads work. I now let anyone upload whatever they want up to 194MB in size... All uploads show up here: http://www.myhangoutonline.com/downloads/category/public-uploads
If you want to upload something, there are 2 ways of doing it... You can register on the site (free) so whatever you upload has your name on it, you can upload something in the forums OR you can uploads as anonymous by using this form: http://www.myhangoutonline.com/upload-a-file
If you want something in particular I'm open to any requests... you can just PM me here or on my site. Tell me what you want and i'll make it for you, even your own page on the site.
I found this topic over here at the Atrix forum.
I copied/pasted the below quote from the Dropbox forum here.
Hi everyone!
Even though the holidays have passed, we're really stoked to give you guys one more present -- a new experimental release! Under the wrapping you'll find a bunch of new toys, including a brand new Camera Upload feature. Here are the release notes:
• Automatically uploads photos and videos in the background using Wi-Fi or data plan
• 500MB of free space on first photo uploaded automatically
• Upload files of any size (no more 180 MB limit!)
• Support for resuming file uploads when there are network issues
• Various performance improvements & bug fixes
During this beta period, we are also offering additional free space to test automatic uploading of photos and videos. For every 500MB of photos and videos automatically uploaded, you'll receive another 500MB space bonus, up to 5GB total (including the initial 500MB space).
[Update: this space is not separate from 5GB given for uploading on our desktop clients. Uploading from either desktop clients or Android app will count towards the same 5GB free space.]

Since there aren't really any good instructions on how this works I figured it might help to share what I had to do to get the free 500mb
First either download the apk from here. Or get it straight to your phone from this QR code. Both of these links can be found at the Dropbox forum page here (http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=53013).
Once you have the app installed either fresh or over a previous install. Open it. It should take you through the setup as if it was a new install rather than an update. Once the setup was over the app went to a new screen and showed my photos and videos being found and then it began to upload them.
I haven't had a chance to install it on my Iconia yet. But I expect it to work just fine. I'll go ahead and share my Atrix story below. It might or might not happen on the Iconia. If it does just shut down and restart. It should be cool after that.
I did have an issue when running it for the first time on my Motorola Atrix. I went into my settings while it was uploading. When I went back to Dropbox. The app did a funky crash, force close. Then it got interesting. The app opened and wanted to start all over, then closed, then opened and began a loop of that that would not close or allow me to get to settings or anything that would help. I had no issue when pressing the fingerprint button and then choosing to shut down.
After it restarted I went back to Dropbox. I had to log in, but other than that it is running just fine. No more weird loops, fc's or strangeness of any sort so far. And I did get my 500mb right away. I did delete the photos that I tried uploading from my pc earlier and it didn't act like I cheated or anything.
Now hopefully no one minds if I put in a shameless plug.
If you don't already have Dropbox and want to try it please consider using my referral link(http://db.tt/lPgnDhp). Using my referral link gives both you and I an extra 500mb of space when you sign up. It is free!
If you'd rather just go straight to the Dropbox website it is here. http://www.dropbox.com.
Also if anyone else wants to post their referral link below I don't mind at all. We should all go for the max space allowed.
Of course, please support the OP's referral first, but, if he is at the 8GB max, here's my shameless plug/dibs to be next: http://db.tt/lPgnDhp
so sorry guys i would love to help you too.. BUT I have my own web domain . and will stick with my FTP shortcuts ... its fast simple easy and ALL MINE. DID I MENTION UNLIMITED DISK SPACE. And dedicated ip..
Blonde chics have all the Fun Toys..
Hi All,
Apologies for this mundane question but I've been trying for 2 days to download my official 6810 firmawre (P6810ZSLA1_CSC_TGY.exe) so kindly posted by xenix96. It's on FileFactory. Am I the only person here who hasn't got a premium membership to FileFactory? I'm loathe to pay for it as I've never needed it before and will probably only use it the once - so I'll effectively be paying $12 to download the firmware. But in 2 days of trying I've not managed to get a free download "slot".
If you're all using premium then I'll shut-up and stop being so tight and purchase it also. Just wanted to see what everyone else is doing first.
Thx
i have had the same problems as you. For some reason i cant download some files but trying a different file works just fine, its strange.
Took me a few tries as well. Had to try different ISP's, 3G, wifi, mobile broadband, the works.
But hey it's free, so we really can't complain too much.
Though looking for a better file host might be a good idea, if one can be found with all the recent shutdowns.

True if it wont work you can go there and download it
70% of the sammobile.com P6800 Firmwares are added by me
For example i upload actually the Romania Frimware:
P6800XXLA4_CSC_ROM.exe - Last Modified by Samsung: 07.01.2012 <-- In Progess
......in 50 minutes it is on server and you guys can download it from filefactory
but not on sammobile.com maybe tomorrow
You ask now why ?
Cause it is depending when i will add it on check fus server Check Fus webversion 2.0
If i dont add it on Check Fus webversion 2.0 then sammobile.com will not release so fast as i do it.
But i do that to provide more mirrors for the P6800&P6810 Firmwares for all users over the world.
Actually over 600 users downloaded the firmwares since i start this .....and yes Filefactory got at the moment alot maintanance and upgrades.
And if you didnt read my Post Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 GT-P6800 & GT-P6810 ProductCode & HIDSWVER list
...this goes only like this cause some users help me to provide the Firmware stuff for you !! Thanks this this useres by me
Just read following:
FileFactory Support (Support)
What's happening at FileFactory? New update on current problems and future improvements!
Over the past few weeks we have worked tirelessly to resolve upload and download issues. Our engineers have been working 16-18 hour days 7 days a week to resolve all problems. We're glad to say that now we are starting to see results in the form of better operations across the whole site.
We also have many more exciting updates and changes to come so stay tuned, based on user feedback, so we are looking forward to a great 2012.
Here's an update of what's going on:
WEB UPLOADS
Uploads via the web are now much more reliable - our internal testing of hundreds of files last night produced absolutely no errors from small and large files - in total we had 55,000 successful uploads in the past 24 hours
FTP UPLOADS
We recently added ftp2.filefactory.com and are working on making the ftp process faster - FTP problems are normally the result of people uploading huge directories of thousands of (usually small) files without consideration for anyone else - we are working on a way to prevent this from slowing everyone else down. Hint: unless there is a particular reason you need to mirror entire directories, .zip folders instead before uploading
We are also planning on adding more ftp servers in the very near future
REMOTE UPLOADS
We are adding 3 x new remote upload servers this weekend. Again, delays are usually caused by some customers adding hundreds of files at a time which creates bottlenecks and puts everyone else's files in a queue.
ADDITIONAL STORAGE
Our new storage device should come online this weekend
We have 3 x new storage devices arriving next week, which will increase our entire storage capacity by 50%
NEW TORRENT UPLOADER
We are finally rewriting the torrent uploader, starting again from scratch, which will allow for faster downloads of torrents, and you will also be able to choose particular files from torrents instead of having to download the whole torrent. Also most problems are caused by people adding dozens of huge torrents at once so we are working on a way to manage this better as well
NEW TURBO UPLOADER
We are also about to begin rewriting the Turbo uploader - we are going to make this multi-platform so it will run on Windows, Macs and Linux
NEW FILEFACTORY SITE
We are currently revamping the entire FileFactory site, cleaning up page layouts, adding some cool new features and moving our images to a Content Distribution Network to allow faster page load times
NEW FILE MANAGER
Over the next few weeks we are rewriting the file manager - proposed new features include enabling individual files and folders to be password protected, trafficshare enabled, as well as a bunch of great new features. Accounts which have a large number of files will also load much better.
TRANSLATIONS
Over the next few months we are translating FileFactory into many other languages in order to better serve our international customers

Many others like Football offer Firmwares over Filefactory like here [ROMs]HTC Android ROMs over years!
And hes "Thanks Meter" is at 1485 ....so this says for me hes doing well
And its free to download and yes it free from where you download
So feel FREE
Have a nice day ^^
To begin with, I am not entirely sure that our mods will allow this kind of post....
As the title goes,this thread will be about filehosting(FREE OF COURSE),because I cannot help but notice that many of us will host files/images on a site that have so much of limitation if not paid...
And for those who actually benefit from paid filehosting, it is okay,you can go ahead with your method, but for those who with the intention of purely just want to help others, I think it is best if we share this so that hopefully we will experienced less dissapoinments in the future....
As for myself, I have all images that been displayed here been hosted on skydrive, I set a whole new account only for this purpose.The good thing about this is that all of the pictures I have displayed on this site will stay for as long as I live I guess...if not forever...because I also notice for those who have their images stored in Imageshack for an example, it will get expire after certain amount of time.
Besides, I also share all my mp3 files on this account with those I know and yet still I have a plenty of free space because skydrive is so kind and let me have 25gb of storage for free.....but you will have to set the files/folder for public view of course.
But the thing with skydrive is that there are file size limitations of 50mb per file...but you still can host a a small customization there if you want..
And recently, when google launches google drive, and when I tried to upload a file with size of 700mb, it has been uploaded without a hitch,(take note that I have never finishes uploading this file, but I assume it is okay because google never prompt me with anyhting).... it means if I am right, we could even host a custom cooked rom with google drive for free and without time limitations...and with a god speed download rate....heheh
So, I hope this would help others regarding file/image hosting and really wish that I could ease a burden on those who are trying to help others.
However, being a human we often make mistakes if not always, and please correct me I am somehow wrong about what I said earlier.
Thank you all for your opinion and have a nice day.
Skydrive takes 200MB and 500MB via desktop sync...
I use Minus.com for my images, they offer 11Gb, unlimited bandwith and direct links.
I think the upload speed for Skydrive is very slow, uploading a ROM to Mediafire takes less than half of the time.
I have quite a bunch of accounts made for file hosting servers. A few to be named(I'm not sure how much data can you upload at once though ) :
Google Drive 5GB free(Android app available)
Minus 10GB free(Android app available)
Box 5GB free(I have got 50GB, and didn't pay a cent. Just search Xda forums and you'll find different ways to get 50GB)(Android app available)
Wupload 750GB free! Found this from Xda. Unfortunately you can't share files, it's just for personal use...
