Wtf syndicate rom developers

I went to download the new syndicate rom last night and the second I click on the rom download I'm forward to site that downloads a virus into my pc wtf is this some sick joke y'all trying to play on people. I tried to contact the developer and of course I get no response. The developers want you to join some bs irc.com site that offers no help what so ever. So because of trying to download this rom I had to completly wipe my pc clean and do a fresh install of my os.

IRC is Internet Relay Channel, and it's a live site where they provide real-time support. I don't know what virus you're talking about, as I downloaded 1.0.2 a few minutes after they put it out and I got no such thing...
I'm thinking you're overreacting just a touch here. Why don't you head over to their own thread and post your issues there. I'm sure theimpaler will repsond within minutes, as they're support (even here) is pretty top notch if you ask me.

I think I know what he is talking about, I mean not the virus part.. But the download site is free, so it has ads, and if you haven't done this before you don't know which one to click on.
You just have to watch when it comes up and read the file name before you click yes to install and you will be golden.
You should always watch and make sure when doing downloads, for this exact reason. Its not their fault, they are providing a free download..

The "virus" could be CWM as when I wen to download it my antivirus flagged it as an exploit, which it is technically, but not something that will harm your computer.

Whats the name of the virus? because a virus is used to root Android...but its an Android only virus...
Android/Exploit.RageCage.A trojan
is whats used to root

Now the "virus" in question wasn't rageagainstthecagearm5.bin or something along those lines was it? If so, that is the exploit for root. I'm only saying because a lot of people had anti virus flag it as a harmful exploit, which it is not. If it was a true virus... idk. I never download roms on my PC. I just do it straight from my Epic.
Edit: lol we all said the same thing!

LOL, I took this for granted which is why I stated I got no such thing. Yeah, a virus is technically used to root your phone. D$mn those devs for putting that virus in there!!!!
In no way will it hurt a windows machine.

I think a change of title is in order OP.......... Makes ACS look bad that you dont know what your doing

But seriously, at first I did hit one of the "wrong" download buttons and it tried to download a download manager to my pc instead of the rom. while that is not a virus, I thought that might have been what he was talking about, because my antivirus didn't flag it.

agreed, there is two main servers for rom hosting, my own and k0nanes. i assure you that NOTHING on either of those servers has any virus/malware related material
if you clicked on the other links those are offered as web based services mediafire does have ads on it..
on a side note congratulations on winning by being the 1000000th vistor....

Op please change.the thread title. Its bringing.more drama and.flaming. acs didn't do.anything wrong. I've downloaded the.rom and there are no.viruses. why would you make a thread.lime this anyways. Go into the rom and.list there. What goes thru people's heads

Thread closed. The drama in these forums really needs to stop, or I'll stop it for you; and you don't want that. Thank you.

A question for devs, about the lack of find in Rom manager.

Maybe its just me, but I'd like to see Rom manager properly used for our device.
My friend has the ego 4G and when using Rom manager he early goes to xda for his updates or a new Rom because for the Evo devs have it set up so their Rom populated the download section of Rom manager. Also this way when a Rom is updated you get a notification that there's an update.
This would benefit the users of the mt4g because a lot of the Rom downloads and mirrors are not always mobile friendly.
Was just wondering why none of our devs take use of this feature.

Me and RK have been talking about it. I dont know if it will work with the multiupload links, so we need to see how his server is gonna be able to handle the load.
- We do a lot that you guys dont even have a clue we're doing.

i dont doubt that a bit! option, and team royal, are always busy behind the curtains! just thought it was a bit odd that the mt4g roms arent on there... but yall recomend that we do a full wipe every time and ppl may also try to flash via ROM manager rather than recovery and doing a TRUE full wipe as advised... so i can see both sides as wellits all good in the hood homie, just wanted to put in my 2 cents

We could make it work with rom manager, at this point its just a matter of hosting bandwidth and such.

2 things:
1) Load balancing (deals with server issues)
2) How much bandwidth?
I happen to have 3 dedicated servers in EU(London), USA(NY), and USA(CA) and may be able to help. Servers are used for work (not just idle), but it may be enough...
These are windows servers btw.

Backup mirror for U8800 ROMs, CWMs

EDIT:
I no longer own a u8800, neither will I host the download server in the near future. Better host providers exists than my download server. I still have the files (approx. 15-20GB) if anyone else is interested for hosting, though they are most likely outdated by now.

Hi!
I decided that I will host a mirror for everything related to our U8800 - Ideos X5.
It's hosted at my home. I have 20Mbps uplink on FTTH (fiber). The links below are redundant, each link is hosted on a seperate 20Mbps link. I do have some issues from time to time on server.streznik.org, cause it is updating in my OS, while qrac.zapto.org is updated on my router.
I will try to keep things organized and be online as much as possible (I cant guarantee 99% uptime). I am from Europe, so speeds elsewhere may be a bit slow.
And if I helped you getting a file you could not find elsewhere, use the Thanks button.
Primary: http://qrac.zapto.org/
Secondary: http://server.streznik.org/ Please use this only if the primary website is down
Permanently offline!
I switched to Ubuntu server for hosting the mirror, I will add upload function later.
Update 14.3.2012:
Switched to HFS. Everyone can upload, I will sort files later. Developers are not strangers here aswell. No bandwidth capping.
Update 18.3.2012
Added U8800 PRO section per request
Added some statistics at the bottom of the page
Update 21.3.2012
Wow! Over 200 Absolute Unique Visitors in 2 days reported by Google Analytics!
HFS reports over 1200 IP's connected since I began this little project! Few of them are zombies from China, but still!
Update 23.3.2012
New categories, I grouped them because of the increasing vertical size. It takes a second or two longer to find what you are actually looking for (more clicks), but it makes the whole page more compact.
Also added a graph at the bottom of the page (1.8kB), pink is download and yellow is upload.
Update 28.3.2012
All paid apk's have been removed after consulting with the moderator. Free apk's are allowed to be uploaded, while the paid ones will be deleted immediately, on the second occasion that a user will upload a paid apk, I will ban the IP.
Update 5.4.2012
I have changed my phone to Galaxy S i9000(Huawei never again!). I will still host the mirror, but it might not be updated so frequently.
Update 2.6.2012
I've updated ICS Aurora ROM files, as it is the ROM I keep my eyes on.

... Great news for all u8800 users ..
..just a little notice for you.. remove the ''mystuff'' folder, it contains Warez/Illegal files..

Thanks man! That was much needed... roaming the forums in search of download links can be frustrating at times...

There are some important stuff missing though ... for example, the Ezet .32 ROM is much more recent and bug free than genokolar... but this is shaping up to be my main source of downloads

I did not came across that ROM, are you willing uploading the missing files to my FTP server? I will search for it now, but if I dont find a working link, please consider uploading it to my FTP. Thank you!

my stuff folder is now password protected, it should not be an issue anymore

Hi there, there is a missing rom.
Void h..p://db.tt/A43YWM7C
Its based on kernel .32 , froyo 2.2.2 and its flawless "there are no known bugs". You dont have a upload button so i leave the link. Cya and keep the server running.
Sorry for the edited link but as a new user i cant post links...

Added eridanus ROM and ICS 2.0. Still searching for ezet ROM.
I am now working on a upload script.
edit2: ezet CM7 ROM added. Upload script working.

Nice to see you having such work, but you can use a free app named "hfs file server" that is a http server with upload button already included, and other good things like ip update "for services like no-ip".

Please give me feedback on the download speeds. What is your best download speed compared to this mirror?
I tried it on my U8800, I got 2MB/s, not over LAN but Internet. I am worried because I see speeds about 140kB/s, one had 40kB/s. I have overclocked my router for best possible speeds.

I think you are overthinking the speeds of download, let me remind you that a lot of ppl are still atatched to adsl at 12 mb/s even less.
If you browse the forum of hfs you can find little tweaks that can do a little improvment, none the less, i tested and everything went well.
Sorry for the bad english, its not my native language.
Sent from my U8800 using XDA

I want to offer the best possible speeds to everyone, that means even if there are multiple users downloading, they still get their maximum speed. Mediafire is capping downloading to about 800kB/s, which is 1/3 of my speed. I believe there are more people like me, that want their files asap.

Just a little tip, Mediafire only caps download speed when downloading from the site. If I download through a file manager, I can download at the full speed my connection allows, 1,6MBps...

Well, I am currently having VERY slow speeds around 20kb/s, my internet connection is around 8Mbit/s

Well being few thousand kilometers apart does not help...that is why I mentioned "slow" speeds from those who arent from Europe or near EU.
After all, the main reason I had put up this backup mirror, well so it is backup up. Slower speed is better then no speed. Afaik I made everything as fast as possible.

Relax mate. I am not complaining at all! I actually love this because I downloaded SuperOneClick straight away in a few minutes.. I would have spent more time looking around the forum (and clicking broken links) then it took to download.
Keep up the good work mate. It's very organised.

Any possibility to make a U8800 Pro group as well? And you can post the same info in the Pro thread

I made a simple U8800 PRO section for now, I am not that familiar with PRO, + or -51 version, so I would rather stick with just the normal version, so I dont screw anything up .

Hi. I uploaded U8800V100R001C00B136SP02CUSTC205D001.rar. Its Finland b136 Elisa rom. I also linked your mirror in the ideos wiki.

Hi Ohjaaja!
I added and edited the wiki a bit, thank you for linking it. Moved your uploaded ROM to "Stock ROMs".

[Q] Would you use Torrents for ROM's?

As you may see from my sig I maintain torrents of all the ROM's for the Desire S, and it has gone down very well there, people have donated a little money to the idea and I was able to rent and run a seedbox with a 1GB line just for there ROM's, thus giving people a fast and 'free' way to download ROM's
So the question is would people be interested in the same thing for the Note? It costs very little for me to run a seedbox (about $5 a month) and I would happly pay for some/all of this If there was enough interest in the idea?
A few advantages we came up with where
Assuming we would be downloading from a filehost (free)
1) Can pause a torrent
2) Zero waiting time to start download
3) Little to no chance of corrupted file
4) If corrupted only need the file blocks that are damaged
5) Unaffected by timeouts
6) Can seed the file to others (I see it as a +)
7) Could be faster than a free filehost download
If your not sure what a torrent or torrenting is check out the good old wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_(protocol)
This goes to both developers and users, do you want torrents or not?

alot of isp's block torrents so its a PITA to use

This is true, however there are plenty of ways round this. And in some country's the big free download sites don't work or are horribly slow, at least torrents can give fast downloads around the world no matter where they are.
But you are right..guess to sides really

I'd like torrents.
IMO its probably safer because packages are less likely to be corrupted.

I would most definitely use torrents
It means zero waiting time on starting the download, and no more captcha's

Same here. I use torrents around the clock, and it's simply the best way to share big files. I've seen a couple of devs that have started to use torrents instead of those slow and unreliable sharing services, and i'm glad they do.
So my vote goes to YES.

Torrents are great, cant think why not...so Yes

Since all of the hosting site are closing shop, changing there policies or ending up like megaupload. Torrents became my source for files and entertainment.
Im happy im getting back into torrents, forgot how easy it was.

+1 for torrents and the fact I personally use tTorrent on my handset means, I can still download them straight to my phone if and when needed.

Looks like thats a yes then I shall put in a request to add another seedbox to my account and then open a thread in the dev section, whos the mod for the note? So I can ask to get it stickied once its up

Oh christ no, Torrents are good for things which remain the same for a long time, like a movie, but a ROM becomes out of date the moment a new one is released...
Stick to DDL (rapidshare should be used more, I recon). I'd love to use usenet (NZBs) to get ROM's, it fast, no waiting, uploader only needs to 'seed' it once.
Though its only useful to people with a subscription, or if they get it free with an ISP.
It's the developers ROMs though, so really they can upload them where they wish!

Best file hosting site?

What is the best file hosting site... My personal priorities (no specific order): no file size limit, fast DL speeds for people tryna DL your files, fast upload speeds, FREE, be able to access files on the go and on y computer (computer+mobile app).

My personal favorite way to share files is torrents. If its not practical for whatever your needs are im also a fan of dropbox, mega , and 4shared. Not sure what the file limits on the sites are. I typically use torrents for anything over 500 mb.

Well it doesnt really matter what tracker you upload it to. As youd still have to seed it. You could upload to thepiratebay, isohunt , etc. I have a desktop setup at home that I seed from.

Thanks man. 4Shared had a 200MB file upload cap so I deleted that account. But Mega is pretty legit and is allowing me to upload my 1.5 GB backup of my ROM so I'm pretty happy with this so far! Dropbox was WAYY to slow to upload and download.
