Funny HA, HA
The FTP SIte has been trashed.
Both Kitchens are gone
The Extended rom folders is gone
And a load of other folders to.
Well that was 2 months of hard work up the swany
Funny HA, HA NOT!
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Who would do something like that...this is rediculous...!
I think it is time the ftp gets locked....but then again, I am not in charge.
Another idea I had was to CHMOD directories...posted that in another post. Best way really is to not allow anyone access to ftp, and post the links to the files in a thead here on the forum.
I am really disappointed...I do have several ROMs downloaded, so let me know if I can help ya, MDAIIIuser.
Well I have pm peter in the hope that there is a backup.
Well that is what I did, posted every file in wiki, applicatins, ext roms, kitchen files, the lot, All gone.
Surely it is backed up and just needs restoring. Some may be missing but most would be there
I will help you rebuild it...if you want.
This is not normal...crap...I just had a look, and indeed...a ****load of stuff is gone.
Have Peter check the FTP logs...we might be able to trace this back by IP to the guilty party.
Well can you PM him with that Idea, dont think he will wont to read a 2nd Pm from me.
I am uploading what i can into a folder. it will need sorting out not a huge amount of stuff but all i can help with. I think somebody did a move rather than a copy in windows. can it not be set to read and write only and not change
I have downloaded the ext. Roms of all german Providers. If theres no backup, tell me, and I will upload them.
I have sent out to PM to the admins, lets wait untill we get somefeed back before we start uploding to much.
Somebody will have to create the Dirs so that the wiki links work again and I am realy not up to it any more, its been to much work that I have just seen go down the tube, to much work that I have done alone.
I leave this up to the admins and the GREAT HELPFUL XDA-Forum users.
kitchen 1-22
I can restore 1-22 for you if you like.
Have most files here.
This is not funny.
The folders should be read only.
What i had from kitchen 1-22 is back now
kpn files are missing also.
I have put as much to the site as I have......reckon it maybe safer to make read only and have a moderator(s) who can upload????
I added bleuttoh cabs, and Varous cab upgrades and progs...
R
hi havealmost all the things in bluenagel folder.. if anyone wants i can up it.. though i did it over sometime and dont exactly have the index
who the heck wod do such a terrible thing????
Some A***LE who is probably reading all this while he/she plays with themselves! Sorry....had to say it!!! :x :evil:
I have the Siemens SX66 stuff from the ERK if you need it.Just let me know,and I will upload it later tonite.

I had some ROM can be unload let me know which good time to do
Can we set up some of system which file allow new user to download and some of file allow more poster to download file,I saw some of web site in Taiwan or China had this kinds system,if post one get one piont ,upload get 5 piont or 10 piont , set up some of file only allow some piont can be download that maybe will take care this problem or just use PM to ask to link download.
hi
totally disagree with with mwang..
i hate that system and think its not suitable for this great sites users..
what we all can be is a bit more responsible as far as the ftp is concerned..with making the files read only so that no one but moderators can change the file structure.. or something.. maybe a moderated seperate upload download areas can help further
just my 2 cents
I totally agree with zohaer21 about the files.They should be a read only type of file. I hate to see these kind of things happen, but there are just some people who get off on screwing things up.

Hi
Sorry to hear about the FTP site. I use mirrordir on my sites to push changes to a closed FTP box daily in the small hours off a cron job. Its pretty configurable and only sends changed files etc. I do it to avoid saturating my ADSL link - upload jpgs into ISP webspace daily, and have site link to them instead of local copies.
For backup/anti-tosser purposes, you prob dont need this - why dont you just write a simple script to copy the ftp site outside the ftp/http root once a day? Least then you can just copy it back in afterwards. All depends on available space, I know.
Nigel
Writing a new script for this is not needed. There are tons of scripts/proggies out there that can do this, no reinventing the wheel...
But I think the idea is excellent...keep originals on ftp, and update whenever needed to http location/folders.
So, We mirror this site to one of our own privat sites?
Sure it works but we all move on, get new toys and show no intrest. Who is going to do the admin on that.
Well my status is that I have two PM to two Admins that reamin in my outbox.
I am posting to a forum that is moderated but no admin has seen this thread.
I am truely gratful to the upload of the 1.22 kitchen, *vastloper*, thanks
Wiki needs to following folders
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Extended_Roms
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Extended_ROM_Kitchen_1_3X
Sure we need a few of the others but those were linked in wiki.
The problem is that if we reupload all this stuff who is going to clean it up?
The wiki team has been writing in wiki for over 2 months and I (MDAIIUser) have only ever seen 2 other contributions by none team members to that site in all that time. (bar the correcection of my bad spelling which still can be seen all over the place).
Ever wondered why we have so many threads on BT, and no links in wiki for that?
Sure this is a great site if you are looking for something but it is only as good as the amount of work that goes into it by us all. The tools are there, the info is also in the forum, but it cant be upto a team of 3 to post all of it, clean up the ftp site and act as admins with NO rights to insure that the work that has been done does not get trashed by some %&/ (*hdbueller* Great comment, got your device to work again?).
Sorry, my thoughts,
...should at least fix what (s)he has broken.
Don't take it wrong: the FTP needed structure. But it also needs content.
Triggered by some posts from members that indicate they could not find files on FTP is just noticed al lot has gone!
This creates quite an issue for the forum: al lot (if not all!!) posts with ftp links in them do not work anymore. Leaving people who need a certain file desperately. This is not the way it should be done.
To the one that changed the FTP: PLEASE restore it or at least fix all the links in the forums to FTP
BE A SPORT, FIX WHAT YOU HAVE BROKEN
(plz dont mention one should have used the file upload facility on the forum, because that one has not been functioning for large files for some time)
Hum that sure adds value...
Well the ftp site has been trashed a few times.
The thread on that subject is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=100072#100072
and was Found on wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FTP_Site
Our Ftp site
Has a general upload area that has write for the upload user and thus also delete.
Has a restricted area (the rest of the site) that only has read for the xda user.
- The Idea is to move the files from the General Upload area to the safe restricted area.
- This is done by a few of us (Moderators and ftp admins).
A list of which can be found on wiki.
- If the file is not on the restricted site then its been deleted and who ever did it is not going to tell us.
- If its on the restricted site and a link is broken its due to the fact that some moderator has taken the time to move it to that safe place.
Reason why I moderator might not fix a broken link.
1) He does not own that device
2) He is not intrested in that device as he does not own one
3) He does not read all the threads of the device as he is not intrested in it as he does not own it. (think I will stop here).
The mods are users just like you the reader of this, they are not paid for it and do not work for xda-developers.com.
They do it for they are intrested in the subject mater.
They do it to add value to the site
And for that they are given.
A ftp passoword and thus they can move files
Modorators account rights : The can move a thread to the correct area, delete posts or threads and remove links to cracks.
All of this work they do for free and in thier own time.
If the modortator would not move files from the upload aread then they would get deleted and we would have broken links and also no files.
Now if I had a Wizard then I would
BE A SPORT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=264736#264736
Same is also true for a few other devices.
sorry if I offended you. Not my intention!
I was just frustrated that the ftp got trashed again. Its just that i have uploaded stuff more than once and it all just seemed to stay in the upload area (where it can be deleted ofcourse). This is ofcourse due to the fact (i know now!) that there apears no admin for at least the Wizard files
I am more than happy to become an admin for the Wizard related stuff. just missed your earlier post on that. And i do qualify.
plz pm me if youre still looking
What a sport
Sorry if I sounded offended I was truly not (I was just pissed off Hehe)
Wellcome to the ftp admins and Thanks for your help.
Check your pm.
Hey MDAIIIUser. I would love to "Be a sport" and help fix this entire site. I would even be willing to dedicate my time to take care of things that didn't personally interested me! Or even organize files for 'gasp' a device that i don't own!
Now would you be interested in a full time ftp mod for a while that will go through and fix everything? I'm up for the job and i have the time. (not to mention i'm tossing around the idea of reserving this domain name when it expires this year, or maybe mirroring the site)
I honestly think i would be a valueable assest to your cause.
thanks.
Jonathan
P.s. I can be just as condescending as you. :twisted:
Can't you just host the ftp site in a country where it is legal to host such files like rom's and other stuff that is in the ftp site?
To avoid the need of taking down every rom on there because of what miscrosoft says?
sorry for my poor english!
Regards

That would only bring more problems. And the cost would be $$$
Just move rom to emule!!
Emule rules!
Isn't posting links to copyrighted material considered infrigment too?
In many countries at least.
Torrent or eMule would not be bad.
The Link can either made be inactive (not clickable, you have to paste it) or if the file name is well-defined you can use the search function...
dont know if anyone has ever used #xbins to get xbox applications but the xbos-scene forum then never needs to link to anything and #xbins is almost unspoken of but everyone knows to look there. couldn't we set something up like that?
For those that have never used it you just login to the IRC channel and get a welcome message telling you to message a bot, which if you do you get a username (your irc alies) and password and a link to the FTP server, your username only then has access to the FTP while you are in the IRC channel.
dunno if that would help anything, we'd still need another ftp server setup but it would then be disassociated from xda-dev

Ok, i dont know about anyone else but im getting fed up with the standard ringtones, message tones, notifications etc etc.
This can be the thread where we all contribute to getting everyone some decent sounds on there Hermes!
Feel free to add any sounds for any purpose, im sure someone will appriciate yours!
LoL.. I see you hooked up on rings..
Well.. here I will share mine.. I got a lot more but those can`t be shared since they are commercial..
But the free ones I collected are here..
There is a folder named "Made by Shamanix".. in there are rings that I`ve made out of couple of songs that I like very much ( music that I personally listen to )
They are kinda little too big ( only 2 of them ), but I am not in the mood to edit them now..
Tell me what you think
http://rapidshare.com/files/67582139/Shamanix_Rings.zip
Enjoy..
Theres some good ones in there matey! The msg one is good but a bit long lol.
Started the thread well!
nice thread... err... i will find some nice ones too and post it here
Here's a little something...
...I put together a while back. It is also a bit large, but it works as a ringtone, and also as an alarm from within PhoneAlarm (where I use it to let me know when my train has arrived at my station).
It is a small clip from the Dark Side of the Moon Album by Pink Floyd ... many of you might remember the bells/clocks sequence just before the song "Time".
That album was always one of my favs, and as such, I clipped this out to use as an alarm.
Hopefully, I'm not breaking any copyright laws by posting it here. If I am, PLEASE Mods, go ahead and delete it.
-pvs
I like the Nokia dead one.
But does anyone have the same concept but for a regular old school telephone ring?
Anybody back up their WM5 rings?
I'm missing some of the stock WM5 rings (like "fantasy" which I used for phone calls). Maybe someone out there backed up their WM5 files? Or can somehow upload some of the stock from their prior build?
The Windows Mobile Extras site has some free ones that are alright. I use the Halo theme from there. It's much fun.
here some i made for me and the wifey..about 30 of them. Also included 2 message tones: Homer "mail call" and star trek's "incoming transmission

When I get around to it I'll stick some up that I've found....
Such as R2D2? Robin Williams GMV holler, some of the simpsons and that sort of stuff
But I could do with some basic rings too
Hi all developers!
One thing I have thought about for a while is, why do you upload ROMs and other files to uploading sites like Rapidshare? For me who doesn't have a Rapidshare Premium account this means a lot of waiting.
Just thinking, why not create a torrent of the files? I suppose 99% of everyone here has a torrent client, and if not, uTorrent is not that hard to install .
This would also help the speeds alot, I would at least happily help you seed the files here on my 100/100 fibre connection.
Just some thoughts..
EDIT:
Also I would like to say thanks to all you developers, you do a great job!
Because downloading torrents to phone would be harder than just downloading the files from a FTP or a hosting site!
Just my opinion...
i think thats a good idea!
hate rapidshare n all those sites.....most of the time i download the file on my computer anyway n then transfer it to my sd...

This. I personally download ROM's straight to my phone, unless I can be arsed to edit them first. The wait of 40 seconds to download a file is nothing really. Plus using the author's Rapidshare accounts could actually benefit them.

Yea same here, never thought about downloading to the phone directly tbh. So much easier to do on the computer .
Still, why not use both? The torrent would at least be a great mirror.
It would be really show for the first few people downloading the file, then a lot of people would just download the torrent and not upload anything so it would end up downloading at the upload speed of the creator
Plus it means a lot more uploading

Well thats just bad behaviour by the leechers then...
The good thing with torrents is that the developer don't have to seed at all, just provide the .torrent. Then someone who downloaded it elsewhere can seed it for him (or her.. ). Like I said, I can provide 100 mbit/s up speed at my home and I am sure a lot of other users here would help out too
To be fair, it's a lot of hassle for developers to set it up on a tracker to just get downloads.
File hosts like RapidShare and MediaFire etc, you're always going to get a good download speed so what difference does waiting 30-40 seconds make?

Hehe, I'm maxing out like 100-200 KB/s from Rapidshare and nearly 12 MB/s using torrents...
I'm sorry but I can't see the problem, it is definetly not more work to create a .torrent file (just use a public tracker). The .torrent file is so small that it won't be a problem to host it somewhere, maybe even directly on the forum.

Cause that would mean a lot of people just downloading from the developer. With a .torrent you could spread out the files in a much better way and distribute the bandwidth.
But like I said, these are just mine $(2*10^-2)...

Wouldn't matter, first upload the torrent to a (few) seedbox(es) (community will happily provide these I suppose). Once its done, turbo speed for everyone.

Thanks, both these things are what I was thinking about
I have a computer in a wardrobe working only as file/torrent server so there is at least one seed box for the community.
I am a new member so I had to delete the link from your post, dough.
Well - back up a few months i tried to do exactly that. I seeded the Villain files until 4-5 had it, and because every one else's connection was better than mine ppl didnt download from me anymore - and speed would pick up on the file across P2P
I used uTorrent and created the torrent from within that program and uploaded the torrent to my own website - worked a charm once i had all the settings right...
i think it's a good idea - if not then as a mirror for the RS and Mediafire websites...
Once a couple of 100 mbit upload has gotten hold of the file it will be fast!!!

Aren't you guys jumping the gun a bit on this? How about selecting another provider? Rarhost, dropbox, Adrive.com are other free alternatives Ive used in the past.
Or even Google Sites/Code/Doc etc

Just thought that torrents has some benefits and could be considered... Nice to hear all your opinions
Wuala can be a good alternative to rapidshare or megaupload, it has 2GB for free, or you can share your HD free space for add free space to your account on Wuala. Also can be possible do a groups for sharing, on HTCMania we have created one for files for HTC Desire and another for APKs
http://www.wuala.com/HTC_Desire
http://www.wuala.com/APKs_Android
Everyone can access from web, or using Wuala client using Windows/Linux/Mac and with notifications for new files added.
