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...

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

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:
I noticed that the site, as well as having forums and a wiki, has its own FTP server that's open to users. Just in case people didn't know, it might be a good way to get useful, free software to users without using rapidshare and services like that.
If there's a historical reason why people don't use it, I wouldn't mind knowing that too.

you talk about it now act apon it give us the FTP IP address.
It's in the wiki. There's not much in the Excalibur directory right now. That's why I asked.
Edit: Did some homework on the FTP site. It seems someone totaled it back in '06 and it hasn't been the same since. The Kaiser guys use it more than anyone else, but the way it's set up, uploaders send files to an upload section and a moderator moves the approved files into the available-for-download section. From this perspective, I guess things like rapidshare and mediafire would be better options for people getting software out. It's just not always so obvious which characters have the damned cat on them.
Great stuff so far on there, you guys rock!

On the other hand you can pm myself, lukybandit or mikey1022 the rapidshare link and one of us will "take one for the team" and deal with the kitty cats for the purpose of putting it on the ftp.... or course only as long as the upload is necessary
I was just thinking it would save hunting through threads or asking "can you give me a link to that file?" or "that link's expired" or "rapidshare says my max has been reached for free users" etc. etc.
In this way, just like most of the pertinent information is"check the wiki," finding the right file in a hurry would be "check out the ftp site!"
But yeah, it's a little more work for all parties involved just to have everything in one, easy-to-find place.
EDIT: The link for the download section is ftp://xda:[email protected]/smartphones/Excalibur
The login/password given for the upload section (xdaupload:xda) doesn't seem to be working.
I was thinking along the lines of supporting the FTP site awhile back when I discovered the Wiki. Seems like it would be a more logical way to store Excaliber files. I had major problems trying to upload and finally gave up. Maybe your thread will get the FTP going.
Update 5/28 noon 30
I am uploading right now, however I never thought that I should create an uploading directory until today. That way if I am uploading files like I am now, someone doesnt start downloading and they get a bad file. So with the exception of what I am doing now, from now on anything I upload will go into a temp dir then I will transfer to its proper place.
I am going to work on an FTP for anon uploading, give me some time, I am concerned about Malware, trojens, and other malicious acts by people on the web, I want this to be a safe place for all Android users to access files for their devices.
I am also considering adding 3-5 more devices to the mirror, but I would need to get the Anon FTP up first, my upload speeds suck so damn bad.
Also, I might just add that Wiki that droid512 suggested, and let whomever has more time and knowledge admin it. 2 kids, broken back, severely damaged arms/hands and being on pain meds ALL the time screws up my ability to jump on the puter and help out.

Link to Mirror
Open Directory is enabled.
http://www.blackmugmedia.com/Android/GT/Mirror/
Update 5/25 11pm
Open directory browsing is enabled for www.blackmugmedia.com/Android/ I figured it would be alot easier to be able to go through the different directories and locate any file you may need.
I am still uploading, my home connection sucks, 768 up.
Right now I am setting up my server hosted on fatcow with a mirror of all gtab roms, kernals, stock recovery, etc. Organized in directories for GSM, cdma, and wifi.
I would like to enable anonymous uploading, however....I am a security freak, so for right now ill upload everything I have for my cdma Verizon tab, then start downloading GSM and wifi files to place on the server.
If you are a Dev and want your project mirrored, send me a pm with a link and ill grab it and upload it.
I will update this post with links to the directories a little later today when I have enough stuff uploaded.
Effective today....these files will stay for the next 3 years.
If I can find a way to allow anonymous uploading and still have high security, I will update this post.
Mods, feel free to sticky if you like

Why dont you install a hosting/upload script and then create user accounts for devs who wish to use the service.

Ok look buddy, all that **** went over my head like a 747. ha ha, yeah. Web stuff, I dont get it.
However...I was going to give Devs FTP accounts like I did for Spacemoose, but I posted it in the "General" section and I dont think it was seen by any devs.
So, tell you what, if you care to, give me a call, help me get what you suggested a go, and mabe make it a little easier? I dunno. All I know is I dont have money I can spare to donate, but I do have 3 years of hosting paid up and my domains attached to the server, so......I figured it would help alot.
Oh, updated OP with links/structure... etc.
Well tbh im not really an expert in hosting. If I want a website I just get a webhost with Cpanel etc then upload the script I want to use/configure/install it.
I wouldnt really know bets place to start on a raw dedicated server or VPS as im more a windows guy and bets software like cpanel etc is linux based afaik.
Do you have any hosting software installed or is it just a raw server with OS? And how much traffic and bandwidth did you get with your 3 year hosting?
Im hosted through Fatcow. Ive had this hosting plan for the past few years, never really used it.
Its Linux, Cpanel, all set up. Really just need to familiarize myself with it again, as I haven't looked at it in 2 years.
Ive done 1 FTP account so far, takes like 2 minutes to do, spent time creating directories for the hosting of roms/kernals/recovery/apps, etc. Just slowly chipping away at uploading what I have, then I will start downloading files from this forum if they still exist, then put them up on the mirror.
Open directory is active now, figured it was the easiest option for people to scroll through.
So, I guess I started something that will probably end up being very big, as once the Tab is all uploaded, then I start on the Droid X, then I'll pick a device to start with. Hell, as far as I am concerned, Ill host a mirror and repository for all Android Devices.
I have unlimited bandwidth and space, I informed Fatcow of my intention, they thought it was cool, said I was ok and I started.
this is awesome man I appreciate it. i vote sticky but i also vote a vzw wiki since theres totally not enough stuff for cdma tabs

I was searching through some of the scripts fatcow offers me, well besides the chat room thing I installed just to make my wife laugh, but a wiki add on, so yeah, its possible if someone wants to admin it I can put it up.
If anyone feels the directory structure should be different than what I came up with, please feel free to jump in and say so. I'm not going to get all butt sore because the world of android users think that my gift could benifit from a better layout.
Also, I think I will indeed instal that wiki page, if a few of you more experienced uber nerds want to admin the wiki, shoot me an email or pm and ill get you set up. I would do it, but my entries would probably be lame, and wrong.

Hey man,
Will you please upload modems i posted to your directory? Is it ok. I am just saying since you never know what free file hosting sites will do to your files. Just look at dropbox latest policy changes
I can certainly put the modems up. I was busy the past 2 days, decided to give Ubuntu 11.04 a spin, and was digging it so much I forgot to do other stuff. So ill get back to making directories and uploading today.
And what do you mean modems you posted to my directory?. Am I not fully awake yet?. I'm confused.

My modems are on mediafire. Its stickied to this forum. Since free file hosting are dodgy maybe you can put them up.
I saw this posted the other day and bookmarked the page with link. been busy with work the last 2 days and didn't have time to get on my pc until now. However, it seems that due to a bunch of stupid posts about pirating paid apps, the dev has pulled all links! I could be wrong but i've looked everywhere i could think and it always goes back to his updated page saying he has to stop this! I don't want this to steal from anyone, just like "most" of the people on this site! I think this would be extremely useful! If anyone who was able to download it could package and post it or even just email it to me(if you don't want everyone to have) I would be very thankful!!!!! Thx for ur time and any help u can give!
I also need this.. Hope someone had a copy of the extention. TIA
