I have set up a serverspace where you can post your roms, cabs, tweeks etc etc.
You will get your own subdomain and ftp account. You will also be able to use a crm etc of your choice..
All this I'm willing to offer for free, since I love cooked roms, and don't have the knowledge to help with the develop.
If you are interested just PM me with an request. Please include why I'll give you a free account.. (I'm not hard to convince.. )
Of cause appreciate a donation to be able to keep this service open and free.
Im offering too my serverspace to allocate files
My server is in Colombia (SOUTH AMERICA), i hope my location will help to get files faster (if ur location is closer to my country, well.. u can allocate here)

I know, I know, I know. I'm not paying, so I shouldn't complain.
However, I think we can agree that rapidshare is the opposite of efficient for ROM distribution.
Since I'm no coder myself, just an end user (with an engineering degree in telecoms), for me to set up a good solution myself doesn't exactly strike home eighter.
However, we have some VERY capable coders here. And we have a lot of end users with some bandwidth to share. Is there a chance we can set up an rss-based downloader (using bittorrent to distribute roms), and then simply tell regular downloaders to get the torrent file? (And thus save this site bandwidth and storage, and end users gray hairs over downloads that are SLOOOOOW). Setting up a Diamond "rom-farm" spread over the internet would solve a lot of problems. I know _I_ can prolly share half of my 8mbit (on average), and I think there are others out there who can share aswell, giving this group a good potential (and if we can get other groups to cooperate we can prolly increase bandwidth and spread over the internet).
Bittorrent is ideally suited to this work, especially if we have a few "always on" seeding-servers.

This is a very good idea.
I'm on a 100MBit, so that won't be a problem.
I also have a spare dual opteron server lying around.
I've seen that tom (who has a Latvian hosting) also has some good bandwidth.

What we basically need:
1. Someone with a *nix box on a low-latency (bandwidth isn't an issue, latency is) link, willing to run "our" tracker, and set up the needed accounts for uploads, and set up the tracker to rss-feed the seeder servers.
2. Several people willing to run seeder servers. These need bandwidth. The seeder servers should run in rss-fed full automatic mode.
From what I've seen (between the lines) in the posts on this forum, getting people willing to give bandwidth shouldn't be a problem. What we need is a decent tracker software (I'm open to any suggestions), and some template for setting up the seeder servers.
Am I missing anything? Who volunteers to make the tracker? (I can volunteer to run it, and to make sure latency is ... acceptable on the link. I'm a pedantic millisecond-centric ex netadmin. Ex because of health.)
//Svein
this is a great idea. If i can help in any way I will.
The dual opteron box I was talking about is running gentoo linux.
I will have to reconfig it though.
I can take care of most of the setup during the week-end (if I stay home don't go on the potential trip I planned).
Let's take care of all the suggestions via this thread / pm.
What a great idea

I was a net admin for 4 years so I know how you feel.
^.^
Try testing adwinp.org and see if the latency suits your needs (it should; we are on a 10GBit backbone).
^.^
Well this seems promising! While this whole thing gets in place, as a sort of alpha tryout, how about using public trackers such as thepiratebay for example? And have a wiki page with up to date torrent links.
wow great idea =)
only suggestion here is maybe change the title of this thread xD
I uploaded torrents for the radios and Elite ROMs.
Links are available on the Diamond Radio wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_ExtractedRadioRoms
and the Diamond Elite ROMs wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_Elite_ROMs
It should work.. normally... and be faster than rapidshare once we get seeders.
Time to flash Elite 3.0 now
If you already have the files, don't download them again! Just copy them to the torrent download directory, like that your torrent will be 100% complete and you will be able to seed and help others download faster.
Have added the 5 torrents to my local box.

Torrent sharing is great. I'll help!
The site duttythroy.net will be mostly unavailable for this day as the site is getting moved to a other cluster.
This will also hopefully fix the problem people from outside the EU have with downloading. Please bare with us ^^
And thank especially daride for his hard work to make this happen He uploaded the V1.2 Full as well to rapidshare, so you can download it here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/133889808/Ruu_Signed_Dutty_s_Diamond_5.2.20273_V1_2_Full.zip
Some technical details:
The server is getting moved from it's current cluster to a new cluster which provides better speed a better uplink.
More details about what a cluster is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_(computing)
This is mainly done to help solve the problem for the asian (and other folks as well) not being able to download.
After the site is back I will wait a other 12 hours before asking if anybody is still having download issues.
Please know that these "24 hours" are because of the DNS system changes. The nameservers have changed, so that's why it's taking some time.
*end of technical stuff*
Also I would kindly ask to donate to me for hosting Duttythroy, currently the site absorbs around of 50GB of traffic a day. This is fully payed by my company (prox-media). And all money donated will be used for providing even a better download place.
Also if enough is downloaded I will open a "public download area" where all ROM developers can put there roms for free.
In the meanwhile, bare with us!
The problem has been fixed and the site is backup.
If anyone is still having trouble downloading from duttythroy.net please kindly write a private message to me with this information:
Your country of residence.
Your internet service provider.
Do you can see the actual website or not?
I hope it was worth all the fuz ^^
I was just wondering would anyone be interested in free file hosting for your ROM/s. What i ask in return is...well...donations...i may ask for a favour in return at a later date or something?
I'm giving chefs and application developers this as a way of saying thanks for all their hard work. That, plus im sick of the slow transfers of dodgy file share/hosting sites like rapid$hare and [email protected]
What you get:
-Free FTP account so you can upload your files with UNLIMITED storage/data transfers.
What you need to do:
Visit www.intertubes.info and read the front cover and shoot me an e-mail or PM on here and let me know why you deserve an account, and it will all be set up for you and i'll e-mail/PM you back with how to get started
At this stage i'll start with a limited number of seats.

Thinks is a very good offer which I really appreciate however bl0w is doing exactly the same thing at the moment and is doing a fantastic job of this. I'm not sure wether there will be a demand for this as we are very happy with bl0w's services.
See what the other chef's say anyway. I guess you can't have enough mirrors!

I'm willing to work side by side with bl0w, presuming that they're happy to do so...i haven't seen enough non-rapid$hare type links to be satisfied

Thanks again for your contribution!

Sadly no...they're like millions per month. I basically just had the site for some file-storage stuff, and though i'm not going to use it all. I usually get awesome speeds off it anyways. So it's a win win situation i say!

I can offer 100Mbit hosting, yet there's no point in it since someone else is already doing a very good job at it.
My suggestion: You can always contat bl0w in order to rsync his server to yours, and that would be exactly this: mirroring.
Then again, what's the point in this, or even load balancing?
It's not like he gets overloads.

Please write here - what candidate to hosting place or mirror you wanna see?
Whose have interesting kernel, or rom \ script \ app \ and need mirror for files without difficult access to share file service?
I have been "leeching" from XDA for a while now and I want to give something back to XDA.
I have a webhosting business. I am not really doing anything with it at this time. I was thinking about opening it up for XDA members for file hosting.
I HATE RapidShare and other "free" sites like it... I wouldnt do anything more than some banner ads on the site, maybe some GoogleAdSense... Nothing intrusive... I promise...
Would anyone use this COMPLETELY FREE SERVICE?
Im setting it up now, 100MB for RAR and ZIP, 50MB for CABS
www.FarBeyondHosting.com
That is a very nice idea! It would be great for this great site.
I join ya! - I absoluty HATE Rapidshare too, most of the time it's busy or I'll keep on countin' the seconds
The adds are no problem, when there aren't a lot - that is...
Most of the rom's are above 100mb though...
WC
Yep file limits may not be the best but its a great idea... thanks for sharing
I have to admit, I dont know what kind of files sizes are needed for the ROMS.
I have used the roms for the 8525, and the tilt, and now the Raphael/Fuze... And those are generally less than 100MB...
What would a good size be? 200? I have unlimited space on that server...
Thanks a lot
I think this is a good idea!
btw has anybody thought how many roms there are published here?
Lol, I was just coming to post the same topic, I have unlimited space and bandwidth if I need it, do you have any bandwidth limits?
I've started hosting files for the android/kaiser project but haven't moved out into the rest of the site so far.
My idea was to just register under a username (hopefully associated with your xda account) and upload your files without size limit (unless it's over 1GB?) and also provide a link for users to view all your posted files/ROMs etc.
Seeing you're already looking into this, maybe I'll still do it, maybe I won't :-D
BTW, thanks for giving back!
Well i have my own physical server in a UK datacenter. Physical as in if i wanted to i could go there and pick it up etc.
It's an intel xeon quad core server with 4gb ram and loads of space!
It's hosted on a dedicated 100mbit connection, with offsite backups located in the USA.
Those intrested ping fbdn.net we run ESXI so basically emulating OS's for better performance etc
I dont see a problem with hosting these files will check my datacenters TOS and AUP in a sec
I have a very fast internet connection and a Payserver for acces to Usenet.
I wonder if there any developers out there who are interested in having their ROM(s)
uploaded to usenet?
For those who do not know what this is, this a platform where people can upload
and download their (in this case) files from and to newsgroups. The speed is as high
as your ISP can handle, if using a Payserver which i have.
If there is interest in this, let me know, i'd be willing to take some time and effort
to uploading your ROM to usenet.
Greetings,
Dutchman
