Hey everyone, I'm Nathan's (nprussel) ftp host. I was reading through all of your posts in the official Villain thread and saw that some of you had very disappointing download speeds, while others were completely fine. I'd like to use this thread to help me analyze the server load to try and make the next release go smoother.
My server is based on a 100mbps backbone, with 1gbps burst available (obviously during mass downloads like with the release the burst speed will be used up almost immediately).
What I'd like to know is what country you live in, what your download rates were, how long it took you to download the whole thing, and what time you downloaded it GMT. This isn't just for the people who had slow speeds; I'd like to hear from everyone who tried downloading it.
In about 4 hours, I should have some additional server log info to help me with the analysis as well. Hopefully all of this will allow me to setup a better system for distributing the releases.
Update: Thanks for the info so far everyone, it looks like everything is working fine now. I'm mostly interested in the people who downloaded it just as it was released (around 1500 GMT). It's looking like there were about 100-150 people trying to grab it at the same time which caused some bottlenecks.
Isn't it smarter to post that into his topic. And mabye ask NPrussel to post hit into his first post near his download links?
Not meaning to hi-jack your thread, but I'd just like to say thank you for your generousity with the hosting.
I no longer have to upload to 4Shared (phew).
Thanks again.

Hey Nathan, I also wanted to ask you, do you know if the slow upload speeds you mentioned were on your end or my end?

My end. I've been having issues with my ISP for some time.
I have actually downloaded the ROM from Sheffield, UK today on a friend's generally stable connection, which typically downloads at 400kbps, and I was getting 80kbps, fyi.

HI to all developers on XDA ! I hope you all are fine! I just wanted to request you guys that If possible then can you upload your future roms to megaupload ??? because it has got resume support! you know on unreliable connections its very risky to download files greater than 100mb without resume support!
Myself and a lot of other people around here will be very thankful to all of you!
Anything that's not RapidShare is great, because they always seem to be “full”.
the reason we upload to rapidshare is so we can get points for the downloads of our files, which we can convert to getting us premium priviledges, it will allow us to store the files on the server till the premium status expires.
mediafire ftw

Or, like regular developers, we could upload them to sites actually meant for hosting code, sourceforge, github etc.
If We try then everything is possible! Anyways all other file hosts EXCEPT RAPIDSHARE are GREAT!!! Atleast BETTER than rapidshare.

try jdownloader. java cross platform, set it up and hav it running in tray. whenever you come across a rs link just copy it to clipboard, open jdownloader and confirm, then just wait, no more interaction. you don't even have to open the rapidshare website in your browser.
edit: works for ~100 hosters, not only rapidshare. really great tool, i use it at the time.
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)...

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.
For those of you who have been disappointed with the compression that T-Mobile applies to images downloaded across their mobile network, there is now a solution!
Go to accelerator. t-mobile. co. uk (sorry, can't post links yet) in your Desire's browser and choose from one of three options:
Highest speed = reduced image quality (recommended)
High speed = standard image quality
Lower speed = original image quality (not recommended)
Obviously, choosing original image quality means pages will load slower and use more data so it won't be for everyone, but at least it stops pictures from looking like a fuzzy mess .
According to this thread (support. t-mobile. co. uk/discussions/index?page=forums&topic=801038047a8ee12012a7f988ce0007fbe) at the T-Mobile support forums this may also work on other phones but you may have to spoof your user agent.
KazeXT; thank you, been waiting for a solution for this for a while now!
Oh my god!
many thanks!
to you and all your descendants!!!
thank you very much for this
edited off.
Looks like the site is down and my images are crap quality again. I hope they haven't shut it down for good!

I checked the site again just now and it still seems to be there. Remember, you need to access it from the browser of the phone you want the settings to affect (presumably using the data connection rather than wi-fi). That's how I understand it at least...
Yeah its back now. It was just down a few hours thanks.

At last! YAY!!!
Thank you T-Mobile (for once) and KazeXT for finding this! Seems to be exactly what they should have provided long ago
I wonder how long the setting lasts though, is it permanent until you decide to change it again or does it reset at each reconnection/after some other period of time?

Hmm, weird. And you accessed it with WiFi off and on the T-Mobile network, not whilst roaming onto Orange? I accessed it about an hour ago and it worked fine for me...
Right - wifi off. Nobody said that! But I realise how stupid I've been!
Ahh - the OP mentioned it in passing in post #7, that was what tipped me off! In retrospect I can see the logic, as if you accessed it from outwith their network they wouldn't have your account details and therefore wouldn't be able to log your settings! Glad it's working now for you
Hi,
On the 14th of March i started a new project called XDA File Server. The purpose of the site is to host files for Dev's and give users a nice spot where they can find them. And so far it's been busy! 1,7TB has been uploaded allready and 11000+ vistors and more then 11000 files served!
The server it self runs on a 100mbit optic fiber line and should provide a decent speed to most people.
On the moment you'll find ROMS for the asus transformer, lg optimus 2x and xperia s (orginal firmware on the moment), i'm still expanding but it takes time and money! Hope you guys/girls like it !
the url: http://www.xdafileserver.nl
You can also follow me on xdafileserver on twitter.

*bump*
I'm still working on a easy and clean design so dont panic when you see one design first and a few seconds or minutes an other one, the downloads will go on.
Some stats so far:
almost 1000 unique vistors in only 3 days! 190GB downloaded so that's nice too. If any other dev's need xs let me know. I'll add some stock roms as well by gee one for restoring
Stock recovery might be a good addition as well.

Thanks for the tip

Actually now that i think about it a good selection of tools like nvflash, adb, nachoroot, vipermod, drivers, superwipe, CWM 3.something and 5.something, Rogue recovery, other stuff that might be useful. Sort of like a one stop shopping kinda place.
This is such an awesome gesture. Thank you!
Another suggestion: Maybe you can have some pages (or the main pages) on your site link through coralcdn.org by appending .nyud.net to the domain part of your URL. By doing this, for public content, HTTP requests are automatically redirected through a custom peer-to-peer network using DNS and distributed amongst a huge number of caching proxies, reducing the load on the original server as well as bringing content closer (network topologically) to the requester.
Note: I am not connected to coralcdn.org in any way.

Good idea! I'll msg most of these dev's if they are ok with the mirror ( think they are but it's nice to do). And i'll make a folder for these things.
I'm still working on the site to make it as fast as possible for users that are on the other side of the world, but it's not going to be routed trough any dns service of anykind it's on a 100mbit fiber line it should be fast enough and it should support proper download managers (so you could resume).
I'll show some stats from this week later on
I'm in indonesia if that's far enough away for ya. Sometimes it drops out but that's at my end and it still maxes out my 3g.

If you are a dev or know one that needs a place to host their roms let them contact me and i'll see what i can do.
@Moderator Is it possible to sticky this topic? makes it much easier for me to keep people informed!
Ugg getting annoyed tried 15 times to download mar 27 cm9.
Keeps saying file is finished at like 15 megs.
Is there anything going on or is it just me?
edit: seems my 3g doesnt like your server. On a landline it seems to be working well.
Nopes it's running on full speed on the moment. But i'm going to change setup soon so perhaps that will fix it for you
oh and for those on 3g try: THIS and let me know of that works
Moving to a more appropriate place
I find your project very useful.
Do you consider including other devices as well?
Hi
Yes that's the general idea indeed. But i'm starting up slowly with some dev's and adding more while to goes on. First wanna see how much data this is gonna take .
A member of team xperia is uploading some files and is gonna use it for the 2011 range (and the comming 2012) after that i'll find and ask a galaxy 2 dev if he want's to mirror/host the files on my server
Just a note that the word 'you' on the website's main banner should read 'your'. As if you don't have enough to do.
Thanks for your work and such a cool idea for a Site.

I can't figure out how to get this file: http://xda.servebeer.com/TF101/Stock Roms by gee one/With Root/ics_92117_stock_EBT_SOS.zip

Hi
Try this link HERE
let me know!
Hello
I notice that most of you have problems with the roms hosted in some servers. I also notice that most of you don't have problems on files hosted in google drive. So I'm providing a mirror in google drive to cm9, cm10, cm10.1, cm11 and cm12 for the people that have low speeds in the servers posted on the roms threads.
IMPORTANT: Please check, after you download, the name of the file if it matches with the rom you wanted. Errors are human. Even if I had careful with posting the links I can also make mistakes. ALWAYS check the md5sum.
Note: This is only for CyanogenMod roms!. Any other roms will not be created a mirror, so don't bother on asking for it.
Note 2: Some users can also provide the links if they want. For the rest of people who enjoy these kind of work, possibly the links will be on the last pages.
Note 3: There is also odin stuff folder that contains everything so you can flash a recovery. There is also instructions on how to do it. The instructions were based on a thread here in xda (credits are present in the text file)
Folder that contains the CyanogenMod roms
I also provide the MD5sum for those who want to test it before flashing (I highly recomend you doing this)
MD5sum for CyanogenMod 10.2 - Alpha 9 --> 4f7a03b8f3885a7c4521a20e24022990
Md5sum for CyanogenMod 11.0 (20150322-UNOFFICIAL) --> 946d0939607fa53bbc76d94f425edd35
Md5sum for CyanogenMod 12.0 (20150501-UNOFFICIAL) --> 4c089a2d7552146078214b2011c2c23c

Thanks, I already saw, but I will not add them. For the reasons I explained in the private message. The main reason is hard to maintain since they aren't my links and old links when there is a new release
thank you very munch . :good:
Well...thank you. Dropbox might not have been the best choice though. You will probably run out of bandwidth and then the links will become unaccessible. I've also got a dropbox account. But there is a reason why I chose not to use it for this. Nonetheless, thank you for opening this thread and offering your support.
PS: if I remember correctly, there might already be a similar thread around here. Not sure if that one's updated though.

Good point about the bandwith. Didn't think about it. But well, I investigate and notice that the bandwith limit of dropbox is very low for the ammount of people present on forum. As far as I'm aware google doesn't have that kind of restrictions. If the bandwith run out I will remove them.
But if people don't have problems with google drive there is no sense in uploading in a new server. But if someone has, report it and I will see what can I do
Ps: @arsradu I never notice on a thread like that to be honest but I'm not saying that doesn't exist

But as I said, that one doesn't seem to be updated anymore. So opening this one was a good decision. Not sure that opening it in the development section was such a good idea though. ) But nonetheless, thank you.
Yes, seems it's not updated. Well regarded to the section I think that this was the appropriated section because, in my opinion, doesn't fit in general section, in questions and much less in themes. But if any moderator disagree on this feel free to move it as you like. I don't mind. The idea was to bring new mirrors for the roms and avoid asking on the respective threads to keep them clean.
Since it happen what arsradu said dropbox mirrors were removed. I don't see much problem on this because as far as I know google drive don't have the limits that dropbox have. So google drive should be enough.
Either way if someone has problems with google drive report it and I will think on another solution to those kind of people and add a second mirror.
Not for criticize (you've done a good job posting roms in other servers just for us, and all of us will be thankful to you ) but in my opinion, the best hosting server is mega.nz
It allow downloads in high speed and it's all free. I repeat, not for criticize you, just an advice (i don't have all this issues with original downloading anyway)
Greetings, buddy!

I don't take serious no worries. I open to all sugestions people can give. But the problem here is more the bandwith limit. Dropbox has that problem so I notice that cm11 links were disable. Also the server you said if I'm not mistaken is the old megaupload. Well for what I see mega suffer the same problem as dropbox.
Free account users are provided with one option:
50 GB of storage space (no artificial limits are imposed, but in case of traffic congestion the speed is adjusted to a lower value until the servers are no longer overwhelmed)[28]

As you can see this is a problem. Bandwith. I never expect so many people downloading so probably this limit would be reached as well probably.
Google drive has the advantage of not having this limit as far as I digged. And if t works well for everyone is fine. If not speak up

I don't take serious no worries. I open to all sugestions people can give. But the problem here is more the bandwith limit. Dropbox has that problem so I notice that cm11 links were disable. Also the server you said if I'm not mistaken is the old megaupload. Well for what I see mega suffer the same problem as dropbox.

I think he meant http://mega.co.nz. And it's indeed a great upload service. I'm using it too. The problem is that apparently it doesn't work so well everywhere around the world. I've got awesome speeds with this one and I strongly recommend it. But I'm not sure how well will perform for everyone. Anyway, if you decide to go with mega.co.nz, I would advice you to create an account as well. Don't worry. It's free.
And yes, it also has its limitations. But, the more mirrors you provide, the less the bandwidth consumption on each one of them will be. So it might not be such a bad thing after all to add mega.co.nz as well.
Mediafire would also be a valid alternative. But here the upload speed is the problem. Especially for bigger files such as ROMs or Gapps. The advantage though is that apparently it has a wider availability, popularity and better support on both PC and mobile site versions.

The website I provide is that one. If you see in the source I left on the above post the website is that. As I said is from the same guy that made megaupload. Megaupload had problems with authorities and it was closed. Then months later the creator create the mega.
Yes that's the problem. Without feedback I don't know which server it should be the best. Also we have to take in attention the bandwith of the server. Limits and etc.
For example goo rarelly I got low speeds or problems that people mention. I don't have problems with mediafire, dropbox or google driver. but is like you said. Shouldn't be the case for everyone else. Also without the feedback I can only guess what's better.
Anyway, I will consider adding one more mirror (mediafire, mega or any other suggestion that I come across) in the next couple of days. Thanks for the suggestions : )

Thank you too for the effort. And as a suggestion regarding the feedback you were talking about...well, if you don't try, you'll never know which one is the more appropriate solution for everyone or at least for most of the users. So..go ahead. Try it. The feedback will come by itself.

Not for criticize (you've done a good job posting roms in other servers just for us, and all of us will be thankful to you ) but in my opinion, the best hosting server is mega.nz
It allow downloads in high speed and it's all free. I repeat, not for criticize you, just an advice (i don't have all this issues with original downloading anyway)
Greetings, buddy!
