Free upload space for developers!!

Hi Guys,
I have been getting some files from xda-developers for a while now and i feel that i should contribute to the site as well. Since I am no good at cooking ROMs and all I can offer is some web space for developers to upload their ROMs to share with all of us.
For any of those developers that wish to use my web-server to upload their ROMs or some files, please contact me via PM and I will send you the details (I didn't want to post the login details to public)
I am offering 1000MB of space so HURRY!
I this this way is better than using rapid share since you have to wait for your downloads.
By uploading to my server you all can download without the wait

FREE hosting for ROM creators

Don't have your own personal space to load your ROMS? No problem!
As a contribution to all the creators for their hard work, im offering free web space for you to upload your creations!
What is included:
subdomain name (www.kriev.com/yoursitename or http://yoursitename.kriev.com)
ftp access (unlimited space and bw)
SQL, SSL (you need to go through me for this however but it's not a problem)
If you have your own domain, you get point it to my DNS
It's all free.
All you need to do is PM me.
NOTE: The server is located in North-America (EST-Canada) however it's getting great speeds for Europe and so far is hard to congest!
That's a mighty generous offer. Didn't you post this a few months back as well? I'm surprised more devs haven't jumped on the opportunity to move away from rapidshare/megaupload/etc in favor of your website.
yeah i did.. it got deleted for some reason.
I have a few people using it for storage but im not seeing the download links in their posts..
It's all good, im not asking for anything in return really, just thought people would of jumped on this offer quicker
you're very generous
send a pm to devs....

Probably because using file sharing sites gives devs returns in the way of providing for some rewards in the form of premium accounts/ a nominal sum from the number of downloads per file. After all, devs would need to self support themselves at least initially, unless there are generous donations.

[TIP] Storage for developers/non-developers (not spam or advertising!!)

For the mods:
I don't know if I'm posting this thread in the right section, so if it's wrong please move it! Also this thread is to help the developers and not to advertise or to spam... So please, if this is not permitted please remove this thread and I'm sorry
Okay, after pointing that out I want to share a thing I recently discovered. Many developers, especially developers with collaborative projects, are having hard times to save their stuff at an always accessible place. When you're developing with a few people it would be awesome to have a secured place only accessible for permitted users (the developers), to share stuff between the "crew" without wasting many time.
There is a very easy way to make something like that happen, for free!! But how do you do that? I will explain it to you!!
To make an online place and save/share your projects you have to go through a few steps:
First of all you have to make a free 2GB Dropbox account. Okay, 2GB is not much, but there a a few tips/tricks to get more space up to 20GB.
After you have made the account and installed the Dropbox application you can go to "Sharing" at the website.
At the "Sharing" page you see'll this explanation: Dropbox shared folders let you share or collaborate on a set of files. When someone joins a shared folder, the folder appears inside their Dropbox, and syncs to their computers automatically.
The only thing you have to do is to create a shared folder at this page and invite the users to share with. Thats the only thing you have to do to make your developing life easier. For free...
When you have done that, you are able to share files between the people you want and the other people can also share files with you!!
Thats all!! But, before you do this I'll give you a few tips to get a free account of 20GB or even more...
First of all, create an account with the given link in this post or my signature. It's a referral link wich will give you an instant extra space of 250mb. And it's gives me also a 250mb or space
Second, complete the "Getting started" list to gain an extra of 250mb. At this point you should have 2,5GB of space.
Third, go to this place and complete all the tasks: https://www.dropbox.com/free... You'll get a total of 640mb if you complete all the tasks. It are very simple tasks wich will not cost more than 2 minutes of your time...
At last, let people subscribe to Dropbox with your referall link, it will give you everytime when somebody subscribes an extra of 250mb. And there's a way to even double it. When you have an .edu mail address, you can go to https://www.dropbox.com/edu and double the space you get when a person subscribes with your referall... So you get after every subscription 500mb. Up to 16GB of space extra...
So I hope everybody can use this tip/trick and will profit from it to make their collaborated projects more organised...
Please don't see this as spam or advertising, my intention is to help people out and make their life easier
If you have more tips or tricks please tell them and I will update this post. If you like this thread please hit the "thanks" button!!
OR if you really are a developer like i am you can register here and if they think your a developer they will give you FREE premium account

All about dead links to ROMs

It is really sad because most links for not so old ROMs are DEAD. Most of them were stored on MegaUpload, which is totally dead.
Sincerely, I am really surprised that NO ONE of the ROM-masters bothers to create a torrent for their ROM. WHY? Don't you want your work to be alive and well?
I don't really know if it is permitted to publish here links to torrent files, but I think that torrent is a contemporary technology, and if used right is a huge improvement on WORK SHARE for those who has a talent in something worth.
Starting from this post I want to publish some link to torrent-files of ROMs, that were checked on real devices.
1. Aurora ROM v5: Aurora_v5.zip.torrent
(Now downloading the fresh v6, will release a torrent when it's done, the Hotfile.com gives only about 80kb/sec download)
Edit: Aurora_v6_SE.zip.torrent
2. RevolutioN v3.0: RevolutioN.xMas.Edition.v3.0.A2SD%2B-signed.zip.torrent
P.S.: And again my word for ROM-makers - if you want people to enjoy your work, it is in your hands. Give them a good link, an alive one.
Torrents always need a seed. As soon as the need for the Rom disappears, so do the seeds. Then its just a .torrent file pointing to an empty tracker

Is it very hard for ROM-maker to seed 5-6 versions, or the only last 2 versions of his work?
And, in the torrent files, when you create them, you may enter web-seeds, the direct link to the file on some server. Do someone need a hosting? I can host about 50 roms! And I can seed them at home as torrents. Is it something hard in our days?!

What, forever? Get a grip man!!!
..and why rely on technology that isps and work places treat as illegal and block / throttle. Ftp is the best way forward. Torrents are old hat. Didn't know.people still used.it ha ha

Do you think, that relying on some slow and questionable upload sites is better?
This is about a week that I've decided to flash some new ROM on my wife's Desire, and I have been trying to download for some days! 99% of the links are dead!
If someone from ROM-masters want to host their ROMS on my server, welcome! I have about 20GB free and 1,5TB of bandwidth monthly. And I have an Internet at home, I can seed them. In our time it is possible, you know?
Why no one has proposed a help like this? Is it illegal somehow? Just think about Ubuntu and others - they give a torrent to the community.
P.S.: And if you have blocked torrents at work, or even at home (that is nonsence!) you always can use some online services, that download torrents for you and give you a direct link.
Thank you if you are willing to help developers host their roms. But developers would proactively update their download links if they really want to keep their work alive. If they don't then they probably moved on to something else or doesn't care at all or both.
They don't owe us anything for they do this thing on their own terms. They are grateful for every donation but that doesn't mean that they owe you support. It's a donation not a pay for service.
2cents.

Just look there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268279
There is a new release of the ROM today, but it is on hotfile.com, that is giving only 50-70kb/s speed! It takes forever to download. Is it very hard for developer to make a torrent file and seed it? I understand that they don't owe me anything, but should the people choose the better way to distribute their work?
If that's what they can offer or if that's their preference then who am I to complain? I am just a leecher. Yes it would be a pain to download. I don't prefer torrents tbh and I can also go and say "Is it very hard for developer to make upload this to mediafire hotfile?"

Is it hard for someone else make a torrent? Is it hard to mention it in the topic?
I am willing to help in that manner, why others do not?
Well no one is stopping you from helping them out in that department and I bet the devs would appreciate it.
As for me, I still prefer file hosting sites as with the majority of people here I guess. I really don't wanna go and install a torrent client on my laptop anyway.

It's a pity that I have no rights to post in dev-topics yet. I will try to make a big topic here, post more torrent links for now...
You don't have a torrent client installed? It's hard to imagine in what swamp you are living
Never really had any reason to install one. I'm not into too much downloading stuff anyway.
You only need 4 more post. So you'll prolly be posting there in a bit.

I don't even ask donations.... and mattman donates me (and others) ftp space that he pays for, for nothing.

May be you need a torrent for your works? I can make some, seed and host. Just PM me if you'd like.
Thank you for the offer but no need. I will put up a mirror if ftp fails. I like to track download statistics myself

Only two more posts Rever! You've done well out of this (pointless?) debate
Personally I think this is a good idea. I already use this method for testing and distributing Linux distros.
of course if the ROM is open source which all Android roms should be then there is plenty of good free hosting specifically for open source projects. Two I can think of being Google code and Sourceforge
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
BTW: Can anyone advice other good roms, that will be good to release as torrents?
Hmm Aurora v6; 1 hotfile, 2 live mirrors not much need of torrent there.
Just hope u ask the Devs first.
