Hey everyone. I figured this might be a good place to go with this since everyone in here knows how much of a pain in the butt it is to download ROMs from those upload sites. Anyways, I have some extra webspace that I'd be willing to put up for use for people to upload CABs and ROMs to.
Has this been tried before? If not, would people actually use this? I would make an FTP account for everyone to use, and then developers could make their own folders and put their ROMs and CABs in there.
It might not be much, but it would be me giving back to the XDA community. If any chefs want to test it out for speed and such, let me know in this thread or in a PM and I'll get an FTP account made up along with a subdomain or something.
I have 1.5TB of disk space and 15TB of transfer per month. All of... 200MB of transfer is used. So I think I can handle hosting a couple ROMs.

Thanks for the offer, a lot of people offer mirrors by uploading cooked ROM's to there webspace / storage area and posting a mirro (like so), normally the chef's then add the link to the first post.
I suggest you do this. And maybe add a link in your signature to the repository.
A lot of foreign users and office folk will apperciate your efforts, as the common storage sites are banned in thier country / office)
Once up and running I'll drop me a PM and I'll add it to the FAQ Sticky post for you.

Hiya Guys,
Not sure if any of you are interested in running your own site dedicated to your ROMs or mods ETC, however if you go out and pick yourself up a domain, I would be more than happy to provide you guys with unlimited space and bandwidth hosting as soon as the domain is pointed.
Hosting comes with CPanel, and no expiry date.
Just may way of giving back to the people that have made several of my phones the most epic experience ever.
PM me for nameservers and account details.
TwistedUmbrella, if you want to move off of GooglePages let me know. We'll get you sorted and set up!
Cheers Devs!
For the last 6 months I've been hosting files for developers in the Eris section. I made the site to people wouldn't have to use all that MultiUpload crap, got sick of the waiting 60 seconds to download a file, entering a verification code, etc etc.
Anyways, the site's worked well. You can direct link to your files, upload everything via a simple web interface.
I just thought I'd offer the site to developers in other forums now.
http://android.grdlock.net
Anyways, if you're interested in using it to host your files, just make a username on the site real quick, shoot me a PM, and I'll give it upload permissions.
And no, this isn't an advertisement or anything. People in the Eris section have just liked using the website over MultiUpload, so I thought I'd offer to let other people use my bandwidth as well.
I can jump in on this as well - I have unlimited bandwidth so if you need another mirror, let me know and ill set you up on my server.
I have being a user of this site since my HTC FUZE, and from that day on I'm hook. Because not only it allows me to have my phone how I want it by flashing Rom's or
make my life easy with new member made apps.
And from day One it plagued me that wonderful chefs and people would upload there work to Mega upload and other Upload services, which don't get me wrong Is free and well they do there own thing. But what grind my gears was that you had to wait a few seconds and or you could only download one file per IP or whatever.
I friend and I are working on a service for all you chefs or people who have files to contribute to xda developers and then sum. Basically what this is, is a file hosting site for roms and kernels and other files related to flashing modifide phones. Currently I'm testing the site on my own server at home make sure things work well
Here are the features.
1. Free Because, you people(insert Robert downy jr joke here) do this with out charging us the users.
2. upload space of 500 megs (more to come)
3. when file is uploaded in your GUI there will be a link that will send you a email with the url of the file so you can share it with the world, Or here.
More to come. also please tell me what you think of this Idea and also I hope the mods put in a sticky or something so developers/chefs can see this and be updated for when we roll out the site. Also you may ask your self "why would they do that and lose money on server space and all this crazy shenanigans. Well We plan to put ad's (I know horrible frickin ad's :0) and if they hearts are willing donation would hurt. But please in no way is necessary.
Anywho I'm off Is late and as Im sure I misspell half of this post for lack of sleep please forgive me.

I am working to create an archive of all roms, source code, modems, and kernels for the Galaxy S 4G. I am adding them as I download them and am working to make this a complete source for everything related to this phone. This site will remain up forever and will provide people with whatever they need.
If developers would like to use this to host their roms I can create an FTP account for them upon request, or I will add it within a few days of it's post in the forums. The only thing I ask is that people don't post links to these roms in other locations and instead link to the forum post of the developer. Support our developers!
I have plenty of space and bandwidth to host anything and everything, but if developers use their FTP to host non-Android things their account will be removed. Also donations are always appreciated as server space costs money!
I would love to have an ftp. I have been having space issues everywhere. Could you PM me when you have it set up?
Nice

Sure thing airfluip I'll get to that as soon as I have FTP working properly.
I'll be working on filling in everything over the next few days. After that if there is anything I don't have there feel free to make requests.
not trying to knock your suggestion cause i think its a great idea, but this should be in the general section and not the dev section. believe it or not, but the devs do check that section every so often. one thing i would like to ask though is, how much space and bandwidth do you actually have, cause if its limited, there might be some issues since the dev work gets downloaded from here A LOT and with updates and all that, it will just eat at your bw. also with the space, if devs keep developing more roms/scripts/kernels or whatever they develope, that too will get eaten up. like i said though, i think its a great idea and if you would like, pm me or hit me up on gtalk [[email protected]] and maybe we can talk about this some more.
agreed.....
Space I have 60GB, and I have another server with 250GB that I can overflow to if necessary. Bandwidth, I have 2TB, and another server that has 3TB if it runs out. I'm not going down without a fight .
Also, if this should be in general. A mod can move it .

well, i have an offer for you then. like i said though, either pm me or hit me up on gtalk as i don't wanna post anything here. trust me when i say you'll most likely not turn it down.
thanks for the offer man but ill prob pass on this as i keep my stuff on source forge
So tomorrow everything will be up at sgs4g.codedgraphx.info (droidmyst's server) with a mirror at sgs4g.mhamptontech.com\
Any devs who want ftp talk to droidmyst.

here's the deal guys. any devs who want ftp access to my server, just pm me. same rules will apply when uploading. what i'll probably be doing is create seperate folders for each dev who wants access and set it up so they only can access that folder via ftp, that way there won't be any accidental deleting from other devs. so if you want access, pm me here or hit me up on my gtalk [[email protected]]

Yes... "Accidental" deleting... Muahahaha.
This makes me so happy, awesome work. I had the same thought a few months ago, except my thought was to build it into an app for easy navigation and downloading. (I usually cwm flash from sd downloads)
This site semi-eliminates the need, but also would make it easier to build since there are clean direct links for download. Any objections to me toying around with that? Or if any other devs want to run with my idea, that's cool.. (understanding that it was intended to be a free app for us xda sgs4g users.)
currently i have only one person who wants to use my host. not bad since we've only started this a few days ago. as of right now, i'm currently playing with some flash templates for the home page to make it look good. there's nothing special there now, but i'll be updating it as i get my flash skills perfected once again. its been a while since i've played with flash. see you all around.
