Oh don't get me going on the unrapidshare, it will show it's coming down fast and pause most the time still displaying high data d/l, then half the time just to get to the page have to use a proxy, then when you really need something thats in parts it says some crap about reaching daily download limit my proxy has a limited data download size so tend to give up, and use the file name to find elsewhere.
You still on dial up?

Just released with xda in mind: http://aximilation.com/hosting/
Anyone care to give it a try? It's in beta at the moment, trying to flush out any bugs etc. If there's enough interest I'll throw it up on its own domain name and everything. Feel free to send me any feedback!

try filedropper.com...

I host my own files.... screw downloading 1 file from rapidshare and being told I have to wait because I download too much from them....

Bittorrent mirror for android related files

I set up a page for android related files on my server. I am currently mirroring all the JF 1.41 images and build environments, and the Debian installer. I am using bit torrent so I don't go over my quota on my server, and since it is a great way to distribute large files.
I put this up since a lot of people were complaining about RapidShare and MegaUpload, which is the only place (that I am aware of) to get the debian installer and some of the theme files people are posting.
I will try to get most of the themes that I see in this forum up there later this week. Its also very basic right now, i'll add a way to add and remove files yourself later. For now you have to email me using the online form.
Here's the page: http://hexial.net/android/torrents/
Give me some feedback... Would you all use this?
yes, if its fast and virus/malware free.
now we need a torrent client for android..downloading updates on the go..rename it and install...life couldnt be easier!
thanks man!

Yup! My goal is to make this a faster alternative than MegaUpload or similar sites. I have 4 or 5 seeds for each file, and 2 of those connections are 20mbit upload speed :-D
And of course I am going to try and keep all the files virus/malware free. I double checked that all the md5 sums matched the originals posted by JesusFreke, so they are all virus free on my end.

Actually, at first I really liked the idea of OTA updates via bittorrent... then I thought, hmm people are going to apply the update, restart the phone, and then we are going to have tons of seeds out there seeding over GPRS? Nah, I think ill pass =P
(It probably wouldn't be all that bad with 3G, but out here I get GPRS... data speeds are unbearable)
I wouldnt seed from my phone but it would be kinda cool to dl stuff to my fone like vids that are already in the correct format, or music. As far as speed goes, Edge seems pretty quick, i dont have much access to the 3g network, but Edge is better than GPRS, at least for me.
Forget flash we need utorrent for android.

Once I get the bugs out this will be more reliable and faster than direct links.
Good idea, but I can see this thread going south for Warez claims. be careful or the mods will close it. I only have tether acess anyways, not hard to max me out at home.

No warez I will make sure of that. Only material already available via conventional methods in this forum only faster.
I think this is a great idea. I can't seem to get your tracker to load here at work. Perhaps you could limit new torrent uploads to approved rom devs upon request to help curb the chances of warez related issues.

Do you have issues using BitTorrent @ work? Did you get the torrent file off my FTP??
Try re downloading the torrent file. I made some changes.
I'm in the military and on a government computer, there is a very restrictive firewall in place. I can't even get your tracker site to load. No worries though.
I already have all the cdma items and ROMs on my http server linked to in this forum. I already have over 6 GB transfered. You up for a little competition?
Just a heads up, cant get either torrent file to download. And I am sure my utorrent is fine, got at least 200 things seeding right now...
Thats odd i can connect here at work???? Let me try a different way.

Download Manager

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right section or if i can even talk about this hear as it isnt exactly a phone but..... Just wondering if their is a download manager available for windows mobile 6 (I'm currently using an ipaq 114 ). I've heard that JDownloader may be able to be installed on it using some sort of Java Midlet but not sure how to do that, have been searching but wondered if their where any other premium download managers that could handle rapidshare.
Thanks
there are many
http://www.google.com/search?source...pocketpc&meta=lr=&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=
I've seen a few but what I'm looking for is one that is like the program "JDownloader". Where I could set up a bunch of links in a group (say a linux ISO that has been collected into 10 files but I dont want to download, I just want to enque) and then when I get to work download through the wifi their. But there are some smaller files (ROM's, Freeware, Patches) that I would like to download immediately.
I also don't know if these programs allow importing of links, say copying and pasting a large collection of links. Best example I can think of is last night when I tried to download the original night of the living dead (available free under public license), I would of had to click each link and allow to download, but with JDownloader juts select the links and copy and paste. I'm not sure if this is a common feature of download managers as I haven't had much experience with them!
I was also unsure if the download programs would work within a premium rapidshare account, but I guess I would just have to log onto it.
I'm also still waiting for my ipaq, but with the dedicated program WMDownloader I assumed that downloading from rapidshare through PPC would be a pain and was looking for something to handle my premium account.
I didnt just come on here without searching Been trying to read up on as much as I can before posting questions I can later find an answer to through google! haha. Thanks for the link though, but from my browsing history I can see I've already been on the first 8 pages. lol

LOL U CAN USE WIN MOBILE DOWNLOAD ACCELARATOR FORM ADISASTA SITE..
IT IS GOOD..
BUT FOR RAPIDSHARE U HAVE TO USE YOUR PC NOT PPC....
AND WMDOWNLOADER IS GOING ON HUGE CHANGES LIKE COPY PASTE SUPPORT AND OTHER SITES SUPPORT..
SO WAIT UNTILL DEV.. MAKE A NEW WORLD..
I figured their must be one available... They're out for android and seems like downloading from rapidshare and other such sites while using a wifi hotspot would make sense....
Ok - Well back to the drawing board on this idea. Now gotta look for a full featured PC about the size of a PPC that can fit in my pocket and have the ability to download from rapidshare...

Worked fine for me, did just what it's supposed to. 5/5

Works great dude! Just downloaded it and I think I'll be using it a lot here in the next week.....THANKS again!!
Thanks guys that's all i needed to hear although i have a question
Should i add 4shared results to the search too or just leave the app the way it is.
Its good as it is but if you did add 4shared results try to limit it to 1 or the other. I wouldn't want to get 4shared results in my mediafire search
I can't download properly from mediafire from the start, with my phone. Always download a few kb and "download complete". Anyone had this problem?
Anyway the app works snappy, saves time in the searching. Good app.

I think you are right I'll probably do another app for 4shared, the one they have right now is pretty much their site in browser but again mine is not too different either.

well the only thing i can say from your comment is maybe your browser is not handling the request properly, u didn't say which phone u have either so I cant really make out anything off it but its guaranteed that if u try another rom or if u reinstall your existing Rom the problem sud go away. If u don't want to do that u sud probably post Ur logcat here. maybe something in there will give me or u a clue about whats going on or what's the problem.
And don't forget to rate the app
This app will ocme in handy. Thankls!
@consegregate Hey i just experienced this problem where i wasn't able to download a big file, turns out it was a just due to lack of memory, it was a common mistake a lot of other people were making too, So u should check that just in case.
@Rigy73 -- could you update the link in your OP, it no longer goes to your app. This one should work: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arv.mediafyre

[APP][2.2+] TDM - Torrent & Download Manager for Android

Hi,
I would like to submit my new application "Download Manager for Android". With this app you can speed up your internet downloads as much as 500% (depends on the server and your connection). Also this applications allows to download torrents.
Another useful feature is that you won't lose any downloaded data in case of connection lose or download error. You can always resume you download from the point it failed thus saving data and money on your 3G/4G link (this is especially usful when the signal is unstable).

The speed boost is achieved by splitting the file into multiple pieces and downloading them all at once. Such an approach provides an overall speed boost for almost any download, however the best boost is achieved for servers that have an download speed limit per connection (those types of server aren't that uncommon - most big server have some sort of limit especially for non premium accounts).
For example if the server has a limit of 500Kb per connection and you use one connection for the download (like a normal browser does), then you only get 500Kb of max speed. However if you split the file into 10 pieces and use 10 connection, then you download speed is 500Kb * 10. Ofcourse if your internet speed is less then 500Kb then you won't see any boost.
Also I think that even if you don't achieve a boost for a certain file or server, then is still worth using this application as with this app you will never lose your downloaded data. If you battery dies in the middle of the download, then you can always plug in the charger press the download resume button and continue without loosing any downloaded data. Even a couple of hours later you can still resume your downloads (hell maybe even weeks if the downloads file doesn't change or gets removed from the server).
Very nice. I can download music from my favorite site 2x faster now
my net speed is 128kbps so no 5x for me.. bt i must say its a decent downloader good work

Yes, unforchantly you need 1Mbps or more to see any speed benefites Anyway you can still enjoy the abitlity to resume failed downloades from the point they failed (without losing any downloaded data). So you don't have to worry about battery deaths or Internet signal loses.

Thanks for this app. Your detailed description of how the app can speed up download makes it very tempting for me to try it. So if I download from a server which has no limits will I still notice a speed boost? I'm using 10mbps BTW.

It's a hard question. Every download I've tried using my app was faster then using an web browser. However I can't say if those servers had limits or not, and also I didn't setup my server to do the test. Currently I can give you an theoretical anwser (which is only backed up by the fact that the downloads I've done were a lot faster). Consider the 2 examples:
Example 1 - the server has 100Mb of connection and at the moment 200 user that're downloading something. The server if fair and divides the connection equally, so every user gets 0.5Mb of connection (100 : 200 = 0.5). If you're using a single connection to download you file, then you have 0.5Mb. However lets say you now use 12 connection for your download. Since the extra 11 connection were made, then the server has now 211 connections. 100Mb divided for 211 gives 0.474Mb per connection, but since you use 12 connection then you have 12 * 0.474Mb, which gives the total of 5.68Mb.
Example 2 - same server, but only 10 connections. Every connection gets 10Mb of speed. You start to use 12 connections per download, so the server now has 21 connections which gives 4.76Mb per connection. 12 * 4.76Mb gives 57Mb, but your home connection limit is only 10Mb. So in this case you're still stuck with 10Mb (doesn't matter is you use 1 connection or 12).
