I don't know about everyone else but I'm sick of dealing with rapidshare, mediashare etc and having to wait to download ROM's or other files. I'm offering free hosting to any chef's or anyone offering cab's on XDA if you're interested in an ftp server/website to host your files please let me know. Also note that any files uploaded are public domain, this isn't to host private files. If you want hosting just send me a pm and I'll get you setup.

I have been a long time user of XDA Developers and I can't tell youhow frustrating it is to use all these free hosting services to download files. Now I have a server with 1TB of web space and about 10TB of monthly transfer. I am going to setup a subdomain off of my website (http://xdafiles.timothyhoogland.com) to dedicate to hosting roms, apps, and other files for XDA. Anyone is welcome to use it. I will let everyone know when its is up and functional.
Actually just email me at [email protected] and put the subject as "XDA File Site" and I will email you the FTP info. I am trusting you guys not to delete files that aren't yours. Please create a folder for your files to help keep things organized.

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.

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 decided to dedicate my personal site to hosting files for the MT4G community. I personally despise megaupload and the such. I have uploaded the current roms and kernels, and have set it up so developers and themers can direct link to their files. Unfortunately, I can only allow uploads of 8MB through php, but I can setup FTP accounts as needed for people to upload roms. If I've already made an FTP account for you to use I have changed the login path so it will be accessible by the site. for the time being I will need to create the links for the files, but I'm working on setting that up for the developers as well.

i have put the link in the bible thread. if this works out then i will put up a mirror link under the thread link for each for quick and easy access
hopefully I can the developers onboard uploading files there, because downloading them all from megaupload then reupping them kinda sucks especially since I can't wget or curl the files straight to my server from megaupload....
Undeleted. Sorry

Hey guys,
Just a quick update, I had some people contacting me about FTP accounts or file hosting services. So I just want to give an explanation about what I'm offering here. What I can offer you guys is web hosting, unfortunately I can't set up FTP's. What you can do is build a small web page, that provides and option to upload and download files, maybe some explanation about your ROM's or MOD's.
Like a small home page but with a download option. I can give you unlimited storage and a descent download speed (no monthly bandwidth limits). There are pre-build sites on the web that can get you started(like file and photos sharing gallery and stuff), and I will help you set things up and running.
In addition I want to offer a chose of domains. (as I explained in my previous post, I'm offering you a sub-domain "yourname.my-domain.whatever). So the options are:
1-host.net
argali.net
cacomistle.org
frilled.org
hosting-1.org
linux-devs.com
my-ad.net
one-host.org
pichiciego.net
souslik.net
time2play.us
watchmedream.com
The domains are currently on parking, but I will unpark the chosen domain and set it up for hosting.
I hope this will help you guys, and you will be able to continue to develop great stuff for the community to enjoy!
I have a shell hosting secondfloor.ca, and permission from the sysadmin to mirror Android roms. No ads, etc. Hosted in Montreal, Canada. I believe it uploads at 100mbps. It costs me $10 per terabyte to upload, so if it comes to it I may have to add 'Image verification' for downloads.
I don't have an easy way to give other's ftp access, and so I'd prefer to download the rom from some other site, and then give a link for the mirror. A readme/changelog file would be helpful too, with contact information (email) for the rom maintainer.
Some conditions:
Android roms only.
To save space, old releases would get deleted when there's a new release.
I want copies of all the patches, a text file with the list of modifications, the git pull version and git url for the upstream sources. No secrets. I want to be able to reproduce the rom. This will be archived along with the rom.
So each ROM would involve 3 files:
android-rom-htc-desire-xxx-v1.zip
android-rom-htc-desire-xxx-v1-readme.txt
android-rom-htc-desire-xxx-v1-patches.zip
And an index.html if the team wants to make a web page for their rom.
I can also host a forum if development teams want their own forum. The forum would also allow uploading the rom to the site as an attachment.
Please feel free to comment on this offer. Let me know if there's anything else I can do.
PM me to mirror your rom, or email [email protected]
