First off let me say you guys rock!!!!
Ok now on to the topic.
DROP.IO
File service free 100mb uplad can be acessed by anyone or passworded no identification of yourself or anyone other than ip collection (they do this for the purpose of peventing people who distribute warez ect...ect...) No i dont work for them i just think its great and a great way to get the roms out without rapidshare ect...
So a great distrobution possibility just know that if the feds come knocking on their door they will give out your ip. It also is not searchable via crawlers so no unknowing visitors will enter your drop.
For more info listen to leo laporte's net at night here:

Keep up the good work and thanks for cooking.
i think 4shared.com is better!
I just want to find a good site that hosts stuff that my work doesn't block
4Shared for the win.
have the 4shared crowd checked out drop.io before the cast their verdict??
can you email files to 4shared if needed ?
can you fax to 4 shared?
can you get to it from a corporate site?? (NO) for 4 shared it's blocked by my work but i can allways email anything to anywhere.
can you get rss updates of 4shared files???
1+ hour to upload a rom? drop.io is to slow.
Rapidshare and 4Shared are a beter solution, it takes me only 12 min. to upload the same rom.
wait for it thats what it says but it only took me about 10-12 min to upload a rom to it!
So it would seem to be the same as 4 shared

Englewood NJ (drop.io) is a long way from Breda NL, maybe there are some bad routes between them.
I thought the whole point of using Rapidshare, MegaUpload, and 4shared was to keep our IP addresses as masked as possible. Since M$ and a few other have ravager-sized bugs (WoW joke) up their patooties about rom sharing.
mine said 1 hour and 10min originally but then completed in the 10 min a second test upload of dutty's latest version zipped completed in the same 10 ish min.
If anyone wants to download this file and tell me how long it takes id appriciate the feedback

heck they even let you have voice mail.
hope i dont offend you buy posting your rom dutty i'll take it down tomight if you like.
why is it that you are pushing for ppl to use drop.io so much??
Don't know why you are pushing this site so much! But it does seem to have fast download servers
Downloads to Cleveland, ohio
The op 's site download of dutty's rom - 1.56 MB/Sec
Rapid Share download of same 1.02 MB/Sec

Drop.IO is blocked by Websense, much like every other file-sharing site.
files.ww.com is about the only one I've found that isn't (yet).
What are the legal implications for hosting ROMs as I've seen m$oft hot on the heals of xda-developers in the past.
I wouldn't mind hosting them as a free contribution to xda-developers.
I think I could set up the following.
- Each developer has his own area to upload files via SSL web interface or SFTP.
- All files get virus checked and checksumed/signed.
- Host carrier will be 100mbps tier 2. Depending on how successful it is I can cluster the setup to several tier 1 carriers each @ 1gbps.
- Hosts will be on my Class C which are guaranteed clean IP addresses.
- Downside my tier 1 and tier 2 carriers are based at a London POP if anyone wants to team up with a cluster between London, New York that would really rock.
Drop IO Sucks! You tell anything about your Work doesnt block this side???
The URL is:http://drop.io/jiggaman
The category of this URL isersonal Network Storage and Backup
Either 'force_deny' or 'force_exception' was matched in policy
blocking.exception
This is the message from a Bluecode Proxy and Websense match this side too :->
well the place i work dosent block it and no i dont work for them just heard about it and thought it was cool im gonna use it maybe to upload podcasts i may be doing to since it's free and i can send them from every where. and listeners would be able to leave voice mail feedback.
I guess the it departments listen to the same podcasts since they bloacked it for some people allready. mine still allows it for now.
well use it or not just thought id put another option out there for people who dont like rapid share and the likes of it.
any how im off to my real job i'lll step off the soap box.
Hello-
I'm not exactly sure if this is the right subforum, but I'm excited to let everyone know about a little project I've been working on for the past few days.
It's always bugged me that all the awesome developers on here and ppcgeeks.com have to struggle to with 3rd party services (e.g. rapidshare) to distribute their creations. I've been toying with the notion of some sort of free hosting for a while now, and have finally gone ahead with it.
There are no catches, this isn't a scam, nor is this spam. It's fully featured web hosting. However it is to be used for mobile development only...don't go using it to share your vacation photos! Also, I have no plans to put ads on user sites providing at least a few people throw some bucks towards the server.
Depending upon demand, the packages may change, but for now it's 1 GB storage/50 GB monthly bandwidth and pretty much unlimited everything else (email, MySQL databases, etc).
Read more about it and sign up here: www.pocketdevelopers.com
Enjoy!

Free accounts for everybody, there are NO pay accounts. free free free! users with accounts can manage their files.

Hello,
I just bought my first Android smartphone with Internet access and notice that a 2.0 site I use a lot is pretty slow on a 3G connection. The owners don't want to develop a smartphone application because they consider the www version fast enough.
So I was thinking of using a proxy like Privoxy to rewrite web pages on the fly as a way to speed things up. I already do this on my PC.
Also, since other users complain about this, I'm thinking of turning this into a small commercial application.
What good proxy servers are available for Android and iPhone, with a way to either package the filter file into the application or fetch it from a remote www server?
Thank you.
PS:
1. With so many sub-forums on this board, is there a way to fold them all in one go?
2. If a more approriate forum is available to ask questions related to smartphone development, please tell me.
Most of the issue with web pages is how they are rendered by the phone, not the speed, but good luck if you can get something going.
Thanks, but I want a local proxy to
- filter the page for stuff I don't want
- speed things up by removing ads, JS etc.
Looks like there's no official, maintainted port of Privoxy for Android. Too bad.
We are seeing increasing number of file hosting app for android. Jdownloader open source development supported many file hosting websites under one roof. Its based on java so platform independent.
Jdownloader also included auto captcha recognition and multi threading, resume etc
It devoids unnecessary advertisements by directly redirecting to actual file location. (Just like AppRedirect app)
Instead of 10 file hosting apps like Mega, Google drive etc that costs me 100 MB memory in my little device can we have one app for all file hosters?
Is it possible to port jdownloader to android?
Of late jdownloader also did not work for me in windows due to their upgrades. The nearest possible equivalent is IDM but it does not bypass advertising and captcha.
Note:
Sorry many of my threads look plain because am using XDA free app. I see no options to highlight certain portions. Request your views on thread subject.
