Hi All,
There has been some discussion regarding hosting of Dutty's ROM's since bandwidth usage has become an issue. Lots have people have jumped in offering to host files, which is great!
Between all of us who benefit from this site, and the hard work of all the chefs, we should set up a file mirroring service?
I'm actually in the hosting industry, and can contribute quite a bit to this, however it's would certainly be better to have as many servers sharing the load as possible.
Just Kaiser CAB's and ROM's to begin with, until we get an ideal of bandwidth usage.
I'm happy to set it all up, and work with others who are willing to help.
I'd suggest we have one master server where chefs can upload their files. Each night at 1am we can rsync files out to all the other servers.
I have a nice script that will dish out encoded download URL's evenly so load gets shared out across all servers.
What do you think?
Potential Mirrors:
mattpark- Most London DC's, Databanx Newcastle, plenty of bandwidth
jagofulford - Uk based (docklands), 100Mb/s Connection, 10Tb Bandwidth per month
Once I have worthy list, I'll get about setting all this up, and will PM those who have expressed an interest.
Any chef's out there who would like to register their interest in uploading their files to a mirror PM me.
Cheers,
Matt
This sounds like a fantastic idea to host all the ROMs in one location, and hopefully ease any burden on cooks distributing their good work. While I can't cook a ROM, I can offer hosting:
Uk based (docklands), 100Mb/s Connection, 10Tb Bandwidth per month
I hope this is of some use, PM me if it's required.

Awesome.
I'm in multiple DC's with a wide range of kit and connectivity.
I'll start a list for easy reference.
Moved it up to post number 2-------^
Few more mirrors needed before this takes off...?
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).

Enjoy!

I currently have a server I have been paying for as well as a domain. Honestly I use about 5% of the monthly bandwidth limit and 1% or less of storage. If you guys want to upload to it I can make a generic FTP section for you and we can have alot faster downloads for these roms and excellent upload speeds to the server. Msg me or email me @ jeremy.marrel93 @gmail.com
Good evening,
I was thinking about doing something good for the Android community, although I'm not a developer, I'd like to give a Rom Developer the chance for an own homepage. For free of course.
It includes a domain, 10 mysql databases, 10 cronjobs, 10 gb space, ftp accounts and unlimited traffic.
I will not do any programming or designing (unless I'm asked to).
If someone want it, just pm me with the project and your concept
Greetings
Hey Guyz,
I'm willing to provide a good amount of space on an FTP server that I own. I would like volunteers to help me make a backup of some data.
The only issue I have here is a very very slow UPLOAD SPEED.
I need people with a farily good amount of UP SPEED to help me setup the Server
