Hey members, I really appreciate all the hard work you folks put in and especially all the great cooks we have here. If you would like a free host for your ROM PM me and I'll be happy to park a copy of your ROM on my personal server and offer members a non waiting url to download from.
Just wanted to give a little something back.

Great idea, will help out those in countries that cant access 4shared, rapidshare etc, Thanks
No problem, I won't put up anyone's ROMs unless they send me an OK, don't want to step on any toes but I can host them no problem got unlimited bandwidth
I did the same thing, but i created a rapidshare type site where you can upload whatever you want and there is no speed limit. Just see my signature
Thanks to all the chefs who spend the time getting us theses fantastic roms.
OK everything you need to flash the latest Cyanogen mod in one torrent
(Thanks for seeding the last torrent cranked up some mad speed in the swam)
This torrent includes:
-Cyanogen Mod 4.2.9.1
-BFS/10M hack
-HTC input
-HTC recovery image
Download (if you have the old torrent you can seed the files that havent changed 'let me know if there is a better way to update the torrent'
http://drop.io/cyanogen4291
Mirror http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=700&p=5420#p5420
Please seed if you can

why would you put it in a torrent? why not put it on a filehosting site?

i prefer bittorent. it has every file in one link. plus allot of hosting sites pull links. mainly put this up since the htc recovery is down. I figured there were seeders like me that just prefer distributed hosting like bittorent. I rarely see torrent links so i figured id stop asking for one and create one. this way you wont be subject to the adds and tricks of file hosts i guess. but most of us probably use adblock any way.
well im trying to download the torrent and it is reeeaallly slow. Thats why people don't use torrent man. They require many seeders...

yeah at first. im the only 100% seed, but as the swarm goes it can get much faster. i max my downstream with torrents on private trackers that have fat swarms
Mediafire.com is the best.
Sorry off topic but 2girls1cup is EEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!
i thought BFS in unstable compare to CFS?
how about once someone gets it downloaded they return the favor by uplaoding to a file sharing site. This way people could decide whats best for them.
i don't even know how to dowload a torrent lol. i really need the htc 1.6 recovery image. ugh!

You have to remember this Ahronzombi is the one who does these things to everyone else
But enough with that someone should start seeding, it's going WAY too slow.
Boo for torrent distribution, these files are SMALL, just host them somewhere. If they were >200mb then it might make sense, but its just a waste of time and resources for a ~60mb file
Also, there are TONS of builds that just bunch together Cyanogen and some extra stuff, this is totally unnecessary, imo
6 seeds so far. ive uploaded about 5 times over so far. the swarm speed should be better now.

I disagree. While I was waiting for 4.2.8 to download from a mirror onto my phone at a blazing ~100 KB/sec, I was thinking, if the cmupdate used a lightweight bittorrent client, it might just be faster.

yeah bittorent can be fast especially with the number of people who use this mod. would be nice if cm updater seeded
if cyan's server on
http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/
seeded, and he distributed his updates via torrents as well, we could get a massive swarm every time he releases.
initial downloads could be handled by his server and after enough people have the file, the swarm can take care of the rest
that would be great! getting +500kb/s on these updates ;D
I upped to RS
Code:
http://rapidshare.com/files/320524137/CM4.2.8.rar
Thanks to all the seeders. If someone could upload this to real hosting not any shotty wait and click service like rapid share, then I could take the direct link and add it to the torrent as a web seed.
I noticed a lot of devs hosting things with rapidshare and megaupload so thought I would try and do my bit for the site and offer some free hosting for any Desire files that you need hosting. Please keep what you upload legal no warez or anything like that if warez or any other illegal files are found in your FTP your login details will be removed instantly. If any dev wants a FTP post here and I will be intouch. I will be checking user posts to make sure only real devs get FTP you will have your own folder where you can host files and HTML.

Thanks for the offer mate. That is fantastic!
Your timing is brilliant! Just uploaded one to rapidshare. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6404623#post6404623 ) I assume that, by the time you get this message, the max 10 downloads will be well and truely expired
If you could PM me a login, that would be fantastic!
Another good way would be to share roms via dropbox (Public folder). You get 2 GB of free storage at the beginning.
Via referrals you can get up to 11GB.
If you like to sign up, i would appreciate if you use my referrer link so i (and you) get 250 MB extra ( https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTQ1OTg3NzM5 )
Cheers

BTW not sure what speeds you get off drop box but I would expect min 500kbps per user from my server with multiple users downloading

Okay, would you support non-Desire roms? i.e Nexus?
I'd love to be able to add an additional host for Kang-o-rama (see sig).
But I'll let you know... I've used 200GB+ since Kang-o-rama was released less than three weeks ago... you got a good cap?
- In fact, if somebody wants to send me a Desire I'll port Kang' to it...

Unfortunately due to server load I will only be offering hosting space for all things "Desire". As far as my download cap goes ....... I dont have one so that wont be a problem . If you do end up porting Kang-o-rama over to desire feel free to get in touch.
I've created a new high performance hosting site for WinMo and Android custom roms. It is still however in beta but I expect that it will be finalised before the end of June
The servers (Yes I mean that in plural ) that are being used are located in Dublin, Ireland (My hometown) so as to ensure brilliant speeds for both the US and EU. This service is of course free however there are certain rules that must be followed to preserve the integrity of the site. For example, I will not be allowing full scale discussion like here on XDA to make it easier for people to navigate ROMs.
In any case, when you host a ROM on my infrastructure you get both regular HTTP download and bittorrent download as a backup so your ROMs will always be available. No more rapidshare! Devs get unlimited space for their ROMs and those with more than five distinct ROMs get their own subforum to release their ROMs on. Again, I would like to stress that the primary aim of this site will not be ROM development as is XDA or MoDaCo but it's aim is to be sooner or later the comprehensive database for custom ROMs on both Android and Windows Mobile.
In any case, the site's URL is http://www.smartroms.com I hope you do find it useful, if you encounter any bugs or the like please send me a pm and I will look into it
Nice idea. Good luck with it. I'm registering just now!

Can you let me know if the registration page redirects you correctly? I noticed a few times that it kept hanging on redirecting during testing but it disappeared after I made a few seemingly irrelevant code changes.
Anyways, give me feedback!
It redirected me fine. The only tiny thing I'd say is that once you register and you are redirected to the login page, instead of your username being pre-filled, it puts your email address in.
Some less 'savvy' people might stumble on that and wonder why they can't log in.
As I say it's no biggy but you know what some users are like

That's odd, must have a look at that, thanks for letting me know
No bother. It might be a PHPbb thing. I used to run a PHPbb board many moons ago. They have changed a bit since then. lol
I really like the idea.
Thank you for providing a fast platform
Nece one, will check out soon. Thanks!
Sounds great, Roms with *****ing
Moved as not ROM Dev.
B.t.w already a hosting solution http://www.xdaroms.com/
Appreciate the offer and contribution.
Yup! A central place for finding ROMs should be brilliant.
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
here's your feedback:

that's really bad... for a hosting site
I've been working all night migrating the server to vBulletin instead of the phpbb system it is now. That's why it's slowing down from time to time. I thought it would be safer to work through the night as less people would be accessing the site but I suppose I thought wrong
In any case the site is hosted across multiple servers for performance and redundancy reasons so when the site is finalised there should never be any speed issues.
I am thinking of setting up torrents for some of our amazing ROM's to give people another way to download which in theory could be ALOT faster than any of the direct download services Devs use at the moment.
If your a dev and think this is a great idea and want me to start a torrent for your ROM PM me or post here!
If your not sure what a torrent or torrenting is check out the good old wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_(protocol)
After all, most if not all good Linux distros offer a torrent why shouldnt android ROMS
I would love to! But i think it would only be worth it for more popular ROMs.

I use torrents a lot!
The beauty of torrent is the ability to verify files being downloaded. It just might end the problem of file corruption during download ....
Probably one of the best ideas for exchanging ROMs. I hope that the rest of the devs will do the same.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
I would, but only for popular ROMs which would have more seeders. Torrents can't be used for ROMs which aren't so popular as it would result in slow downloads. Besides, torrents are much faster and no need to "Wait 60 seconds or go premium" or writing Capatchas.
This can be a solution. The only problem I see is keeping the latest version of a rom. Since lots of people may not be able to read posts it can be a lot of work for the devs to keep their opening posts updated with the latest sources.
This may not be such a big problem here in the DS forum since we are not so many (sadly the DS is not one of HTCs bestsellers) - but imagine the bashing if some don't read the latest torrent written two posts before.
Nevertheless, torrents can help, but I agree only for popular roms.
Agree completely, but yes, we need seeders....
Also the attitude of the people out here, if you download, seed it back!!!!
My main concern is speed, has to be at least 100kb/s, thus seeders are going to be a concern.
Thanks for all the replys, ok then so what ROM's do you think we should do to start with?
Definitely primo and ice cold sandwich
Swyped from my HTC Desire S....
I agree this is a good idea but unless someone has a seedbox which can seed round the clock 24/7 I can't see it working because most people won't seed back thus another dead torrent.

Well I have created the page in the dev section with the links here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559247
And my laptop for all new torrents will be running at least solidly for a good few days, I do only have about 150kb/s upload so it will not be amazing fast to start with but will add new torrents once people have download the others etc.
SEED men SEED!!!
@zacthespack
What would also be awesome if it can also be uploaded to Usenet.
Also it must be a split file with par2 files.
I have dedicated seedbox and 100 Mbit FTH line. Will look at this later if there is a need.

Once my seedbox sorts itself out mine will be used for this to, over the day I have had quite a few hits so it looks like people really are interested.
More seedboxs the better, check out the dev thread on it for the torrents running at the mo, once my seedbox is working I shall do many many more
Torrents might be a good idea for the latest ROMs but the older (maybe more stable once) will have lower seeds IMHO.
Anyway, my laptop (office equipment) dsnt allow me to use torrents on any network.
Personally I wouldn't. I DL ROMs directly from my phone, and I don't know how to use torrents on my PC anyway
I don't mind if the dev includes a torrent, as long as they include a regular DL aswell.

Well yes I think the devs should still give a normal link, but so many complain of slow downloads etc a torrent option would give them something else to use
(plus it is very easy to use torrents and there are torrent clients for android even)
