hello
i have setup a website www.our-xda.co.uk as a portal for downloading roms and other cool stuff that used to be available from xda-developers ftp site.
i have started by uploading artemis roms etc the phone i actually have but in order to be effective i need other roms from the other devices. please can users with these devices log-on to the website and upload whatever they have and i will make them available for others to share and so we can continue to develop these devices.
thanks

wheres my confirmation email
You have a PM
Great to see your reposity-making for xda roms. Just a few opinion:
1. See nothing for uploading rom and ext rom.
2. Why don't you setup an ftp server for others can upload/download with resume-option? It's important cause Rom size is always about 40 MB, and upload thru web interface is risky - especially your site is sometimes slow.
3. Have checked Alpine in Download, there is a Rom with size 4MB. No Rom with this size, man.
Thank for hearing me.
Most of the downloads here including ROMs are on RapidShare. I understand whyt RapidShare requires you to enter an access code. However, you have to enter only the characters with cats on them. I can't tell which characters have cats and which don't. So I can't access any files. Based on a Google search, I'm not the only one with this problem. Is there another service where these files can be posted?

Appreciate the replies regarding alternative places to store files. Hopefully those who post ROMs etc would be kind enough to use one of those alternative locations.

Latest News
06:30G - Network issue is resolved and VBN Server is back online !
Sep 27 - VBN File Server is facing network issues and DC Techs have been notified. ETA for resolution in 08:00 GMT 09/27
People are ending up with smaller than actual files and corrupt downloads. File Server app has been shutdown to prevent this. However, FTP service is still alive
Aug 27 : All image (png/bmp/jpg/gif) files have been removed from the xda/* repository...I still have backup of all of them...if anybody is missing them or didnt move them, please PM with the filenames and I will move them to your respective "images" folder
On Aug 26 - 10 AM Sing Time ALL image files hosted under xda/* folders will be removed permanently
VBNFILES was started as a free alternative for Chefs to host ROM and related cabs, etc. It is not a free image hosting alternative and such files put lot of connection load on the server software which interrupts smooth functioning and service.
All Chefs are adviced to take backup of their images asap.
Update on Images Cleanup :
A new virtual link (images) has been created under ftp root for each Chef. This is exclusively for image hosting. You can move all your images here using ftp.
For access use, http://178.63.69.46 or http://gallery.vbnfiles.com (domain may appear worldwide active in few hours)
These directories will periodically (every 15 mins) be checked for file extensions and only following are allowed in it : jpg bmp png gif (If you need others, please contact me asap)
As always, any concerns or queries dont hesitate to drop me an email or reply to this thread. Appreciate everyone's support in this matter.

On Current Server :

* Write Access via web is closed
Files are being moved over to new server and domains have been propogated which should reflect in next few hours. End-users should not face any downtime, however, there could be intermittent connection issues.
A new notice will be posted as soon as we are up and fully running from new server (Next 12 hours)

wow, man thats very kind of you!
if possible, how about allowing ftp uploads for chefs? would save you time and it would be self maintaining. what sort of storage limitations you have there?
Gavin
Fantastic!
I am working on the FTP side now... will be ready soon. I'll send you a login via PM.
Also in the works is Remote Upload... i.e. chefs can provide links to Rapidshare, Hotfile and 4Shared and my server will pull the link and make it ready in appropriate folders for download. Once ready it will send an email to the chef saying that its ready. I am working on this automation actively now.
I got no storage limitation (as far file sharing goes ) ... my server is with 1.5TB in Raid1 and almost 80% empty

that is extremely generous of you, i cant believe you would do this! wow
can i ask, since ftp is not me area of expertise, is is possible that the server could generate a MD5 of uploaded files, so we can compare to our originals and ensure we get working files? crc errors are a biatch (especially for those of us with incredible unrelaible net connections).

I think its possible...I am trying to eliminate all the hassles involved in post-production of ROMs so that chefs can breathe easy and do what they do best "COOK"
Looking into this...will update you soon
Btw: I can send SMS also when file is done but it costs money...so I'll keep it for later

2. Remote Uploads from Rapidshare/Hotfile/4Shared
3. Email/SMS alerting when upload is done
4. Rendering of ROM pictures for each ROM file next to the file link (ROM pictures to be uploaded also by chef)

I know what you mean...just got confused myself reading it again
Anyways, its for later stage. Heres what I was thinking for later :
(1) ROM is uploaded to ftp along with few image files (img_ prefix)
(2) My file download/browsing script (under developement) will show each set of images next to the rom download link
Its mostly cosmetics actually
Also for remote download from other file hosts (RS/Hotfile/4S), I have this in plan :
(1) Simple text file with predefined paramater and formatting like ROM link, destination folder, etc.
(2) Chef uploads this simple text file using ftp
(3) My automation software detects in realtime and starts working on the download. It creates a status webpage in the same dir which can be viewed by the chef to see realtime download status
Please provide me ideas/inputs on the above. We can anyways tweak things whichever once in full flow
Wow! Great Stuff!
Thank you...I am open to FTP login requests...strictly for ROMs and related stuff. Its not a file host !
The folders that are already created in "ROM" ... I have begun creating ftp logins and distributing to the chefs. Its upto them if they want to use it or not. If not, I will help upload stuff and keep it updated as much as I can
I'm very interested in this, and game for a ftp login Wish you all the luck in the world with this, it looks amazing!
Can't wait for the remote upload!

Remote Upload working good at backend in my test lab .... working on frontend now and some debugging
1. File pulls from Rapidshare and Hotfile are running smooth. 4Shared still buggy but I am on it.
Will release implementation this weekend (my office net blocks all sharing sites so cannot work during office hrs )
I will select one of the chefs to whom I have already sent the ftp logins and activate his/her folder for remote pull. After some testing (a couple of days and few files), I will activate on all remaining folders.
2. Statistics for File Downloads (Hits/Downloads/etc) - Still finding a proper solution. Linux is so much simpler but Windows ... aayyiiiaaayyiii
3. SMS for file uploaded/new rom available to end users/etc. is working but switched off by me because of cost constraints. Its cool though (I currently use Clickatell gateway, anyone can recommend a cheaper provider with HTTP/S api for connectivity? )
hey fellow singaporean, could u please host NRG ROMS? they look worthy of testing but damn hotfile won't let me download... alot of people who experince problems with filesharing websites will really appreciate this

Files are being pulled to server as I write this....ETA 20 mins
Here you go -> http://xda.vbnhost.com:8080/HD2/ROM/NRG/
Enjoy !
95 GB worth of files transferred in 3 days !
Anyone care for a server where all the cooks can upload there releases in a proper organized way? I have the possibility to donate some space on a server if you'd care for it...
Try androidspin.com
http://androidspin.com/ already hosts a bevy of roms for various devices. I'm sure the admins of that site would kindly oblige to host roms of cooked for the HD2
What?
andromirror.com is a Free Android ROM Hosting service. The Idea is to provide a simple hosting solution with many (awesome?) Features for both, the user and the developer. Users should not waste their time searching for the changelog or install instructions. And developers should not waste their time (re)uploading a ROM to serveral mirrors, posting the changelog in different places and keep telling ppl where to find the install instructions.
tl:dr Free hosting solution for your android ROMs
Features
User Features:
See Changelog, Install instructions, latest Release and additional Files on one single page
See live upload progress while dev is uploading a new Release (no more F5) (not working right now)
Autogenerated MD5-sum for every file
Developer Features:
Simple Web Interface, for managing your ROM
Automatically publish Release after upload
MD5 check before upload (no upload needed if file exists on server)
Continue Upload after error (lost connection..)
One link for the latest file + changelog. No need to copy and paste on every release.
Live Downloadcounter
Get Download stats
json API
Planed Features:
cyan ota app support
own ota app
Using it
andromirror is not ready for public yet. If you want to host your rom here in the future, or you wanna help testing, contact me:
IRC: #sgs_jb on freenode.net (ask for DarkArgon)

Support me
If you want to support this service you either can donate to me or support me by giving feedback or just showing me that you're interested somehow.
