Host Wanted To Host Exe & ZIP Files - Must Allow Direct Links From My F2s Site

[JustinSurfer]

To host downloads .ie i want to be able to link directly to the download from my site , must be a decent ftp server and quite a good bandwidth limit.

we have had 8,000 page views so far this month

URL : winxp.coreworldstech.com

I don't know, but i always used Multimania.com or Nbci.com
Especially Multimania is good for me. They are really fast and their FTP works great.

If they are only a few bytes big like they say there are on your download page i see no one will have a problem with it, hehe :)

[JustinSurfer]

it should be kilobytes , not bytes!

[martian]

You mean you can't link to files on other servers?

[JustinSurfer]

i mean i want one that allows it , i can on f2s but some webspace providers do not let me link directly to exe's off f2s on their hosting

[ducktape]

dedicated server

Basically he's looking for a host stupid enough to give him free bandwidth and transfer in return for nothing. You'd think there would be tons of places that would allow this, but surprisingly there aren't. News at 11.

[JustinSurfer]

Lineone but they only give me 200mb bandwidth a week , i am not quite up to that level yet , but will be getting there soon!

[martian]

Now I'm sure Multimania.com allows this. A friend of me has a site at F2S and he links to files on Multimania and it works without any problem...

[JustinSurfer]

they're homepage takes ages to load , what sort of transfer speeds do you reckon i could get on 56k - downloading

+ It's in french

ENGLISH PLEASE - LOL

[Bruce]

you could always use one of those translators

[martian]

Yeah i know, it's in French, i know a little bit French. And their homepage loads very fast for me. Also I can download at high speed. This is the sign-up page: http://www.multimania.fr/general/abon/

I'll try to translate it:

Confirmez votre mot de passe : (again your password)
Adresse Email courante : (valid e-mail adress: you have to confirm your request for a sign-up: they will send an confirmation e-mail)

Sexe : Homme Femme (male/female)
Adresse : (adress)
Code postal : Ville : (city)

Veuillez resaisir les chiffres suivants : typ the numbers you see on the page over

the rest of the (blue) you don't have to fill in...
click 'suite'
on the next page (TOS) click on 'j'accepte'

Ok, you're finished
Check your e-mail and click on the confirmation link.

Hope i've helped you a little bit

[JustinSurfer]

but how do you go about uploading stuff?

[bobyx]

No wonder so many hosts go down...
You fill up their servers and connections with files from which they get no ad revenue.

I'm sure that when a host finds out that the site has no pageviews but takes a lot of bandwidth, they'll delete it.
The only host that actually allowed that was stas.net, but the are dead now. Probably because of this...

I know this because it happened to me... I had about 50megs of files at crosswinds and tripod and one day everything was gone.

[Cracker]

I don't think Crosswinds and Tripod allow leeching of files from other servers. They just intercept it with their own pages.

ftp.multimania.com

Thanx

I just looked at little bit around on the site and I saw that Multimania has:
*PHP and MYSQL (you must activate it)
*they offer unlimited webspace
*they have almost no ads... sometimes, a popup-ad appears...
