Is server4 like a Siberia for files or something? :)

yeah, looks like it. It actually has a longer downtime than domanidlx. :(

arnel98 wrote:uploadit is cool as long as they dont put ur stuff in server4. but somehow, they dont like me anymore coz everytime i upload new stuff, it goes to server4 :(
I actually almost bought the premium package. If I get a bw exceeded msg on webpost, then I'm really gonna get the premium.

If you hadn't already bought it, i was gonna say maybe you coulda just kept on registering until you gotten a server that's non-server4! ;)

i havent bought one yet - trying to make do with webpost. But in uploadit, you dont actually need to register. Jus tupload ur file and remember the link and thats it. no personal info involved.

Yep. There is a five uploads per day (600K file size max) limit on the free uploads, though.

is http://www.webpost.net/ a pay site?

its also free but only 1mb storage space.
try uploadit it first and see if they put u in a nice server (anything not server4.uploadit.org)

Hey Arnel, have you been to the uploadIt! site lately? There was a note apologizing for the problems with Server 4 and 5... So they weren't out to get you, bud. :D

hey thanks for letting me know. I should try uploadit again since i only have like 50k left on webpost. :sweat:

ahhh!!!
webpost.net is down today. Cant even connect to their site. :(

Someone (Id_?) mentioned a Sony image site: www.imagestation.com... It looks pretty good, but I haven't tried it...

C'mon man, spend that lunch money and sign up with uploadit. They've had very few hiccups. :)

most often, your ISP has space for you. also, if you are still in college, your college usually has webspace too.

i've got 3 accounts with my isp with 15 MBs each.
my university gives me 250MBs of space aswell.

True, but will they let you link to the pictures outside of the site itself? That seems to be the problem most people are having...

Yeah, mine does offer it but bw is limited to 500mb/month. That's not gonna be enough for me. ;)

sucky. 500 MB/s month to host a few avatars and pictures should be good enough for this board.

yeah i host pictures, mp3s, zips, and a bunch of other crap from both my ISP and university accounts.

well if u have like 6 jpgs posted at 250kb each like in those artist galleries, it will only take 334 hits and u've already reached 500mb. Assuming a modest 20 hits/day, and that will last u roughly 17 days.
But yes, if u dont post big pics, 500mb is more than enough. ;)

I scale down the pics anyways to around 50K-60K, 'cause some of us :rolleyes: don't have a broadband connection... :sweat: :hehe:

oh yeah, opps =D

seems like the animated GIFs and large pictures are the rage here. Those can eat up hungry bandwidth.
