Re: Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro (RAPH800)

MediaFire is a good idea. Here is the info on their free and paid accounts:
Quote:
Mediafire free accounts are restricted to uploads of 200 MB per file and files are deleted if they are not accessed every 30 days. Also, when free users share download links, their downloaders are directing to the advertising supported Mediafire pages.
Because of those restrictions we do not charge for bandwidth on Mediafire free accounts.

However, with Mediapro, there are several features you do not get with a free account. You can upload up to 2G at a time, and all of your files are hotlinked so that your downloaders do not visit any Mediafire pages when downloading. There are several other features such as statistical reporting, the ability to embed files and unlimited storage time regardless of file access. To support these features and many more, MediaPro users are charged for bandwidth use.
As long as we don't start getting files over 200MB, we should be fine. As often as newer builds come out, I don't think there should be a problem with the 1 month time frame either. Figure it will be 1.5-2 months after a release before it would be deleted, and by then there shouldn't be that much of a need for the older ones. If they are needed, it is pretty easy to re-upload. Also, it has RSS for those that want to be informed of new releases faster. For the RSS to work you have to setup a folder and put the files in there when you upload them in case you didn't know.
