[QUOTE=DaveTN;1929381]The reason we are downloading from the same fileshare site is because its free. You can do either of three things.
1. put up with the free "hotfile" like most of us do.
2. Sign up for a premium paid membership to hotfile and get faster and unlimited downloads.
3. Hit NRG's "Donate" button and send him a $10,000.00 donation to get him started with a file serer and a years worth of high speed hosting. (We will ALL thank you for that).

Also, you have to look at it from PPCgeeks perspective. With over 30,000 members and hundreds of chefs with multiple ROMS, that translates into an awful lot of server space and bandwidth for PPCGeeks to dish out. And, since its free and their budget is limited, its doubtful that they will host anything larger than a few cabs. (which is also whi I don't like to re-post cabs that are already on the site)


Agreed, hotfile is a PITA but its free and you get what you pay for...

As far as sharing the roms on torrents etc, I would strongly discourage that becasue files tend to pick up extra baggage when they float around on torrents so I tend to avoid them like the plague...most of the time.

Also, keeping the downloads in one place is very important for the chefs as it lets them update all the files at once withut having to track down mirrors and such. It just makes things easier. And since he's working on (probably limited) donations, free is good, but I wouldn't push it too much.

He is also able to track downloads easier so he knows what is most popular, etc. I hate Hotfile but love NRG's roms and besides, if I had $10,000, I wouldn't be here posting...I'd be lost in Mexico for awhile.

well i doubt he's going to do that just because everything he has set up now is on hotfile, guess you could pm him or twitter him and ask him and see what he says, just don't be surprised if you don't get a response back or if he says no.

1. Archived - ROMS that I have flashed but will likely not use again.
2. Stable - ROM's that I have flashed and liked that I will go back to if needed.
3. Current - ROM's that are new and currently running on my phone or that I will flash to in the future.

I also have an "apps and tools" folder which I keep useful cabs and programs in that I don't necessarily need to keep on my storage card.

I keep several of my favorite cabs - the ones I load every time I flash - in a ROM download folder on my storage card.

Keeps me organized and makes the flashing and reflashing process more easy and streamlined.

Just my 0.02

I do the same thing, I try to limit how many roms i keep in those folders because my computer is from 2004 lol not too much hard drive space. I keep maybe 10 roms total, i delete older ones when they get beat out by a new rom thats outstanding. If i know im never flashing that rom i have to delete it or old yeller (my computers name) will crash again lol maybe its time to take that old comp out to the backyard and shoot it

way off topic, but I went off and ran android on this thing and..I'm blown away. I really dislike how windows had started to fall behind everyone with everything.

Now I'm considering on the Epic 4g when 4g hits NYC

I cant see myself going to android, pocketnow has some great reviews about windows phone 7 on youtube. they improved a GREAT deal, now what i want to see is improvement on third party apps.

I can see where you're going with that. I've been going on pocketnow everyday (maybe too much) and checking the W7 stuff there. Impressive, but definitely goes to say that the reign of WM is slowly but surely coming to a dead end

Way off topic.. come on guys... but as long as we are there... why not pop droid on your sd card? 1 cab, takes a few minutes..

Why? I believe I can get the latest flash & run all the shows e.g. tv.com... skyfire is toooooo choppy & sound keeps getting messed up.

Would have been done & had a report for you, but I was on Cookie thread trying to get a transparent clock face for "Compact flip clock" (don't like the white) & installed 2 cabs.. Now sense won't load & I've even backed uninstalled the cabs.... SO, I have to hspl... may as well try that Aug 28th I swore I wasn't going to touch!! LOL

BTW BioDat, was trying to empty the T-tank, & you just happen to have a bunch of posts real close by :>))

so where's the link to this one cab that you can run droid off of the sd card? I'm not interested in switching over of course but wouldn't mind messing around with it for a bit as long as it's a dual boot type thing and i don't have to flash to it.
