Why are we still using Rapidshare and Megaupload?

It's not my server. I'm using sugarsync. I pay monthly for 30GB of storage so I can sync/backup files between my laptop, netbook, and desktop. But you can get a free account with 2GB of storage easily.

Either way you can share individual files with a public link (like the one above) or you can share a whole folder of files, but other people have to have an account to view it. I intend to download most of the ROMS here to a single folder which I'll share for easy access by SS users later.

I wonder if I'm making this too confusing. Let me know if you have questions or if I need to re-explain.

I realise that, i was stating that getting your own host/domain seems to be the best/cheapest way. You dont have a limit to storage or bandwidth. How much do you pay for 30gb of storage?

$5/month. But in my case the primary use is the sync between multiple computers with versioning. I just discovered the public links feature and thought it would be a perfect way to solve the problem of ad supported third-party download services. Just trying to find a way to give back to the community since I don't have the time/patience to create a quality ROM like I'd like to.

If you want to go with dreamhost, its a little over $4 a month if you pay for a year. I am just saying this would be the best way at least for me. How much bandwidth do you have for it?

Unlimited bandwidth, but it's only a storage platform. I can't host a site or anything off it. It is handsdown the best sync service I've seen. It's like dropbox but better with a touch of awesome.
