Subject: Need a free download host with no BANDWIDTH issues!


Mugsey ( ) posted Wed, 30 March 2005 at 7:10 PM · edited Mon, 02 December 2024 at 2:39 PM

Hi folks - My bandwidth is frozen until April and nobody can get my freestuff till then - this is crapola! - does anybody know a free webhosting service that can hold quite a few files for folks to be able to get without seein that stupid SITE FROZEN - MONTHLY BANDWIDTH EXCEEDED stuff?

How much space do you need Mugsey ? and for how long ?


Mugsey ( ) posted Wed, 30 March 2005 at 11:23 PM

For now-200 to 300 meg,and preferably indefinitely... HOWEVER - my stuff can be freely distributed by ANYONE for download on their own site, or on CD media on their site - provided that: #1, The site does NOT go beyond "NC-17" rated material on the site (Nudity and adult themes,fine - gross x rated material or profane/vulgar material that may even violate legal standards - huh uh,no way.) #2, You cannot charge a registration fee for someone to gain access to the materials.Free registration for access sure, no prob. #3, It can't be offered as a freebie only if you buy something else - it has to be open to all. #4, If it's distributed on a CD-ROM - you can only charge the adjusted cost/value of the blank disk media that it's been recorded on + accurate postage and handling - and the software must not be password protected. Now if I could find a site that offers 50 -100 meg with no bandwidth problems I'de be happy - but I wouldn't want my friends saturated with spyware,LOL.

You can try freewebs. I'm not sure if they cap bandwidth or not but they seem to be a pretty good host.


Mugsey ( ) posted Thu, 31 March 2005 at 12:05 AM

I'm on freewebs now - they cap at 500 MEG.LOL


Birddie ( ) posted Thu, 31 March 2005 at 12:30 AM

I wasn't sure. at 500 megs? dam.


Birddie ( ) posted Thu, 31 March 2005 at 12:33 AM · edited Thu, 31 March 2005 at 12:35 AM

geocities caps, tripod caps, angelfire just sucks ass period, fortunecities is just down the toilet for a freebie, they cap, umm, what's left then lol? not much really sad, I need a homepage myself. Tripod UK used to be good, no restrictions not sure about their bandwidth though. Hw about netfirms? they used to be good, even had cgi capabilties. I havent checked themout recently but im sure they must cap too. not too many options left.

freewebspace is no good - just checked them out (Mugsey collapses to the ground sobbing into his shirtsleeve a deep sucking cry) "Oh..No.....All is lost....DAMN YOU - YOU MANIACS,YOU DID IT DIDN'T YOU?!!!...YOU DESTROYED THE MOOCHERDOM!!!...AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!

Have you contacted your ISP? They offer packages... free for a small amount, but usually reasonably priced for larger packages. I use www.bappy.com. I don't know how much you get for free space because I pay for a site of 200 megs which has worked for me for about 3 years now. I will have to upgrade to more this year though as my site has grown considerably from the time I started it. Have a look and see if there is anything there that can help you.

no good? did you try the search? That's what I use it for mainly. they have a forum that you can browse that offer up some new freebie hosting. or, you may have to buy a domain, and host it. it's really not that expensve anymore. you can get some hosting paackages for under 60 dollars a year, if you look hard enough. ;)

My current ISP package doesn't have a free webspace opton - I'm working on the absolute cheap,LOL.


Francemi ( ) posted Thu, 31 March 2005 at 1:14 AM

There is http://www.freehomepages.com/ that offer 50MB (maybe more) space with unlimited bandwidth. I guess you could always have more than one website. Many hosts allow that (I had 5 websites at iQuec for a few years and they even had a webspace where I could access all my websites from). France

Mugsey ( ) posted Thu, 31 March 2005 at 1:16 AM

I'll check it out - I can get by with 50 megs - it's gettin your site frozen over bandwidth that gets people ticked off with ya.LOL


Birddie ( ) posted Thu, 31 March 2005 at 1:18 AM

there's gotta be a catch? unlimited bandwidth?


Mugsey ( ) posted Thu, 31 March 2005 at 1:21 AM

I now impart upon you divine wisdom - 90 percent of all problems that you will ever have in life is either the direct,or indirect result of OTHER PEOPLE! - Yes - there must always be a catch...Otherwise the universe as we know it would collapse in on itself and murphy would throw a fit,LOL :)


Francemi ( ) posted Thu, 31 March 2005 at 1:23 AM

Well let us know what the catch is at freehomepages ok? ;o)

Birddie ( ) posted Thu, 31 March 2005 at 1:29 AM

lol, yea, welp. There's always a catch to feebies, either file size limit or bandwidth limit, either or. ::big grin::


Mugsey ( ) posted Thu, 31 March 2005 at 1:29 AM

ok-You can do images,text,yada yada yada yada - not zips or downloadables.Says you can contact the webmaster though...hmmmm...I smell spybot...LOL.


Birddie ( ) posted Thu, 31 March 2005 at 1:33 AM

What types of files may I upload? By default, you are allowed to upload files with the .html, .htm, .txt, .gif, .jpg and .jpeg. If you think that another file type may be supported by your host, try uploading a file of that type and an error will appear if it is not allowed, otherwise the file will upload. this is fom their FAQ, I didnt see zip extensions listed?


Mugsey ( ) posted Thu, 31 March 2005 at 1:35 AM

No- Ididn't either...and...I know I am,but what am I? LMAO :D

Tripod UK, lets you do any file types. you just have to put up with a side bar and a popup or two. Better than most hosts, they give you a free php database. I might end up there myself. You can host an American site too, 50 megs of space.


Francemi ( ) posted Thu, 31 March 2005 at 1:36 AM

Maybe you'd best ask them before signing up. Then again, maybe THAT is the catch. ;o)

True - so true...I might do that - but I've dealt with TRIPOD before - and they are not much better than Angelfire...by the way,they call it Angelfire because IT'S SATAN'S ISP - MWA HA HA HAAAAARRRRRR! Gee whiz...anybody got some Prozac or Lithium or Ridillen or Methadone or something? LOL.


Birddie ( ) posted Thu, 31 March 2005 at 1:45 AM

Birddie ( ) posted Thu, 31 March 2005 at 4:59 AM

let me know how ya do? would like to see mugseys's homepage. :)


mrsparky ( ) posted Thu, 31 March 2005 at 5:18 AM

I faced this one. My solution 1. Get a cheap hosting deal with your main domain stick only thumnbail images on this. 2. Then get multiple freebie mirrors which only hosts the files. About 4 or 5 does the trick. You might need an index or a simple page that says click here to avoid the rules like on angelfire. al

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.



Richard T ( ) posted Thu, 31 March 2005 at 6:38 AM · edited Thu, 31 March 2005 at 6:40 AM

http://www.doteasy.com/
Gives 100 MB storage and 1GB of Bandwidth/Month.

Of course you have to pay for you domain name.

I don't use it as my freebie bandwdth usage is 40-50GB.Month and my storage is 850MB (at the moment.

Thanks Rick - I'll just make due with what I have - that's really all I can do right now.I hope folks don't get too upset when they hit a wall and the sight stays down for two weeks a month.


softriver ( ) posted Fri, 01 April 2005 at 7:42 AM

dreamhost. 8 dollars a month gets more transfer than you'll need in a lifetime. If you still can't afford it, send me an e-mail at softriver@studioverite.com and I'll see about hosting for you. We've got more transfer and drive space than we can use by a ton.


Mugsey ( ) posted Fri, 01 April 2005 at 9:41 AM

Well - right now I'm between jobs,gas is over $2.00 a gallon,groceries aint cheap,and I'm gettin calls from creditors,LOL - I needs to find me freebie deals!lol
