Sharing sets: A modest proposal

Re: Sharing sets: A modest proposal

The thing that really cracks me up it's that we aren't talking about a dedicated server here (mine is 3200 eu a year), LOL, just a group of people who have met each day for years now getting A BIT MORE organized to share sets .

Re: Sharing sets: A modest proposal

I 100% agree with the great mediafire's service, i have no complain about it. What I'm care of is the long run sustainability. I mean, are u 100% sure in 5 years mediafire wil be up?

IMO, i dont think so. PIPA, SOPA or any crazy act could close it easily.

Best solutions, FTP

One of the things I love about Mediafire is that innovation thing, they are working continually to deal with the situation. They want the system to work. Which is really good for all of us. I am quietly confident that they will still be around in 5 years But having said that, we can't guarantee anyone will be around in 5 years

Btw people are fighting those crazy acts. Hopefully the tide is turning a little in our favour, and it will be companies like Mediafire that help us.

Whats this?

I'd have no problem throwing in on a Soundcloud Pro account. It would be sweet and unlimited uploads with ppl using the dropbox interface. The main thing would be just creating 'sets' and keeping all the incoming shit organized.

I don't think we could do anything to restrict downloads to MS referrer links though, so everyone would be able to leech the shit out of everything and cross-post links to other forums etc.

I'm doing it anyway in 4 days, the rest is up to youse.

Directly to my paypal, nothing special. Let's wait for me purchasing an account.

(I wonder: do people realize that the Web was only created 20 years ago and that 5 years are a huge amount of time in Web terms?)

Interesting. Google seems to be a great optiion.

Re: Sharing sets: A modest proposal

Using google, you could also control who has access.... rather than just sharing a link, an account would have to be granted permission.

Use this thread to ask for re-upor join the DP folder and upload a list.

So far, feedback is overwhelming!

Re: Sharing sets: A modest proposal

^^One big huge thing to note: That Shared folder will count against your storage quota. So If you have a 2G free account and get added to the Shared folder, if someone uploads 500MB of stuff your quota goes down by that much.

Re: Sharing sets: A modest proposal

The DP is just for exchanging lists, requests and the rare set here and there, disk quota is enough.

^^ So then we are not talking about the magnitude of say something along the lines of what mixwalla.com used to be??
