@Fastfinge: Thanks! I now have my answer: it uses a 301 Moved Permanently redirect, which takes you to the file, authenticated by the cookie they send in the redirection. This is not curl-friendly, but its by no means terrible, either.Thanks again.URL:

Id not recommend mediafire sinse the site seems really cluttered, and even downloading is a pain. Regarding sendspace and privacy Ive never run into problems myself, the only time Ive heard of someone running afowl of sss privacy policy is when they constantly bugged

I didnt mean the captures on mediafire specifically socheat. Last time O downloaded from them I had a struggle to find the download link then I had to go through several different pages just to find the file, indeed I believe at that point they even had a timer system

Hi,I agree about mediafire, and even with NVDA its a pain.l The folder system on there is a joke, I had to maximize the window, try clicking on the link that said list, then maximize again. It got really weird and odd, so I just gave up after a while.URL:

You could also run your own server at home but it would be about the same as Amazon AWS, except it wont work if your server goes down. Unless you are trying to save a bit of money on AWS, I dont think theres anything better than that. Or you could use some other

Yeah, I actually considered using git-annex to manage file versioning with a private repo and an EBS-equipped EC2 instance, but thought it was all a bit too much just to avoid the inconvenience of making a second copy. Besides then I would have to remember where all

@fastfinge: Your shared web+BTSync is a very neat idea. I might be able to extend it to syncing to S3 (and hence distribution via CloudFront), actually. Or I could set something up from Rackspace to Akamai (I have access to that through Rackspace Cloud Files). The

Well Sebby it is true that sendspace is a file sharing rather than storage system, but there is no reason you cant use it for storage either, indeed Ive done this myself on occasions, and abilities to create folders whererever and organize your files easily help with

Re: Alternative To Dropbox
I personally am a big fan of sendspace. with the pro account you get 1.2 tb of space and absolutely perminant hosting with no file size limits, as opposed to I believe 10 gb space, 300 mb size limits and auto deletion after 30 days of no downloads on a free account.

I do not believe there is a web UI. Files are simply shared with 2 or more computers using the hard disk space. So, if one of them runs out well, bye bye goes the syncing for that computer!URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=172617#p172617
