This is pissing me off...

Emily Meeks · 07-09-2009, 09:26 PM

I have a giant package of products that I'm planning to use as a OTO. The entire folder is nearly half a gig.

I am having the hardest hell of a time finding a place to host it.

I tried my webhost, but nooooooooo it had to take up 77% of disk-space and then apparently when it was finally downloaded, the damn thing wouldn't open.

Apparently, free file-hosting services are also crap, because they require you to wait. I did this as a temporary solution so people could give testimonials, buttttttttttttt I don't even think they can give them, because of the time it takes to download.

I NEED A GOOD FILE-HOSTING SERVICE WITH A FREE TRIAL. Know of any?

How much storage do you need. You can store on my server if you need.

localbandpost · 07-09-2009, 09:34 PM

The tag is quite funny

localbandpost · 07-09-2009, 09:36 PM

or if you think you can break the files into 100mb segments I have found a place with unlimited storage...

I broke up the package into several segments... do you know how long download times would take and if people have to wait between downloads?

I probably won't need any more than 1 GB, having it all in one package would be great. How much would you charge for server space?

localbandpost · 07-09-2009, 09:46 PM

Nothing for server space, you would be the first person I allowed into my FTP but, you appear to be an established WF member, so I believe I can trust you.

If you have filezilla then PM me and I'll get you set up!

localbandpost · 07-09-2009, 09:48 PM

The space on my server is unlimited!!!!!

Istvan Horvath · 07-09-2009, 09:52 PM

As a user/buyer I always prefer to get such "giant" packages in smaller chunks, i.e.
products 1-10
products 11-20
products 21-30 etc.

It works much better on any kind of internet connection than having one single huge file that takes ages to download. Just my $0.02

With all due respect... there is no such thing as "unlimited" everything. Hosts know well that 95% of the websites will never use as much as it is allocated to one hosting package, so they go around pimping "unlimited webspace and/or bandwidth". The reality is that neither of those is unlimited: the resources on any machine are limited and the bandwidth is also limited.

localbandpost · 07-09-2009, 10:09 PM

Check PM, instructions there!!!

pmlharry · 07-09-2009, 10:11 PM

Contradictory, but so so true. You don't really get "unlimited" space/bandwidth even if you are on an "unlimited" plan. Read the fine print and you'll see the limits there.

So what choice do you have?

I suggest you go take a look at Amazon's S3 service. It's NOT a "pay a flat fee and get unlimited storage" deal, but it's pay-for-what-you-use, is relatively cheap and is as reliable as it gets. Perhaps this will suit your needs?

localbandpost · 07-09-2009, 10:15 PM

I have your file ready, once you reply I will set you up with the info needed to access the folder.

terryd · 07-10-2009, 12:04 AM

Wow, that's going to be a huge download for people and would take ages (here in NZ anyway).

I'd imagine it's going to cost someone an arm and a leg in bandwidth somewhere along the line....

Katie Rich · 07-10-2009, 12:51 AM

Maybe make the download split into 3 or 4 seperate packs? I too dislike huge downloads that take forever and don't usually continue if it looks like it will take hours.

No hosting is unlimited, my resell says unlimited, but when I make packages, there are limits in the amount I can add. Good eh!

Good luck with your listbuilding.

PeteHarrison · 07-10-2009, 01:25 AM

Hi,

You could try Amazon S3, not free but very cheap and extremely reliable.
