User Guides Share your files (Updated)

You got a file which you want to share with your friends.

Fine
you have the following alternatives:
1) Dropload

Old service. Pretty limited in the sense that you can email the file link to only one person at a time. However it displays the full uploading info and is cool if you just wanna share a big file with one of your friend.

Recipients you specify are sent an email with instructions on how to download the file. Files are removed from the system after 7 days, regardless if they have been picked up or not. You can upload any type of file, mp3, movies, docs, pdfs, up to 100MB each! Recipients can be anyone with an email address

Pros: The large file size of 100mb and progress indicator
Cons: very feature limited, can't share with multiple users. Files deleted after 7 days irrespective of anyone picking them up. Very slow uploads.

2) YouSendIt

Cool service with a snag. Interface is clean and good. Uploads are fast. Basically you upload a file and then it gives you a link which you can share with others. The file can be downloaded through the link a max of 15 times unless you do the following hack ;)

Code: 
[b]Step 1[/b]: Upload and get link using Yousendit
Here is the link fortvviewer.exe , a cool little application for viewing tv on computer
[url]http://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3TAF2R7RH4IX62LPRPACRXC1M0[/url]

[b]Step 2[/b]:
Add this to the front of your link:
[url]http://anonym.to/?[/url]
(anonym.to is a free and easy way to block the referrer when a visitor clicks a link on your homepage. It works with every browser as you do only have to add a [url]http://anonym.to/?[/url] in front of every outgoing http:// link.)

This is what it should look like:
[url]http://anonym.to/?http://s19.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3TAF2R7RH4IX62LPRPACRXC1M0[/url]

[b]Step 3[/b]:
Paste link into browser and download like normal. It will redirect you to the regular Yousendit page. Now with no download limit.

Prosp: Clean interface. Fast upload. Upload progress indicator along with a max file size limit of 1GB, Encrypted and secure., Works with Download manager.
Cons: Pretty hard to say. But mostly the link dying. Won't happen with the hack above.

3) Rapidshare

A very nice german site. No hassles with this one. Just browse your file and upload. Max file size supported 20MB. The biggest advantage is that any number of people can download the file. Usually a file if not accessed will be deleted after 30days. Certainly the easiest to use among the lot. Flip side is that you see lots of ads and while downloading you have to wait a few sconds before you can download.(Not thats it really matters but then its a bit of a nag)

Pros: Easy to use, and download, No download limit. Any number of people can download the same file.
Cons: ads ads ads, and a waiting time to download the file. Site has popups too. Max file size only 20MB. Does not work with download manager.

4) PutFile

Here is another cool service for sharing the files. Dedicated linux hosting. It lets you upload images, flash or movies. The files also remain on servers for a period of 6 months without anyone accessing them. Although there are restrictions on the file size and formats, this is still a good long term alternative to rapidshare. wmv .avi .mpg .mov .asf .swf supported along with all image formats. size limit: 2MB for images, 10MB for videos and flash

Pros: Long term access. Flash upload supported. Good reliable service. Easy history mantained via IP address. No logins required.

Cons: A very small file size limit. Application upload not supported.

For images nothing beats imageshack. There are other sites around but no point going there till imageshack is around.
For files, My choice was yousendit. It looks good, is secure and supports large files. And with the hack links don't die also. Definately the best in its class
Enjoy!!

Here is another stuff for YouSendIt.
Some of the link go down while downloading via YouSendIt, anyway here is your chance to resume ur download back with any download managers if you use :
Download Managers

Using Download Managers with YouSendIt Links

You can use most download managers when downloading files from YouSendIt. Unlike direct links you must follow the procedure outlined below carefully to resume file transfers. Pay attention to Step 4 in particular.
Step 1
Click on the YouSendIt download link to open a Browser Window displaying the YouSendIt download page.

Step 2
Right-click on "Click here to download the file now" and choose Copy Shortcut. This copies the direct link to the file stored on the YouSendIt server. Leave your Browser Window open; if the file download automatically starts in your Browser Window you can cancel it.

Step 3
Paste the link in your download manager and start the download; you can now close your Browser Window. If the download is stopped before reaching 100% go to the next step, otherwise let the download complete and enjoy the file.

Step 4
If you need to resume a stopped download, first click on the original YouSendIt download link to re-open the Browser Window.

Step 5
Instruct the download manager to resume the file and then close the Browser Window. You may need to paste the direct link into your download manager again, just make sure that the previously downloaded partial file exists in the same place.

Step 6
Go back to step 4 if required.

This process has been tested with the following download managers and may work with others:

FlashGet
WinGet
WackGet
