				  Hosting big mods  
					
						So, now that my mod is completely unavailable... anybody have suggestions on how I might host a large mod? Mine is getting over 8MB as a zip file now. Trying to upload it to the forums just has the "upload in progress" thing just sit there forever. Going to the Mod DB results in it not getting uploaded when I try. I've noticed some other mods being hosted on various websites. Which ones are good and easy to use?

  Maximum is like 1024 MB.  So don't make your mod TOO big there sonny! You mean I can use that for something besides porn? Haha. Actually, they have a branch site for that sort of subject matter... A website I recall seeming easy to work with (at least when downloading) is mediafire. I'm giving that a shot.

						http://www.drop.ioThis is a nice one, 100 MB limit though. You get way more options from it too. http://megashares.com/Pretty nice 10 GB limit.

						I've been using filefront.com for the BMCP (9-14MB) - good speeds, no timers/limit.

						http://www.mediafire.com is  a pretty good one. http://www.drop.io is a great hosting site. And if you can be assed to make an account, Filefront will be your best bet.

						Filefront's pretty good, Drop.Io is great because it's so easy to work with, and megaupload is the most awful site ever. it's just hardwork. the first time I used it it took me 5 minutes to find the freaking download button.

						megaupload sucks balls In fact anything that only allows 1 download at a time sucks.  but megaupload sucks more balls than any of those because it sucks ass too.
  don't use megaupload
  as a downloader I'd like filefront or some of those smaller ones, drop.io and mediafire are pleasant to work with.
