Hi Guys,
For some time now I have been thinking about this new project and was wondering if anyone is interested and if you lot would contribute to this project if I was to start it, one of my ideas is a “Community Supported Filehost”.

But how do I define “Community Supported Filehost” and how would it help the community as a whole ?

Well
1. No Accounts would be suspended (today hotfile suspended allot.... loads of files, money and accounts where lost etc)
2. Files wouldn’t be able to be taken down because the storage servers would be comminuty donated and not run by the “proxy” (the proxy is the upload main website on the main server)
3. It would be community supported.
4. Files would always be there no matter when the downloader wanted it, (we all hate those anoying takedown messages on links!!)

All traffic and files would transfer through the proxy/main site and be stored on user donated servers/computers, the result would be anonymous protected file host, the main problem with normal file hosts is they store the files on their servers but with this random people would store random files and donate random file space, file names would also be automatically renamed in the ideal systems so the anonymous people who donated space would technically not know what the files where…


Let me know you feedback on this project… The main downside as I see it is for the people who upload for money is their would not be able payments, there would only be a system similar to rapidshares rapidpoints but for downloads their would always be the file they wanted, even if they tried a few months down the line, the accounts would be dirt cheap and any money generated would go back into the project.
