Localhostr invites for Neowin users

[Kudos Veteran]

I'm sure most of you won't care about this, but for those who still do, I have a bunch of invites going for localhostr accounts since it's relaunch earlier this month. It was a complete rewrite which began in October, so things are still a little bit rough, but everything is pretty stable.

Feedback in this thread is welcome.

[Lee G. Veteran]

Thanks. I've just signed up too. I've wanted a Localhostr account.

[alisalem]

I always wanted one, but never knew how. Thanks. :)

[intrinity1]

Been wanting one of these accounts for ages. Thanks!

[Mamoun]

Thank you very much! I was also hoping I could register oneday. :)

EDIT: Just wanted to report that there is no way to click any links such as settings or files after logging in using IE8 as clicking anywhere will show the "choose file to upload" dialog.

What are the benefits of having an account vs. not having one (besides the not erasing the files) ?

What's the max file size?

bandwidth restrictions per file?

etc.?

And why on earth is there an amount of 1gb TOPS? ( I know i'm being anal, but there are several other services that give 5gb+ or even "unlimited").

Signed up :p

Having an account is exactly as useful as you'd imagine. You can list and manage your uploaded files.

Max file size is still 50MB. I'm looking at upping this for registered users as it is easier to monitor and prevent abuse. The backend already supports up to 1GB right now, and if there's enough of a demand, I may make this a priority. The vast majority of files are < 10MB.

There is currently no automated bandwidth restriction per file.

What kind of question is etc? lol.

1GB is your free allocation, premium accounts are planned post-beta. Please point me at a free service offering unlimited storage ;)

The 25 invites on that code were already used, I've jacked that code up to 50 invites.

Ok I may have exaggerated on teh unlimited, still I think 1Gb is too little :p known names like megaupload offer 200gb

have a looksie

[kinghat]

thanks for the post in my thread.. is there going to be some type of gallery maybe for just images?

[Kudos Veteran]

Yes, a gallery is high priority and in progress, still working on the look of it.

[John S. Veteran]

Thanks man!

[c3ntury]

I did a bit of testing for Ahmadinejad a few weeks ago and it's a cracking website which I highly recommend :)

ok cool thanks.. im sure you know this already but the uploader isnt uploading the pics to my account.. would also be cool to make it a desktop gadget or allow it to start with win and minimize to the tray..

thanks again

[Kudos Veteran]

Have you provided the application with your credentials? If you have, PM me the link to a file which should be attached to your account and I'll investigate further.
