Nice script thankis for sharing it.. A while ago the rapidshare source code was leaked, as some of you know rapidshare has the best uploading service on the world, however this leak was illegal so using that script is illegal as well.. This is a nice alternative if you want your visitors to upload files to your website..

Nice script, but when using it it is best that you restrict those content or access to the uploads to certain ppl, since it might cause ppl to upload illegal or legitimate stuff and also have to take note of the number of downloads... And 2 MB limit is way too low, you cannot host much files there since lots of them exceed 2 MB and a normal good quality photo already takes up more than 2 MB of space... I might use this script if I could control all those factors, but its not kind of easy to maintain that...

Hype, 2 MB is well enough, i am going, as well as my website visitors, be uploading flash clocks, mainly, but also flash components, flash intros, flah games and flash animations, and so, 2 MB is more then enough, every flash clock in the "world" has a max file size of 1.5 MB, some rare ones achieve almost 2MB, so you see, in my case, it is enough 100%.

Flash intros and all the other flash stuff, including flash games, are also files, usually, less then 2MB, just a few ones have more MB's, but people will know that they can only upload and share free flash stuff which its max file size is 2 MB, so they can not bypass that limit, and they will respect it, even so, they can not do a thing about it.

Concerning what you said about configuring those things, they are all configurable, and in a very easy way, this script was well built, to be exact to you, you just have to configure one file concerning the script features and admin features/functions/limts/et cetera, the file name is "config.php", even a child can understand it and set it easy and quickly, you can and should beleave in me.

Concerning the configuration of the ads, there are 3 files which, if you want (and also if you have a google adsense account as an advertizer or a publisher) you can just add your google adsense id code or anyother ads you work with, doesn't matter really, it is so easy...!

Now, this is my case, yours should be different, just think a litle on how you will work wqith this script, either way, it is very easy.

Finally, the thing i like the most in this script is that you have authorization to change everything in it, there is just one thing you can not change, and that is the footer's copyright notice of the author and also the link to the author's website, besides that, you can configure the text, graphics, logo in the top/left, all of it!

Yes, Florisjuh, i heard that, rapidshare manager was furious, i supose, i would!

Anyway, rapidshare.de has changed a lot now, the new uploads are now made in rapidshare.com , it is their new domain, and they do not have time or download limits, just upload limits, and the speed is now the greatest, at least, comparing to the latest month, which i had to contact their manager because i was downloading files at 50 to 100 KBytes per second, they were having very big problems concerning the huge amount of downloaders, so they had to expand their service a lot, as you can also see in their new site:

http://rapidshare.com


But this script is far more simple, effective, efficient, easy to setup, easy to use, easy to custom the esign, easy to add add-in's, easy to incorporate into your website, and if i may say so, a very good and original idea, i still have problems understanding why they are giving this script for free, with almost no limits, they are just asking not to take out the bottom link and authors notice, so i guess they are pretty generous, don't you think?!

This is a really interesting script. I'm sure it will be useful to many people. However, I know I'm not using this on my site. People could "ren" their files into txt extensions and it was really an executable files. What if files were half a gigabyte big?

This wouldn't be really good, unless you have a restriction or something.

That is configurable in a very easy, firefoxrocks, you just need to configure one file (config.php) for that, and it is very easy to set it up, i know.

No one can upload a GB if you configure a max filez size of 5 MB for uploads, that is also configurable in the script.

Even if somebody uploaded a virus in a file with a different file extension, the virus would not be executed, it needs its own file extension to be able to be executed, and this script allows you to configure that too, you can configure which file types are allowed to be uploaded.

This is very intresting. I'm working on a website for game development, so I could use this to allow people to upload their ideas.

I'll have to set a limit, though. My current host for the webby only has up to 200mb space, so the limit will have to be rather low. I'll probably set it 100kb/file, as the files people have given me have been so small anyway. As for bandwidth, I'll come up with a way to figure out the maximum sometime later...

To tell you all the absolute truth, you aren't allowed to use this stuff at the Trap, since it would be considered as if you were sharing your hosting, which is against the rules. This, however, a nice concept, and could be put to somehwat good use.

It's not allowed?
Well, i don't even use that...
but nice link and thanks for sharing that to us alll!
