Dev(B)log

After a few hours of downtime, the complete server was reinstalled. During the procedure your files were encrypted and traveled over 13800 Kilometers (8600 Miles!) across Atlantic ocean all the way to Europe and back to USA. With a fresh environment we are able to continue developing new, FileBuffer4, with all of it’s features!

What does this mean to you?
Well already now you’ll be able to experience:
- faster downloads
- a more responsive and secure interface

… And naturally FileBuffer Exchange (FileBuffer4) after the development is complete.

Keep tuned!

Attention users and downloaders:

How do you feel about adding the “Digg” button to the download page, as well as listing 5 top referring sites that link to the file?
Do you believe this would violate your privacy, considering that the data would be visible only on the specific download page: to the users you gave the download link to?
Would you like to be able to add your own custom comments and links instead?

We need your feedback on this, thank you!

Shared folders are a very useful feature for publishing a large number of files. They enable you to easily offer multiple files for download, accompanied by a custom comment: the folder’s name.

In this tutorial you’ll learn how to create and fill shared folders. Read the rest of this entry »

Dear users,
Previously announced downtime has been rescheduled to Feb. 12th - Feb. 15th.

The complete service unavailability should not exceed 18 hours, thank your for understanding.

“Server will undergo a complete re-install, along with some tweaks necessary for the new software I’m developing, however all of the uploaded files will be left intact thanks to my dear colleague Filip Penezic and some clever cross-server-cross-network backing up (any user-set time limits will keep running though, and no worries about security because, as you know, files uploaded to FileBuffer are encrypted).

I’ll also have to tweak the DNS server so some of you might experience problems accessing the server after the downtime , depending on how frequently your ISPs refresh their domain lists, nothing to worry about, should any problems appear they’ll be resolved swiftly.”

FileBuffer will be down from Feb 7th to Feb 9th due to some scheduled maintenance.
