I realise that this request isn't strictly freeware but I am looking
for help about free Web storage.
I help with a Computer Group (no funds) and currently make freeware
available by putting the programmes on the Clubs PC and ask members to
bring a CD in if they wish to download. (Hope this doesn't contravene
distribution rights)
A suggestion has been made that it would be easier if the software was
made available for download off the Internet. Rather than simply give
out the original web site details, (even then some of the freeware is
old and I don't believe the files are currently available on the
Internet) it crossed my mind to put them on a publicly or password
accessed Web storage site.
My research of them so far shows various limitations for the Free
versions.
1 Files are removed after a short time
2 A file size download limit is often applied eg 10mb
3 EXE files are not to be used at some (I envisage WinRar'ing or
ZIPping the larger files
The number of members likely to use this is small so I think
limitations on volume of download will not be an issue - I note some
quote 100mb (or near) for a monthly download limit.
Does anyone know of a service which covers this list?
Research so far leans towards Streamload.com
Anyone with alternative ways to handle this?
