Well.

I'm currently working at fixing the remaining issues with Alpha 5 beofre releasing a Beta 1. Which at that point, I plan to look for drivers and modules to help with netbook support.

But currently I'm looking for where i can host this pup.

As i do have an Account at FusedTree, which i could try to figure out how i could manage a mirror there.

And i do have an account with Eric at puppylinux.asia, but as he told me, it's an account which does not have a huge amount of storage. And if people need an unleashed tree, this could become a HUGE hassle on their part, and on my part.

And i don't have the cash to pay for a hosting site. I have barely enough to buy my lunches.

So if anyone can point me to the direction of a good, free file host for Puppy 3.02CE, than you would be a partial life-saver for this project (not literally, but you would be doing us a huge favor)

Any help would be appreciated. And i might use multiple to make different mirrors for Puppy 3.02, which i could check on, and use my fusedtree as a place to check on different mirrors, and i could tell beside them how good a condition they are in.

Sure, I can mirror it, when I get a downloadlink.

Thanks MU and PKAG,

The .asia account just barely made it through last months bandwidth so I appreciate the help to spread out the files.

The .ca servers are still being run under testing mode to check uptime etc.

@J-Bob,
Your iso and pets to support the iso are fine. Unleashed tree is too big for a small account.

I have that covered already, actually. I have unlimited disk space on a friends dedicated server.

I am not exactly sure what criteria anyone needs in their ideas of "hosting" but here is a free site for a repository if you are so inclined to sign up for free:

http://www.4shared.com/login.jsp?sessionUnavailable=1

I think it will allow 5 G of storage,for free and the only thing the user must do is create traffic on it at least every 30 days.,Otherwise it will go inactive and be sent to the bit bucket.If it would suit your needs,fine business,if not,nothing lost. cheers

@Evil20071
Thanks for the info. That type server would fit as a primary. And MU's Server + Caneri's servers could be the secondaries.

@bill
Sounds like an idea that might work, if it allows direct donwloads i could build a script that would run in the background checking time, and it would download it after a specific amount of time, to keep it up as a backup, this would be the same thing for other serves like that.

And in current news, I'm getting back to working at 3.02ce, and i have found some critical bugs, but i think i might know how to fix them.

When i fix them i imagine that the system should be ready to enter beta.

I just spoke with the guy with the server. He said as long as our downloads don't kill all his bandwidth (Which he sells to a few clients) then all's fine. I think he's got 4tb bandwidth allocated for his site right now, and they will (or are suppose) to allocate more to him as needed.

Evil20071's Friend's Server
puppylinux.asia
puppyisos.org
pkagfiles.net

than i might add some backup servers eventually.
