Hi,

I have put this Question to some Social Internet Community, but still waiting answer.

Can I process number 2 method below (?) :
(1) download file from rapidshare (just example) into my harddisk and then upload that file from my hd into 4shared (just example).
(2) ask/download file from rapidshare (just example) directly save/upload file into 4shared (just example) without downloading/saving it first into my harddisk.

If it is "can", then how to do it?
This will able to make me to have Virtual harddisk.

Thanks for direction/teaching.

I do kinda the same thing. Any file I download, I have saved to a different location. In FireFox go to "tools" --> "options" --> "main" tab.... then about the middle of the page there is a place to specify where to save the file. or you can brows to the location.

In IEx I have no idea where that option is... I couldn't find it anywhere...

I'd be willing(Just example)to give you a thumb for figuring out(just example) what the &*&@ he was asking(just example).

Why did you include Option #1 if you don't need it?

I haven't seen, or indeed felt the need, for a RAMdisk since the days of the Commodore Amiga 4000. Back then, the RAMdisk was a Godsend due to the slower speed that data was written to SCSI hard drives. These days, with SATAII drives, the data transfer rate is so fast you hardly need the convoluted systems of a RAMdisk.

That said, it appears RAMdisks ARE still available:

Although whether these options will be of any benefit I can't say. I've never used them. ;)

OK,THX 4 reply.

I write Option #1 ; so in friends can figure out that I dont want to download into Harddisk (or storage at my computer)

OK, my server = is at web hosting or file hosting ; not at my room.

My question is re-describe like this:
1) A file from WEB dont have to go into our computer first but saved directly into our server.
2) It is a file that I intend to be saved in server ; NOT a URL Link
3) the purpose maybe: I+My community can have only one place to visit when looking/downloading file ; as I have stored files from many file hosting into our server
4) IF WE CAN ASK A FILE from WEB and directly save the FILE into SERVER; it will not waste our time.
5) We are living in country that internet ISP's price is high

Briefly:
option #1 FILE HOSTING--->STORAGE MY COMPUTER--->ANOTHER HOSTING
option #2 FILE HOSTING--->ANOTHER HOSTING

Please share the knowlegde if It is possible.
Thank you

Consider your example above:

"option #1 FILE HOSTING--->STORAGE MY COMPUTER--->ANOTHER HOSTING
option #2 FILE HOSTING--->ANOTHER HOSTING"

There is a third option:

option #3 FILE HOSTING.

If as you say, "[i]internet ISP's price is high[/i]" then why on earth are you creating internet costs for yourself by shifting the location of files that someone else has already paid to upload???

If economising is SO important to you, why not just host a descriptive element on your website complete with URL links to all the already existing online files?

I am slightly confused to find someone telling me that they live in a country with critically high ISP charges, yet you appear to have sufficient money to run a server on web-hosting.

I'm afraid if you cannot afford to do what the owners of the existing websites have already done (for your benefit) perhaps web-hosting is not the route you should be following.

Why can your community not just visit the websites that you have already identified?

That way you would surely save money on needless web-hosting.

All right, friend.

1) Some free hosting have a restricted rule, such as Rapidshare, Megaupload, etc, without Premium Account, the download process must continue as if the connection broke, we (here) must re-download from start, and cannot download 2 files parallelly

2) So; some Good books/file/etc that stored at such hosting (rapidshare,megaupload) become not simple to download

3) Let say, we are at a disaster area, with low bandwith or with unstable wireless internet

4) Let say we dont have money (budget) if all of us waiting the countdown at those (rapidshare,megaupload,etc)

5) Let say we dont have a stable Electricity so our dial up often disconnected in the middle of download

6) Talking about MONEY to have a server, there is free hosting like 000webhost i remember

7) Beside the challenge of EFFECTIVETY in time and money issue, I as newbie spot this QUESTION to increase my knowledge in program

8)So when we want to make a library for our community, we and the new comer only need to visit One Hosting and DO ONE PROCEDURE ONLY. And We will make it "a resume broken" ability.


9) So; let say you dis-agree with my Question and Purpose; I still back to my question Can I do the option#2
(FILE HOSTING---->ANOTHER HOSTING)

10) I am at Danau Toba (Toba LAke) North Sumatera -->you may google it; my place is a beatiful virgin Island.

so, i will waiting friend's information, or
if it is impossible then we can closed this question.

tq

You can perhaps understand my surprise at this statement, when you have listed your location as Afghanistan! ;)

As to your intended use of two separate file-sharing sites, I don't see any way that this will be possible. For a start the download speed from the source site will probably be too fast for the upload speed of the target site.

Broadband by its very nature, is split into 256 'channels': they are scanned by a broadband modem and the best 128 are allocated for download, the next best 64 are allocated for upload, of the remaining 64 - some are allocated for voice transmission.

Consequently, even if everything else was equal, downloads have access to twice as many 'channels' as uploads. The data transfer between one site downloading and the other site immediately uploading the same data is simply not possible.

There has to be a buffer in between the two sites, and that buffer is your hard drive. ;)

I'm rather surprised that with limited bandwidth, and more importantly with unstable internet connections, that you are even considering using sites such as Rapidshare or MegaUpload. They are not renowned for favourable data transfer at the best of times.

Without knowing what data it is that you are seeking, I can only guess that you might have better success using a Torrent Client such as BitTorrent. It is free to install, free to use, and if your download gets interrupted - you can simply carry on from where you left off. If the data you are looking for is available as a torrent, you may even find that you would download it quicker than by using a file-sharing site that might involve continual restarts from the beginning.

Peermail me if you wish further information. :)

THANK YOU OLD MYCROFT

Well, I think I satisfy about your answer.
So, we have to have interface between those hosting. Or I can learn/use leech/torrent, might be.

(( is there THANKS logo in this forum for you ))

About my profile; I got lazy to fill when I subscribe, so first country is Afganistan and I didn't choose further choice.

Yes I am in Indonesia.
Aceh is 20 km from my TOBA LAKE.
Aceh hit by Tsunami few years ago.

Thank you once again

Hi all,

After googling in 3 days, I read about RapidLeech script by Vyrus Russian. (upps, it was 2 years ago,,,2006,,already there)

I am trying to read further.

But I think this is the answer to my question.
