Also, how are you gonna protect yourself against people uploading copyrighted contents?
Hopefully this will be a small problem. It's not a file sharing service, files are deleted automatically after 7 days, and if we get specific complaints we will delete them immediately.

What do you mean by "It's not a file sharing service"? Isn't this a service for sharing files?

I think he means that the link to the file is not intended to be public but restricted to your contacts only. People might use it as a sharing platform if they want to tho, I don't see what could prevent them to do so and that's why I asked the question in the first place. I'm sure that A sending a pirated file to B won't have a huge legal impact. But if A put this link on a forum and 5000 B's are accessing it... I t…
Here are some observations & Questions :
1. Looks like you decide the number of chunks the file is divided into before you start uploading. How do you decide this ? (ie) the algorithm used ..is the chunk size a function of network's bandwidth & throughput . Or is it a standard chunk size ?
flowChunkNumber:6 flowChunkSize:512000 2. How do you generate the random file name ? I suppose this is one the standard algorithms. Curious
3.I suppose you are using statcounter & google analytics. What are some of the parameters you are looking at your end? (like #of files uploaded etc., )
4. Even if I change the name of the file (or) move the file to another location when the upload is inflight ; it still sucessfully continues to upload the originally intended file.Are you precaching this somewhere ? Is there a copy stored in the temp folder ?
5. What are you using to compress the files before they start upload ?

Great idea, and it's pretty easy to do, X downloads max per file or X number of ips per file etc. This is really aimed at private 1-1 sharing.
Shameless plug: I've created a library[0] that is similar in scope, but uploads to Amazon S3. If you find dropjar interesting you might want to check out this too. [0] http://mule-uploader.com/

1. Right now just chose something that made sense, need to test more 2. just randomly choose 7 chars a..zA..Z0..9 3. yes using both. right now still not looking into metrics 4. not sure, i'm using flowjs which is a library that supports this need to test further 5. I don't think files are compressed before upload.
