It's not just for reddit and digg, but everybody.

Couple of suggestions:

1. HTTP/DAV access. 2. I wasn't able to get direct URL link, other than by digging into the HTML. Not user-friendly. 3. Changing permissions did no affect file visibility - I can still see it from outside of my account. 4. List of files should have permissions listed, right now I have to click a button to see permissions.

Good luck.

If my math is right, these guys need somewhere on the order of a hojillion gigs of space if they want to give away an account or three to every digg, reddit, and news.yc reader.

The site seems to be struggling--some images take forever to load and some of its functions don't work. Maybe they got flooded by inviting all the social news people.

That's the dirty little secret of a lot of web storage and hosting sites. They can sell you gigs upon gigs of storage because in all likelihood, you'll never use all of it, or by the time you do, storage will have come down in price.

Sure there are some users who will max out their accounts, but those will be averaged by those who hardly use any.

I agree. It's taking its time with me, and I haven't tried uploading or downloading anything yet. At least my account says "paid until Jan. 2038"

I'm gonna try compressing and uploading my pictures (just <2GB) then downloading them to test out their transfer speeds. There's a 5GB filesize limit which is nice. If it's fast enough it will probably replace Gmail drafts as my filetransfer of choice. I'll post with the results when done.

Upload utility seems to break Firefox 3 Beta 5 with Ubuntu 8.04.

Firefox 3 Beta 5 (which is great) worked for my upload on XP. The only issue was that the cursor mouseover on the upload button didn't change from an arrow to a hand -- not sure if that's a bug or a feature.
