tomturd Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 TF has bought up some potentially dodgy, unreliable hosting, but we'll give it our best shot. For this reason before we start make sure you have a backup of any files that you upload!You will have pretty much unlimited space, and there is no limit on file size. The only limits are that this hosting is for Trials videos (or trials like - eg bmx) - that means no hosting web sites, html files, images, files for your mates ...porn etc. If you do upload these files, your account and files will be deleted without notice as soon as they're found (which won't take long as they will stick out like a sore thumb). You will not recieve another account. The reason for this is that we are limited on CPU time on the server, and hosting unneccesary files will take up precious CPU time which could be used serving videos.Getting an AccountTo host files you will need your own FTP account, to get one email hosting@trials-forum.co.uk with the following details.Subject: Hosting request for [TF username]Text: User: [TF Username]Pass: Desired Password (no dictionary words)Thats it. I'll email you back with the login details when your account has been set up.Logging InYou will be able to log into the server using the following FTP detailsServer: ftp.tupload.netUsername: [tf][TF Username] (eg tftomturd)Password: The one you asked forUploading FilesOnce logged in, upload the video(s) to [tf][TF Username].tupload.net directory. (eg tftomturd.tupload.net)Linking to FilesOnce the file is uploaded you will be able to link it using http://[tf][TF Username].tupload.net/VideoName.wmv (eg http://tftomturd.tupload.net/VideoName.mpg)You must link directly to the file. If you link to your subdomain only, without specifying the file name you will get redirected back to TF. The same will happen if you link to a file which does not exist, or a file which is not a movie file.THE SUBDOMAIN MAY TAKE UP TO 24 HOURS TO START WORKING! (but you can still upload files ready for when it does)I'll tidy this up and add a FAQ as the questions start coming in.How to get your account deleted1. Upload files which arent trials-forum videos2. Mess with/Delete the .htaccess (if you can see it) file within your directory.THIS IS IN TESTING DONT GET TOO EXCITED!

tomturd Posted January 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Out of interest is everyone finding the 'tupload.net' hosting fast enough? any problems? currently got the leeds ride vid on it and marks bail.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I was getting around 50KB/s-80KB/s on it. I usually get around 150-200KB/s on Tv.isg.si but it doesn't really matter, I guess. My PC is on pretty much all the time so I just leave them to download. Might be a problem for other people though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
