Right now, most chefs are using Rapidshare to store their roms. If they want to continue doing so to earn points, that's fine. However, it makes downloading roms extremely difficult for people who are in countries in which Rapidshare restricts access. Rapdishare also uses a very advanced CAPTCHA for non-members that takes 2 or 3 tries (with 120 second delays in between each attemt) to solve. Try logging out of your rapidshare account to see what I'm talking about..

If you'd like to give your downloaders the fastest access possible to your roms, I have put together a list of sites that are superior to existing methods. The sites below had to pass a series of tests:

For uploading:

At least 100mb file limit

No account or sign up needed.

Truly 1-click: Arrive at the site, click upload file, thats it.

For downloading:

No account or sign up needed

No captcha codes

no timers or waiting period

No country or regional restrictions for downloading

truly 1-click: download instantly starts with one click.

http://www.filedropper.com - 5gb (Best site IMO. Most usuable, largest file size limit, tenured... not a "fly by night" file storage service)

http://www.mediafire.com - 100mb

http://www.filesend.net - 120mb

http://www.snapdrive.net - 500mb

http://www.Sendspace.com - 300mb

http://sharedzilla.com - 1GB

http://www.badongo.com - 1GB

CONCLUSION:

Filedropper.com by a mile. However, even though all 7 of these sites are awesome, they are all free which means none of them (even filedropper) are guaranteed to last. If we want to ensure availability for our uploads WE ALL NEED TO BE USING ASAPLOAD.COM for our rom uploads. It provides 1-CLICK UPLOADS TO 8 MAJOR FREE FILE STORAGE SITES AT ONCE, 3 of which are mentioned above! (See next paragraph for Complete list)

*IMPORTANT NOTE FOR UPLOADERS!*When uploading, you can only choose 4 of the 8 available hosting sites. BE SURE THAT YOU CHOOSE BODONGO, SHAREDZILLA, AND SENDSPACE! The fourth mirror is up to you since the rest of them all have annoying timers. Your uploaded file is given a single link, and from that link users can choose which of the 4 download sites they would like to download from. Here is an example link http://asapload.com/110261 (the photo is of my and my gf if you were wondering). The other nice thing is that it gives you the download link as soon as the file transfer begins, so you can post the link as it is uploading.

ASAPLOAD.com uploads to:

Badongo.com (1.00 Gb) awesome

Sendspace.com (300.00 Mb) awesome

Sharedzilla.com (1.00 Gb) awesome

Depositfiles.com (300.00 Mb, 60 sec download delay)

Easy-share.com (100.00 Mb, 20 sec download delay, captcha)

Megaupload.com (100.00 Mb, pain in the butt)

Rapidshare.com (100.00 Mb, pain in the butt)

Zshare.net (100.00 Mb, 60 sec download delay)

Look, even if you don't use ASAPLOAD.COM, just uploading with any one of the sites i mentioned at the top of the post will help everyone else out by sparing them that awful 120 second timer and by giving users in other countries hassle free access.

Honorable Mentions:

http://www.uploadcomet.com - 2,000mb filesize limit but 30 second delay timer before download

http://www.rarhost.com - 250mb limit specifically for hosting rar files, including split archives. Displays contents of archive online. Unlimited split rar files.
