I wanted to share one of the programs I got finished with the forum, for feedback and such, but the installer is enormous (due to all the graphics in it) and I would rather not add it to the forum's current bandwidth use.

Anyone have suggestions on free webspace for sharing software?  I'd rather not put it onto sites that only offer a link with a ton of ads.

Google Drive or Dropbox?

That is a laudable attitude :t

But go ahead, if it's within the 512k you are allowed to attach, nobody will complain :biggrin:

I have both, but the issues with that is, there is too many complains about the downloads failing.  I've seen and had too many experiences with fails in both, those are equally not a grand idea.  There just doesn't seem to be a free webspace for programmers to share stuff aside from SourceForge.

Definitely enormous according to that 512k!  It's 1400k larger.

I would have loved to find a better format for the "skin" setup, since I had to use BMP (gah, I know), to avoid any sort of issues with colors going off in compression, plus I wanted uncompressed and adding support for JPEG or some other format, meant more file testing to ensure the "skin" (I call it that but it's not really) doesn't cause the software to crash due to malformed files.

Might go for a file splitter and do it in bits and pieces. I think even 7zip might have an option to split files.

Checked,and 7zip does allow file splitting.

Then that means someone has to either have 7zip or go through the process of installing it.  Makes people want to avoid stuff like that, and I'd rather make it so people aren't put out with having to try something.

Why I was hoping for space somewhere that actually I could put in some instructions on.
