I'm a DropLoad fan!

A few days ago, I saw a post from someone about DropLoad.com, a website that lets you leave files for people, and gives them a 48 hour window to download it. It's done in PHP, but what the heck, it's a great system. I hope they add some reporting features and what not... I'd gladly pay a monthly fee to use it. I'm using it to distribute the source code for Interscape's products when they are purchased. What a killer idea!! Thanks DropLoad!

    What a service.



    When people buy our source code, their login on our website gets access to the download archives for all versions tehy purchased, and we keep this open for a couple of years for them.



    You dont really tell me when I order something with you on a friday, and monday is a holiday - I just skipped my 48 hours to download the source I bought?

  • Well Thona, until our user system is finished, this will suffice. Besides, all of our products are easily accessible for download on the company website, available to the public without logging in. It's only for the SOURCE CODE that we make this available.



    We keep tighter control over our source code, because we make it available so cheap. And our customers can e-mail me at any time for an update. But I'm not going to put our source code on public servers that can be hacked. I'm not that dumb.

  • Robert, keep in mind that the service does not always work. When a download fails after starting, you (Interscape) will still get a "the dropload has been delivered to ..." confirmation email.

  • If they don't get it though, I'm sure they'll contact me.



    Hey Shannon, how's ScrollingGrid working out for you?
