Check out rapidshare etc, people can easily upload viruses to them :P

What I don't get though, is how is someone going to connect Earthbird, to uploading?

Rapidshare
Megaupload
EasyShare
TinyPic
PhotoBucket

Earthbird.

I just don't see a connection :P

Nothing, big sites such as Rapidshare and Megaupload get virus's uploaded to them all the time, but we're thinking of a reliable solution to this problem.

I do see what you mean, but think about sites like these...

Google - Search engine, but if someone didn't know what it was, then they would have no idea.
Spotify - Music player, but the name doesn't exactly give any hints.

There is a connection, it's just not very obvious. ;)

Theres a kid at my school making the exact same thing, Weird if you ask me. Look good though!

I wish you the best of luck, as you will need it. An uploader is harder than you may think, due to the facvt you need to code security for files, etc. If that makes sense to you.

I wouldnt expect much security on a _sharing_ website for files as the main reason to upload is to share isnt it?!

I've made a fully functional uploader in the past, so I already know how to make them, so it's not harder than I think. :P

But yeah, thanks buddy! :)

You learn things everyday, like I had an attack on TehUpload the other day, that I never would have thought would happen. There's more security to it then you think.

md5 hash every file to check if you get duplicates

Well yeah, there will obviously be new flaws all the time, I just meant about making a basic uploader.

It'll check the size, name, dimensions (if it's for images) and frame rates etc. for duplicates. ;)
