How to make your Uploads last ...
It is no secret that the major file upload providers are notorious for deleting or blocking your files.
This is a huge waste of your time spent re-uploading files. But there are ways to either
stop or slow down the process of files getting deleted.

Here are some tips to make your uploads last longer:

1. Never never never name a file exactly the same as its contents.

Example:
BAD - Windows_Seven_Professional.rar

Good- wsp.rar

2. Always password protect your files.
This disallows the the file storage
company from seeing what you have uploaded.
If possible give each different upload you do a different password.

Example File 1: B_L_v2.rar File Password: a@4%_d1FR

Example File 2: sep_v12-3.rar File Password: q&1W3c_p


3. Use a compression program,
like WinRAR, that has the ability to encrypt your archives contents.
Even if you password protect your archive, if the contents are not encrypted you can still open the archive
and see the file names.





4. Finally, make it really confusing for the file upload company. Rename your file to something other than .RAR, .ZIP or .7z.

Example: Rename sep_v7-2.rar to sep_v7-2.jpg

Just make sure you notate that the file names have been changed so that other members
won't have problems extracting the files.

Example:
Code:

Before extracting rename files from .psd to .rar


These simple tips should help prolong the life of your uploads and make your lives much easier.
