Hi everybody!
I've been developing in localhost a really thin and small app built for file uploading, much like imageshack, though with some characteristics thought specifically not to waste too soon too much bandwidth and processor resources:
1) Every single file gets killed after 24 hours of being uploaded
2) Every single file gets inmediately killed if is reported as violating copyright.
3) No file 2mb+ gets into the system
4) Thanks to a small CGI I wrote the system allows only .pdf, .png, .gif, .jpg, .swf and .zip. This way, if you rename asdasd.exe to asdasd.gif and upload it, the system forbids you by setting a cookie AND banning your IP.
5) Every file gets gzipped and gunzipped on the fly
Then, given that I provide a tool to avoid copyright infringing and that I do any single possible check to prevent exploitation, can I upload it and promote it around? It's just for the alpha and beta stage, I'll probably move it to another hosting when it gets to be released to the public.
