Do you want to share videos or photos with your friend? One option is send all your files via email. The result is clogged inboxes and a good likelihood that emails may bounce or land in spam.
Or you can use a file sharing service.
We’ve all heard of ZIP files and I’m sure many of you have heard of RAR files as well. Here is where rarhost steps in.
rarhost is a unique new file hosting site, only for winrar .rar archives. It offers much more than just basic file hosting; the system has advanced information about each rar file. For example you can see what the archive contains before you download, ensuring it contains the files you want.
Features:
For the uploader:
- host unlimited .rar files online and share with friends.
- 150mb size limit per .rar, split archives allowed with no upload limit.
For the downloader:
- view the contents of the archive before you download, ensuring it contains the files you want.
- advanced password support, no more downloading a .rar just to find out you need a password!
For members:
- file management system; keep track of your uploads, edit, delete etc.
- check how many downloads your .rar has been downloaded.
- files will only be removed if they have not been downloaded in 2 months, opposed to 30 days.
I’m still not sure about their revenue model yet, but they have been operating since August 2006, so they must be doing something right 🙂
And the best part is that you don’t need WinRAR which is a paid software. You can get hold of a free compression software like 7-zip.
