Free hosting for netlabels

[Basilisk]

Browsing through the promotional media section on Isratrance I often run across netlabels hosting their releases with Rapidshare and other web-based file-sharing services. 95% of the time I don't bother downloading--it isn't worth the hassle of CAPTCHAs (those little fields where you enter stupid codes) or time limits or pop-up ads or any of the other garbage that comes along with these sites. I'm betting that a lot of other people feel the same.

 

I've been offering free hosting with Ektoplazm to a lot of different netlabels for a while now but I don't have an unlimited capacity. In fact, I am pretty close to my monthly bandwidth limit and have no choice but to be very choosy with what I host.

 

Not so for the Internet Archive! They offer free hosting with unlimited space and bandwidth to any netlabel. Visit them here:

Some psytrance netlabels have taken advantage of their services but many seem unaware. I'm posting this to highlight that you can have your free release hosted in lossless quality for absolutely nothing. Well, not quite--it takes a bit of work, and the site can be somewhat confusing. If you would like some help getting started I have just published a guide on the subject. Read it here:

Just say no to Rapidshare

Rapid isn't much of a problem if you use Jdownloader (+ you can arrange your downloads and organize everything). And archive.org can sometimes be overloaded with traffic. But yeah, it's still nice to have a site host netlabel stuff for free.

Rapidshare and it's cousins sucks yes. Time to get more bandwidth then Basilisk

Internet archive is great, fastest downloads anywhere.

 

Lots of times I won't bother if the download speed is snail pased.
