Where people don't have to register with? I tried Rapidshare but my friends don't have an account. They're telling me there is nowhere to download my files, no download button.
Megaupload seems to be on-and-off between available and unavailable. |

Rapidshare does have a download button for free users
It's on the bottomrightish part of the page 'Free Download'
Might have to have javascript turned on in the browser though (most sharing sites use javascript for countdowns etc), so if they use noscript in firefox they'll have to allow the page to use it
You can see the free page youself if you logout of rapidshare, and then try your own links
Some other places include
netload.in
filesonic.com
hotfile.com
fileserve.com
depositfile.com

Do a search with subjects so as
file upload
or
file share
etc
May need to test them upload and download on a non active javascript browser to check if ok or not.
-javascript -java -script -code
etc
Shame they aren't all non javascripted. But guess they are using it to hide activities that they don't want you to know about, collating info etc
Web page softwares designers are the only ones to blame. With no default when set up for allow non javascript active browsers. Nor i hear is it promiment or warned about in their documentation with the software. Try buy or do anything on the web without javascript ! Well i continue never to use it, so a few thousand users may never be able to visit those sites. The web page owner never know, since how many search the web site logs for non javascript browser and what they are not able to see and do, i bet not one do.
The onus is on the web page software to be updated and be made better. Until that is done many will never be able to enjoy te web for what is was intended for. I realise this and will continue witout javascript as have done since using the web daily since 2002 or so (a late starter).

Most generally use it for the countdown timer and the nearly universal captcha's.
It's javascript though, so you can read the code if you like and see what it's doing
Tracking systems don't particularly need javascript, it's easy enough without it
Privacy and security make you balance between allowing everything or wearing a tin-foil hat

Depending on your connection and tech-savviness you could consider using private torrents.

No i have seen and read what non javascripted can do vs javascript coded pages. Reality is what you think isn't only the ability of javascript its also possible without. I don't know how hackable either are to unwanted intruders, though is possible using either. Still the ability of the web page developer to code better in their software so able to produce for non javascript and javascript web pages. |

Agree but the many prefer to quickly upload and share and share. Easy to do by torrent but they don't realise they could do so without downloading a torrent file from a site. That they could send each other a torrent file they have made for the file and share privately the file between them.
Use a torrent client to make a new torrent of the file needed to be shared.
Email the torrent file to who they want to share the torrent with. They then add torrent to their torrent client and download the file. |

Thanks dloneranger for the sites. I agree with -vdub- about JS and scripting when it comes to the web. It would also be neat if there were two versions of a site. One just a simple version and the other with the bloat.
My view is that a lot of the "candy" and features for the web and OS's are for a majority of the times an egging-on for you to buy the latest and greatest computer just for those features. I think some developers are losing sight on productivity more-and-more and programs are dependent on this/that, web sites get broken easily. Maybe the net is reaching it's limit?
I like the torrent idea and tried that once but not a lot of people wanted to install a torrent program or they didn't know how to work with one and didn't like the idea with having a torrent program running for hours to host files. I would keep one running, no problem.
I have a web server but it is slow and it isn't on a dedicated machine and is going through my "choke" Verizon connection. Unless the person lives sort of close to me, 80Kbps is the max as long as it's only one person downloading off from me. Otherwise it's 40Kbps. Each person arriving at the server cuts that value by half.

There are a few other options.
Have you looked at programs like Wuala, or Dropbox?
They're a little limited on file storage space, but quite handy for backup or sharing with friends
(If your pc's online a lot, Wuala's storage limit can be quite large)
The biggest advantage with things like rapidshare, is the upload once , download many-and-fairly-fast
Wuala and Dropbox kind of give you the same advantages
-
I do agree that javascript isn't absolutely necessary on these sites
But on the other hand, unless most people turn off javascript, then there's not a large incentive for them to do javascript free versions
I used to love the text only version of the bbc's news page - not it's all flash clips and 'rich' experiences - so annoying, when all I want to do is read the headlines, then any news items that are interesting. But it's cheaper to just put up the vid clip and not have a journalist actually write up the story
What are you gonna do though, - adblock, noscript and then just enable the sites that you actually need/want to

Video in web pages such as the you tube ones. At one time always needed javascript to view them. Now i can anyone can view them without active javascript or even flash installed.
One exapmple of many are the online shopping stores. Stores that have the same name of the ones where you do your grocery shopping. These now cater for both javascript and non javascript active browsers to interact fully with their sites. They didn't do this for the sake of doing it. These stores all had high number of complaints asking for non javascript access so they could also do online home shopping.
Further Off Topic.
Does you limited bandwidth seem to run out quickly each month ? (money grabbing basta*d isps)
Look out for ytimg.com on your browser info tool bar, when visiting web site pages.
Sites with youtube videos embedded into their web pages. Where a web page seems to stall. Which is forever loading from ytimg.com stopping the rest of the page loading. Even if you are not watching any embedded video at that time. |

For less than ten buck a month I get my own server with unlimited bandwidth and storage.
I know this is not free but how can you complain about the cost lol?

Try this one:
http://www.ifile.it/
Registration is optional but they're rather unique in that registration is always free (there isn't even a premium option!  ), and "free registered" users actually get direct links to share with other users from their dashboard.
RS, MU, Hotfile et. al. make you buy a premium account for that. Although MU has since started offering a "lifetime account" for a onetime fee if you don't like subscriptions.
Mediafire (http://www.mediafire.com/) lets even free registered users keep their files for an unlimited amount of time (each file uploaded is limited to a max of 200 MB). Dropbox is nice too in that I believe the storage is a mounted folder on your computer that connects to their network rather than being exclusively "in the cloud." I've also heard about this site Barracuda Drive (http://barracudadrive.net), very similar to Dropbox and Apple's iDisk (the latter I'm quoting from their site).
There's also ADrive (http://www.adrive.com/), Windows Live SkyDrive (part of the Windows Live Account -- https://login.live.com/), and for Linux users, Ubuntu One (https://one.ubuntu.com/). Also of interest is the GMail Drive extension (http://www.viksoe.dk/code/gmail.htm -- Windows only), which lets you turn your GMail account into a network/cloud hard drive. Not sure if it works anymore since Google upgraded the interface, but worth a try nonetheless.  |

Used Classic for no javascript, then gives this message
status: error
message: uploads are currently disabled to this server [e8]
flyby-night outfit or another that doesn't care for any users except those that join. And to be honest who wants to join a site just to upload a file !
Barracuda drive not a good name to call a file share site where data is stored and served from. Given the seagate Barracuda drives history of problems and malfunctions (more so the seven series). |
