Software - Help yourself

J0K3R5 · 08-05-2021, 06:10 AM

Need your help/input, if I do all this sharing again.

In the stats from mega, I could see how many shared subs and what country there was of my account.
A large amount were business accounts, I tracked a few of them down and they were selling the software.
That I was sharing for FREE.

So need some ground rules to be put in place, for example,

a temp link will be supplied
no 10 posts or under, user gets nothing

That is sad they started to sell it. But I am not surprised. Plenty of people out there selling HDD, SSD and Laptop preloaded with ISTA.

Great idea.
Hopefully also keeps the link away from greedy BMW too.
Such a shame they don't support the diy/hobbyist enthusiasts who bring so much love and attention to their brand.

Anyone have any other ideas that can keep the links safe?
10 posts are pretty easy & quick to fudge...

Unfortunately you will never get rid of those scumbags completely.
I don't think restricting access will make it harder for them, in fact they will get more customers since it will all be harder to find for free.
It might get taken down less frequently though.
If they were just sharing the files from your folders why not just put a huge "YOU GOT SCAMMED IF YOU PAID FOR THIS" banner?

Well that didnt last long

you could encrypt it all and require the key to unlock it, but then you'll be dealing with key requests.

I'm super bummed the repo is gone. I guess I should backup all my install files now.

Anyone willing to share the love and PM me a link to the whole collection?

Thank you

Sorry for all the questions, but is this all of the original content that existed in your collection of shares with the 50 post limit or is there a lot more that’s not included any longer. Thanks once again

J0K3R5 · 10-15-2021, 03:35 AM

I doubt it has anything to do with it ; I’m running ista from it -
I’m very grateful to the Joker

No problem here. More likely the large amount of data being transferred stressed the disk to failure.
