Its nothing ground-breaking. Just while thinking of some reliable file hosting server to host common files, it occurred to me that why not use GMail!
It gives plenty of space and by using GMailFS one can even use gmail as a separate partition/disk in explorer!

here's the account i just created
ahkuser:ahkuser1

@ Eleria
there's a difference if you use it on your own, or if you share it with miriads of users (while it's assigned to you, and therefore you will go to jail if eg. child porn will be shared via it*). Have you ever heard of shared drives at Universities (eg. ancient Napster) which were used only for a limited time (till an admin realised a significant increase of traffic in that area and blocked it).
TBH, my main concern - I don't wanna see Rajat to get into trouble. :)

* AFAIK, depends on the legal situation in your/the hosts country. :!:

Well in my country everything is completely going crazy about downloading and p2p sharing in any way >_<
Anyway, where there is a way to share things there is always child porn and strongly forbidden things to get. :?

thanks for your concern BoBo.
there're pros & cons of everything ... and if anyone finds anything that shouldn't be there.. delete it!

thanks!

.. delete it
- wouldn't surprise me particularly if some idiot didn't do that to the files that are suposed to be there (i.e. vandalism). There's also the possibility of someone replacing genuine scripts with malicious ones.
