Ok, I think you know about Mediafire.com, Anyways, What i've been working on for the past couple hours is a desktop based file downloader. Lets say you backup some files from your computer to the site but then when you get on someone elses computer and they don't have an internet browser on it? What do you do then? if you install this on that one persons computer and have the app setup properly you could then login to your virtual username password that is on the flashdrive, and then download one off your backup server. (Provided they have internet)

this application also has a custom encryption setup that fools hackers with a correct but raw version of the encryption library which has to be proccessed internaly before it can be used. it will encrypt your files list, login details, and much more that may be included with this. but the code is very complex yet fragile at this stage.

It may also be able to use custom texturepacks/skins
there is also the ability to archive files into the computers own server (if activated)
Also, all file names are encrypted as well when stored to the computer.
Many things will be added and basedo n how many ideas i have it may become like a website itself but runs as an .Exe file.
If you have any ideas for Apps that can be used for the Virtual teen forums PM me.

What I was able to get from your post is that you're going to make use of Mediafire's API. Am I right?

Most computers have a web browser on them, and you may as well just put a portable one on a USB stick if it comes to that. Plus, Mediafire already has good enough security -- you would have heard about that a long time ago if they didn't.

Your program would be useful, yet it is not really needed, so it will have few users, unfortunately.
But I'd still love to see how it turns out :)

Yeah I know, but I had nothing to do anyways. and this lets me practice some coding skills i've been theorizing.
Plus this might let me manage my dropbox server if i patch in some extra option loading protocols and make a few hooks.
Also Do you do you think i should try using a custom made archive type for the server file? (Still using Scratch VM at the moment, I haven't had time lately to do the Stencyl Tutorials.)

Why not use something that already is tried and good? It simplifies the code by ever so much.

I like to experiment with code.

Well, alright then, good luck.
You'll probably be needing it.
