Okay. This is my first post in a while, and I felt to share some info from another site:
http://www.filefury.net, originally posted by Bluenowhere:
Libero Mail as new uploading method...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I dunno if anyone else has heard about this, but i'm checking it out now...i guess there's a new service offered by the italian site Libero Mail called Jumbo Mail...basically it's free accounts that allow up to 1GB of uploads per account and once a file is ** DEAD LINK REMOVED ** a download link is generated (aka we can post the links here on FF for others to download, unlike email services like GMail where you'd have to log into gmail itself with a user/pass to get the files) and stays up for 7 days like YSI, but in this case the download limit is nonexistant as it is email so it either lasts all 7 days or the user can take the file down whenever before that...
If anyone's interested in getting a free account to try it out, here's a sort of guide for getting through the registration as it's kind of confusing in italian, lol...
**NOTE** For some reason, it takes you back to the first page sometimes when trying to register while using Mozilla, however it only seems to happen about half the time so if it happens to you i guess keep trying or just use Internet Explorer, because i know that works fine. Also, I wouldn't reccomend using Mozilla to actually upload the files in the jumbo email thing because it doesn't show you the upload progress for the file, which sucks if you're trying to test the upload speed or just watch the progress or whatever...anyways...
1. First, go to their registration page here:
http://registrati.libero.it/
2. Okay here's what to fill in for the following fields on the "Dati anagrafici" section of that page (obviously they can all be made up values):
Nome = first name
Cognome = last name
Sesso = sex (male or female)
Data di nascita (gg/mm/aaaa) = birth date (days/months/year)
Comune di residenza = residence (this doesn't have to be a real place)
Provincia (EE=estero) = province (just randomly select one)
3. For the "Desideri iscriverti come privato o come azienda?" thing, just keep it selected as "Privato"
4. Click the "Avanti" button to proceed to the next page
5. On the next page, scroll down to the "CONDIZIONI GENERALI DI CONTRATTO" and ignore all the stuff before that, you don't have to fill it out...
6. For "CONDIZIONI GENERALI DI CONTRATTO" and "CONSENSO AL TRATTAMENTO DEI DATI PERSONALI," select the "Accepto" choice, and for the final button, select "Si," then press "Avanti" again
7. On the next page, just enter in your desired email username and then your password twice just as you would normally, then copy the verification code into the box and press "Avanti" once again
8. If you get a page that says:
Nome utente:
* Username già esistente.
* Sono consentiti: numeri (0..9), lettere minuscole (a..z), punto, trattino e underscore (.-_).
* Puoi modificare i dati direttamente qui sotto.
* Prova una delle proposte alternative:
it means that your username has already been taken, so you can either choose one of the ones suggested by the site by scrolling through the "Seleziona una delle voci dall'elenco" menu, or you can entire in a new one in the box under "oppure scegli un altro nome:" and then press "Avanti" again
on the next page, you may be prompted to re-enter your password for verification purposes, so just do that and press "Avanti" again...and then if it did that then it will also ask you to enter in another verification code, and then press "Avanti" again...
9. Once you have success in making an unused username and all that jazz, it will take you to a new page that says "Registrazione conclusa con successo !" aka your registration was a success...
10. Now to start uploading stuff to your account, click on the "Mail" tab at the top of that screen, or just go here:
http://liberomail.libero.it/
11. Login with your new username/password and press the "Entra" button
12. Once logged in, access the Jumbo Mail section by choosing the "JUMBO MAIL" tab at the top of that page
13. The first time you use Jumbo Mail, you have to accept some agreement thing, so just check the "Accettazione Disclaimer (obbligatoria)" box and press "Attiva ora"
14. It will then say
"Complimenti! l'attivazione è avvenuta con successo.
Ora puoi accedere al servizio Jumbo Mail."
... just press "Prosegui" to continue ...
15. Now you should be in the Jumbo Mail email composing section, so now you basically just send the file you wish to upload as an attachment like you would in any other email service, and, if you wish to keep your file up for the maximum of 7 days, make sure you scroll down to "7" for the "Scadenza" option before sending the file
16. Once you're ready to send, press the "Invia" button; a new window should then open up (make sure you don't have a popup blocker on that will close the window), it will soon thereafter start showing you the upload progress for the file, and the time it takes to upload bascially is dependent on your internet connection just as it is with any other uploading method...so patience will be needed as always for using it
17. Basically that's it...once the file's ** DEAD LINK REMOVED ** just get the link from wherever you sent the email to (either your address at liberomail or another one you used) and you can paste it here just as you would for a YouSendIt link or whatever...and happy uploading, lol
