How to make your uploads last

With the recent shutting down of megaupload.com, it is no secret that the major file upload providers are deleting or blocking your files rapidly. This is a huge waste of your time spent re-uploading files. But there are ways to either stop or slow down the process of files getting deleted.

Here are some tips to make your uploads last longer:

1. Never, never, never, name a file exactly the same as its contents.

Example: BAD - Windows_Seven_Professional.rar
Good - wsp.rar

2. Always password protect your files. This prevents the the file storage company from seeing what you have uploaded. If possible give each different upload you do a different password.

Example File 1: B_L_v2.rar
File Password: a@4%_d1FR

Example File 2: sep_v12-3.rar
File Password: q&1W3c_p

3. Use a compression program, like WinRAR, that has the ability to encrypt your archives contents. Even if you password protect your archive, if the contents are not encrypted ( as in zip files ) they (file host company) can still open the archive and see the file names.

Hopefully, using the above tips, your uploads will be preserved longer.
