- daveloyall 12y agoThese are the people behind transfer.sh: https://github.com/dutchcoders/ https://github.com/dutchcoders/ ...Based on some words I see on that page, I think they will anticipate abuse and roll with the punches.
- nl5874 12y agoRight you are! We will implement a page in between depending on the referer. Direct download users won't have any issues, but to prevent abuse the page will be shown if from an other site.
- Kudos 12y agoYeah, nice target for drive-by malware uploaders. A better approach than blanket allowing of hotlinking is to whitelist certain user agents (curl, wget) and only allow those to directly download the file, and to present landing pages detailing the file and its contents to everyone else. It's been on my list of things to implement in my own sharing site.
