I wanted simpler, faster, easier and clutter free service to share small files on forums so I made my own. Design is not much at the moment, but functionality is A+, although I limited files to 20mb for now.

tell me what u think and would u like to use this kind of service.

Edit: I did some design which I never did before. Tell me now what you think.

I find it nice. I uploaded a test file to see how it works.

What I find good is that there was no page refresh.

The download page, nice, nothing much to say.

Simple & Good.

You just need to work on design. Add few colors and text styling. That's it.
 
The layout is pretty simple, i mean DEAD simple, it has nothing. (i like it though >.>)
My Suggestions would be :

1. Get a logo
2. A minimal layout (colors and background)
3. CSS3 effects (for buttons)
4. Where's the progress bar? I thought my internet stopped working, as i didn't see any progress of my upload :P (you must have one)
These changes will look great on your site.

And yeah, is it a custom coded script ?
 
tnx, i see u all like the functionality.

To answer questions:
1. I made this script myself. It uses AJAX with File API, that's why the page doesn't refresh.
2. the design is dead simple, but I will slowly add things of course, both design and functionality
3. the progress appears just below the upload button when you click it. It's no bar, just numbers like :"55%". You must have newer browser to see and I don't know if it works in IE. Also, if your file is small, the progress don't appear because of fast upload.

@Froomple what browser did u used?

Oh well, you can probably make it more "visible" :P
Usually progress is shown by ajax loaders, but your case its weird, which made me ignore the text xD
 
@juraska me too man! and I just started working with it

@Froomple the important thing it's there :D I can make numbers become bigger and bigger until 100%.
Now u reminded me how I read that surfers don't even notice the ad banners and everything else unimportant. Their brain is trained to ignore
