We all have used rapidleech at some point in our life to transload files. Its a bulky script that gets you banned from almost any webhosting service cause its so resource intensive.

Then there is Transloader.com which asks for your ftp login details. You can give it to them, but will you feel safe doing so?

Then, there are 2 techniques to transfer files from one server to your server directly! They can be used on almost any web server. One of them is being used in a script i developed. It was for another server where they used protection against rapidleech. This script works flawlessly and best of all, its for free.

I first worked on it back in April 2009, now after 1 year, i have again upgraded the script with 3 methods to transfer files that works on almost all servers. I have also set an option to password protect the script.

Its a very simple script that can be used by anyone who owns a website. I myself use it to transfer files to my website. I also use it to back up my website to another server.

It can transfer a 100MB file in under 1 minute!

Give it a try and let me know how it is working out for you!

Download the script here:  http://somik.org/requests/transloader.zip

On user request, i have also made a similar script capable of transloading multiple files at one go. This is still in beta phase so let me know if you encounter any errors.

Also the flash is made to match the current theme.

Any suggestions on theme or flash intro welcome

As you know, we have a emoticons, smiley and avatar gallery for you. There, you will find over 50,000 images to use on your website, blog, forum, msn messenger, and every other place you want to express yourself with a smiley!

If picture is worth a thousand words, then we have 50 million words worth of smilies and emoticons and avatars on the gallery. It is also being constantly updated with newer images and offensive images are being removed. Unlike before, the smiley and emoticons are listed on a seperate page then the avatars. I have also included some javascript preview options of the images inside the folder before you go in. Hopefully this will save a lot of time for you when you are on a rush to find a smiley for your forum/blog post!

We allow hotlinking, which means you can link the emoticons and smileys and avatar directly from our blog. You can also download it to your computer or upload it to your website.

Why dont you go take a look for yourself?

You can thank us by helping us increase our collection! Just post a reply a link to your emoticons/smiley/avatar pack and we will include it in our gallery. You will also get to see your name inside the gallery as a contributer!

We all need somewhere to upload our images before we can link them on our blog or add to our website or forum or even to show it to a friend. Currently, there is Photobucket, Imageshack, Tinypic and so on. So where does ImagePerl fit in all these?

First of all, its ad free. It is also free of charge. It includes state-of-the-art image upload options, which includes, but is not limited to:

• Multiple image upload from computer (10 at one go)
• Multiple image upload from remote servers (10 image urls at once)
• Zip upload (allowing you to zip up all the images and upload all-together)
• Text to image converter (great for making quotes)
• Flash image drawing board (draw a image online!)

Thats not all we offer. While uploading the image, you are able to:

• Protect your image from being displayed in public gallery of ImagePerl
• Apply a image border
• Apply a thumbnail border
• Watermark your image with ImagePerl watermark
• Flip image horizontally
• Flip image vertically
• Resize image to any desired size
• Rotate image 90, 180 and 270 degrees
• Shear right image
• Shear left image
• Apply horizontal scanline on image
• Apply vertical scanline on image
• Apply any number of above mentioned options at once, and to all the images you are about to upload.

You can also upload image directly to your ImagePerl gallery. Oh, didn’t i mention? You are able to create and password protect your images in a gallery.

These and more modifications were done to ImagePerl back in 2009 by yours truly! Read more about it here.

Ever heard the saying “why fix something thats not broken?” The answer is: To make it more AWESOME!

First, ImagePerl have been remodded to fix some minor bugs and some parts had to be recoded to lower server load. It was done to make ImagePerl acceptable and desirable to a wider range of users. The theme has undergone various changes in the past year and it is still being changed and redesigned to match the new banner.

ImagePerl now features a first ever Firefox addon that has been used on a noncommercial website to make it easier for the members to upload image easily while browsing. All you do is install the plugin, and go about your browsing. When you come across a image you like, right click on it and select “Upload to ImagePerl”. It will directly go inside your images folder. Remember that you need to be logged in to perform this. Not a problem since once you login, ImagePerl will not ask you to relogin in the next 30 days!

ImagePerl also has a Opera menu mod that does the same thing, however due to its difficulty in installing, i will have to write a seperate tutorial for that one.

ImagePerl now lets you comment on images as you like! Yes, you have heard it folks, images you upload to imageperl, you can get users to comment on it. Since you want your privacy, i have only enabled commenting in the public area. I will later consider enabling it inside your own galleries aswell!

Here is a screenshot of how ImagePerl looks:

iGod is the internet god. I did not write the script. I got it from a website and with their permission, i had it around for a really long time. If you are wondering what iGod is, its a funny version of internet god. You will be laughing all the way chatting with this funny bot who acts like a god! He is really smart (for a bot) and can turn you into a believer.

Have fun chatting with Him and do remember to post your comments on what you thought of him!

GemX is composed of five small websites.

First one is GemYouTube. The purpose is simple. It takes a youtube link and converts it to be viewed in lower resulation for users like me on low bandwidth. All you do is drag the bookmark to anywhere on your browser, and click it when playing a video on YouTube. That makes the bookmark transfer the video to GemX website for easy viewing.

Second one is State of the art url shortener, based on a script designed by us. Why state of the art? Why dont u go and see our GemURL.

GemSearch provides you a quick alternative to search somik.org and sites under it very fast!

As for AnonymousURL redirection service, it will be like others, except it will bearly load GemX site! We value your time. So we wont make you wait for even a second!

To all,

Everything is Improved at Hostimage.co.uk.

It is impossible, that you will now have issues regarding, registration, uploading, storage, deleting, categorizing, link codes, storage etc etc. All user requests and related issues have been addressed by Somik, the administrator of Hostimage.co.uk. I am only a normal user here and I have used the new updated Hostimage seamlessly. It is working very well. Everything has been taken care of and Users’s choice has been kept in mind while adopting the new changes.>-

I LOVE THIS SERVICE. But yet, Some of you have expressed displeasure and skepticism about this service, and a few of you have sent me emails/tweets. Somik, has already mentioned that time, that server work and bug fixing was underway and yea there were some delays because of that. Which service doesn’t? Instead as a result of that, hostimage Service has been improved significantly. Also Wouldn’t you appreciate the fact that the admin has resolved each of your issue immediately in a matter of hours, and replied to each one of you?? If this is not being responsible, then I don’t know what is!

Guys, hostimage has been upgraded and it is very good to use and trust with your images ! Also, as Somik disclaimed, you are free to use any commercial image host, if you don’t Like it. But I am of the firm belief, that even with a commercial image host you won’t the Coolness, Convenience , Customizability of Hostimage.co.uk. Trust me on this!!

(Ignore this service at your own loss)
