How to Share Large File on The Web Using MegaUploadOne of the most advantage of using MegaUpload, compare with other similar service, is the duration how long your file(s) will be kept in their server. Your uploaded files will be deleted only after it become unused for 30 days. So, if many of your friends download it, over and over again, the files will always be there. The size is quite big, up to 250MB. Not as big as YouSendIt which allow up to 1GB file size, but it's more than enough to share your music files, movies, etc.

WindowsXP/expertzone - 04.01.2006No fix for data corruption bug in Windows Home Server
Two months after acknowledging a serious data corruption bug exists in Windows Home Server, Microsoft has admitted it still has no fix. The latest
update to its knowledgebase entry essentially says, "still workin' on
it". The bug relates to a little known, but frequently used, method of writing hidden data to NTFS file systems, which is incompatible with the
disk pooling strategy used in Home Server.
The software giant first acknowledged the problem on December 21 last year, providing a list of
programs that could cause data on a Windows Home Server to become corrupted, including Windows Vista Photo Gallery, Windows Live Photo Gallery,
OneNote 2007, OneNote 2003, Outlook 2007, Money 2007, SyncToy 2.0 beta, QuickBooks and uTorrent.

betanews.com - 22.07.2008Warning: Windows 7 beta could corrupt your MP3s
Several reports from users using the latest leaked build of Windows 7 indicate a potential data corruption issue using Microsoft's Windows Media
Player 12. Windows 7 beta 1 build 7000 leaked over the Christmas holidays and a Microsoft spokesperson has confirmed that there is a bug which
affects the leaked build. Approximately 2-3 seconds will get shaved off the beginning of MP3s if you have set your Windows Media Player 12 settings to
retrieve information from the internet and update files. The default configuration for WMP12 sets this if you use the "express" option during setup.
"The problem only happens when you edit metadata on a certain class of MP3 file (a file with a header larger than 16KB).

betanews.com - 03.12.2008Microsoft narrows scope of Home Server bug
Microsoft Corp. product managers Friday claimed that a data corruption bug in Windows Home Server crops up only when the system is under an "extreme
load," but also defended their decision to sound a general alarm before they had completed their investigation.
The news that
Windows Home Server (WHS) could corrupt files raised a storm of criticism from customers and observers alike.
"The problem
isn't one hundred percent reproducible, and depends on quite a few different factors," explained Todd Headrick, the product planning manager on the
Windows Home Server (WHS) team. "Home Server has to be under an extreme load while doing a large file copy," he said, adding that the flaw comes
into play only in instances when the file server's cache is full and the user is editing a file previously saved to a shared folder.

neowin.net - 25.12.2006Windows Home Server Power Pack 1 Public Beta
Microsoft has detailed its plans to release a public beta of its Windows Home Server Power Pack.
The update will include a fix for the data
corruption issues that have plagued the OS since its release.
In a message to potential testers the company said:
"Due to the
nature of the shared folder data corruption bug (KB #946676) a broad beta test program with sufficient time for feedback is required. The time line
for a final release will depend on this feedback and testing, in order to deliver a fix of the highest quality. To meet our goals for the beta test we
need the number of beta testers who are actively using and testing the Power Pack 1 beta to ramp up very quickly"
The company is asking
for anyone currently using Home Server to sign up to the beta to ensure the data corruption issue is fixed.
neowin.net - 22.05.2008Should Microsoft Release Windows Home Server PP1 Now?
Terry Walsh: Todd Headrick (who is the Product Planner over on the Windows Home Server team) is seeking some feedback from the community on a
question. Earlier today, Microsoft revealed that the Data Corruption bug fix was currently scheduled for June 2008 - previously, we’ve been
advised that Power Pack 1 would be held back until the bug fix was ready - here’s Todd’s question:
Knowing that the home server team has a current estimate of June, 2008 for the fix for the data corruption issue, do people believe that the team should “dust off” the Power Pack 1 code and release prior to a fix for the data corruption issue?
“When certain programs are used to edit or transfer files that are stored on a Windows Home Server-based computer that has more than one hard drive, the files may become corrupted”.According to an Microsoft email sent to beta testers this has now been fixed:
“While internal testing so far indicates that we have fixed the data corruption bug in the beta release, the whole point of a beta test is to validate internal testing”
