Freebie links temporarily disabled
February 18, 2008
After much investigation into timing out issues, I will no longer house the downloads for my freebies here at the blog due to hotlinking. It was my hope to be able to house them here but its evident that it can no longer be this way.
I spent the better part of my evening looking for the best solution, and currently feel the best solution will be to go back to using 4shared.com for housing the zips, but will those zips will be password protected. To get the password, I will set up and create a yahoo group to house them and you will have to join and retrieve the stored password. Also by joining the group, you can receive updates directly to your email address when I have added a new freebie here at Kiss My Scrap.
I will post an update as soon as I have the freebies uploaded and passwords set so that you may join and grab those freebies. I do apologize if this seems to be an inconvenience but at this point and time I feel its the best option.
Thank you

If you are going to do a Yahoo group anyway, why not upload your freebies within the yahoo group. There is a section for files. Upload your frebies there. When you approach the limit, delete the oldest.
I am in other groups that do this. It keeps access to the freebies controlled. No hotlinking. Only members of the group can get to the file to download. This also keep group members from sharing the link. Some people forward the messages with good intentions, others with bad intentions. Either way, they are both in the wrong.

Thank you for your suggestion, I was unsure how much space yahoo gives for file storage and some of the files can be pretty big but thats a great idea and perhaps I could move the older files to a 4shared and not send link out just store the link with password to grab older files. I will check that out!!
