Right now, I can't purchase a membership. I was wondering if anybody knew of any good websites, that didn't cost $, where I could have a direct link download usable with Byond.

The pager requires a direct link to the hub, as you know, so sites such as rapidshare would not work.

I would suggest using Google to search for free web host or free file hosting.

http://www.freewebs.com - I have not used this service for years, but I will assume it still works.
http://www.angelfire.lycos.com - Same situation as freewebs.

And this works for uploading demos and libraries?

Freewebs is currently unable to provide direct link hosting to .zip or other non-digital media files.
You can only host images, I believe.
I don't know about Angelfire.

You're best bet, OP, is to search Yahoo/Google/MSN/Bing/Ask.com and look for direct-link or hotlink free file hosting.

This website is basically a similar version of RapidShare.

I can't get this to work with websites I try.

My bad, I thought it allowed hotlinking.

It has direct-linking for free accounts as well, but there is a catch. You must promote it in some way. However, it does say you can provide a link from any website that contains the OpenDrive logo or link.

I even got one you can use as a reference to enable direct-linking (from a blog post I made):

Of course there are other websites (which I haven't used yet).

http://dropbox.com :)

everything in the public folder gets its own direct link and it makes things easy to updat since its just a folder connected to the web :o .

I use fileave.com for years, and I'm pretty sure it still allows hot linking.

uppit.com, I think that's what it's called. I used it to upload my winget/show demo.

http://uppit.com has a 5 second wait and a download button you need to click, I don't believe that would work (unless they had some form of membership). http://fileave.com is nice, but you only have a 200gb limit and you HAVE to log in once every 30 days, which I can't bother to deal with.

I have found the best website to use is Dropbox.

Dropbox offers 3GB.

I'd recommend either Dropbox or Skydrive.

Edit: Don't use Skydrive, it seems to change the links to your files more often than I'd thought.

I used skydrive for a few years, but I can't say I was ever very fond of it. It created excessively long links whereas dropbox links are smaller and easier to manage. Though, skydrive has a free 25gb (if I recall correctly?) which is very nice for storing lots of things, if you need that much space.

Yeah, I prefer Dropbox as well. In addition to the long links Skydrive generates, I had a problem once where one of them changed at some point, breaking the download (although that has only happened once AFAIK). I just mentioned it because of the storage space and because a lot of people already have a Windows Live ID.

Tinyurl.

Not everyone trusts tinyurl. I usually don't click anything from tinyurl, regardless of who sent me the link.
