How to Upload on Yousendit

1. Go to the [Only registered users can see links. ]. Once there you will see a screen like this:
   
   First enter a e-mail address, then click the "Browse" button.
2. A new pop-up that looks like this will appear:
   
   Simply select the file you wish to upload and then click "Open."
3. Finally you can click "Send it"
   \
4. Now begins the wait. When you see this screen you know the file is uploading. How long it takes depends on your connection speed and the size of the file.
   
5. When the file is done uploading you will see a confirmation screen like this one with a URL that will read as "http://s11.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=XXXXX" where the XXXXX is some random letters and numbers. You can highlight and copy (Ctrl+C) the link right click it as I have shown and choose "Copy shortcut." (Both ways are the same, either way you are just copying the URL) You can post paste the URL (ctrl+P) in your post and share your files with others ^^

Tricks for Yousendit

Unlimited downloads for 7 days
The first and most useful trick is how to extend the download limit of your YSI past 25. First upload a file as you normally would. When you get your final URL

http://s11.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=XXXXX 
(XXXXX is for the random letters and numbers)

Change the d to an e.

You can also use this when accessing other people's YSI, take the URL and replace the d to access what would otherwise be an expired or blocked link. Remember this will only work within 7 days of the upload.

Uploading files larger than 1GB
First I must say you are really quite a nice person to be uploading something that large. You can use Winrar to split your file into smaller pieces. This also works for really large files that you want to just break up in general. It is also helpful when you want to combine all the songs of an album into one file so you don't have to upload each song individually.

FAQ

Q: What kinds of files can I send through yousendit?
A: You can send ANY type of file, of sizes up to 1GB. You cannot upload folders or directories however, for those I would recommend using Winrarto compress them into one rar file.

Q: Who can use yousendit?
A: Anyone. Yousendit is a FREE service.

Q: What other alternatives are there to YSI for sharing files?
A: Right now at our forums we only use YSI as temporary file uploads, ie to fulfill file requests or for extremely large files (over 100MB etc). For most everything else we use Yahoo Briefcases as our premanent file storage. Another alternative to Yousendit is MegaUplad (formerly known ad Youshareit). It works in the exact same way as YSI except their files will stay on their servers as long as people continue to download them. Once people stop downloading the file, it will be deleted. File uploads to Megaupload will be treated the same as YSI for the time being.
You can access Megaupload [Only registered users can see links. ]

Q: Can YSI send files with Chinese/Korean/Japanese Filenames?
A: Yes it can. However your files will be renamed in the process and the chinese, Japanese or Korean will be removed. For example if your file was named Jay一路向北.mp3, it will be renamed to renamed_Jay.mp3.

Q: How long should it take to upload? I've been uploading forever and it is still not done!
A: How long it takes depends on your connection speed and the filesize. As it says on the uploading screen, 1MB can take anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes. Also there was an issue of sometimes, yet rarely, that YSI gets stuck on the uploading screen and never take you to the final screen. Here is what you can do to check on this. When you filling out the e-mail, put in your own e-mail. That way you can check to see if you got the file and YSI is simply stuck. This is an extremely rare occurance and more likely than not, you are simply expecting your computer to be faster than it really is. =P
