I was going to see if I could host a UUP dump instance on here, so I checked the ToS first, and realized that pretty much any executable file is prohibited, which UUP dump uses so it can download many files with more control.
UUP dump is a PHP app so I was just curious if it would work.
I assume this is to stop malware but what if it’s not malware?
Then there is still very little reason to upload the file to our hosting anyways.
We provide a website hosting service, i.e. hosting for things that web pages. If you’re looking for some place to share files for people to download, there are file sharing services that are purposely built for doing that well.
I’m not familiar with what a “UUP dump” is, a Google search says it’s dump of Windows updates? If so, you should definitely be serving that from a file sharing site. We also have a 10 MB file size limit on our hosting which will probably prevent you from hosting these files here.
UUP dump is a PHP app that lets you download Windows UUPs. It works by emulating the Windows Update feature, downloading metadata CABs, converting them to JSON files, and then giving you an option to either download the UUP set, or an ISO file built using the files. It barely stores anything, because it downloads everything from Microsoft’s site. And the files it does store are only about 3 megabytes, which are the CAB files which get converted into 1 KB files.
Do the actual update files get pulled through the PHP application? Because if so, we don’t want to host it either. It’s not just about excessive storage usage, it’s about excessive bandwidth usage too.
Only a site that crawls the update server and generates links that lets people download the files directly from the Microsoft servers would be allowed. Anything else is too taxing for free hosting.
And you won’t be able to build the ISO images here either, because we don’t provide the option to run any command line functions.
