Add store of a server

Where to upload store folder online?
Our program can download from direct download links. So you can upload store folder as a zip file in any online file hosting services which can generate direct download links ( and not links with download buttons ). Some sites i found are
1. If you have vps, you can get an file link easily
2. Sourceforge.net. You need to create an account and add your files and copy the link.
3. Github releases. If you have a free github account, then create repository and add 'releases' - upload the file and you get link
4. Follow this website to learn to make a direct download link using Google Drive ( if you have a gmail account ) (Add &confirm=t to the end of the URL if the file is large) or Dropbox (faster download)

When link is ready, click on above 'Add store of a server'

Note: Any server's store can be deleted by passing url as "delete" without quotes on the website "Add store of a server" link above, so that it no longer appear in the program.

Look what i am making.



If it is going well, then you just have to double click server and the store of the server will be installed.

Signed up in bitly.com which shortens some of my urls.

Now, some finishing touches remaining.

Looks helpful indeed, especially for when servers have high ping (slow downloading speed).
Are you uploading the `store` directories yourself for the example you just posted (latest post), or it's some trick done so you download the files like you were in server

[habi]

Yes.  I have been uploading the stores of the server myself.  Visiting servers and zipping the contents of 'server store' folder.

Completed and first post updated for download links.

Last two days, i was trying to create a "Check for updates" for the app itself, so that app.exe need not be downloaded again and again.

And two more servers added.

Update: Now the program has a collection of 16 ( SIXTEEN ) server store-files.

Now, you can get the URL of the store files which are saved, by a POST request.
