[Important] Upload.ee Website News

Hi all,

I write this topic to inform you about the status of the Upload.ee website. It was inaccessible for a week after a fire which destroyed part of the OVH servers located in Strasbourg, France.

For more information, consult this page: https://www.searchenginejournal.com/ovh-data-center-fire-darkens-thousands-of-sites-worldwide/398485/

Special thanks to mediocrenoob for this information link. 👍

Upload.ee is accessible since today. On the main page, we can read this message:

NB! Due to service provider OVH having a fire incident in Strasbourg datacentre, approximately 2/3 of the files were destroyed and cannot be recovered according to current information.

If a file is no longer available for download, the following message will be displayed on Upload.ee:

It is also possible that your account has been deleted. Feel free to check it on the main page and create a new account if this is the case.

Unfortunately, we now have to check every download link posted on the forum to make sure the files are available, which is very tedious. To greatly facilitate this operation, I have created a Batch script that allows you to easily check Upload.ee download links.

With this script, you can manually enter a link or the path to a text file to check the availability of the uploaded files. For the second option, a report will be created using the following template: <Link> = <Availability>

How it works?

After the user enters a link or path to a text file, the script downloads the corresponding page with PowerShell and parses it by searching for the phrase "this file was destroyed by fire".

If this string is found in the downloaded page, the script displays the "Unfortunately, this file is no longer available for download." message on the screen or writes it in the report. Otherwise, the "You are lucky, this file is still available for download." message is indicated.

Changelog:

This tool is open-source and will be frequently updated.
