But I’m not in the position to question motives but to review two services that spread files to multiple file hosts.

RapidSpread and TinyLoad are two services that basically provide the same service. The user can upload a file and they start spreading it around to multiple file hosts. The major difference between the two services is as to how that is managed. Rapidspread does not allow the selection of file hosts but spreads the uploaded files to all file hosts that it has in its database. The ten file hosts currently in the database include Rapidshare, Sendspace and DepositFiles.

A profile page for every uploaded file is created which can be accessed to reveal the links to the various file hosts the file has been spread to.

TinyLoad on the other hand gives the user more choice. He can select the file hosts from a selection of 12 including Megaupload, Rapidshare and DivShare. Another difference is a file filter that is being used by TinyLoad to prevent that certain file types are being uploaded. Rapidspread did not have a problem with an executable file whereas TinyLoad did reject the file.

Uploading files to multiple file hosters has several advantages such as backup locations if a file expires or gets deleted at one hoster for instance. Some hosters have a transfer limit which can also be overcome by uploading it to several file hosters.

Several well known file hosting services, such as Rapidshare, Divshare and Megaupload, are included in the upload service. The file has to be uploaded only once by the user which is a great advantage and will be distributed by the Tinyload service to the file hosters. It can take a while before the download links become visible.

A unique url is created during each upload that lists the links to the files on the various file hosting websites. This is ideal for posting at Twitter or Instant Messengers.

Tinyload is also accessible through a bookmarklet which comes in handy when something needs to be quickly uploaded.
