This is a project I have in mind, but still do not know if it would be a good idea.

Basically, it is a site with multiple distributions / maps and scripts to download not only new but also have old contents. (ex: old maps, servers and scripts). And the users can also send files to contribute.

Uhm, sorry for my bad english.
 
Interesting project. This is my Tibia folder:

Whoa, 25 GB!!!1!!!

I have only 9 gb in my tibia/ot folder.

I do not know if I will continue this project, but made some modifications.

OBS: When a user upload a file, the system check SHA1 hash from file and compare to existing files, this is a good system to prevent multiple uploads of the same file?
 
And organized TFS server for everyone to accesses would be absolutely amazing.
 
People will upload virus if you let anyone upload.
That would not hurt the server, since a virus has to be executed to harm anything, the only thing that it would hurt is the downloader.
And we would just have to do like everyone else, write that its not scanned and do not open an executable file, compile it yourself or use it when scanned.
People need to learn to not trust everyone..
Or add some type of antivirus check, but that would not work since most of tfs versions have alot of false-positive viruses.

The virus check ins't hard, but as you said, the distributions of the TFS has a false positive alert

Yeah, the only way would be to check if there is a virus, then it has to be approved otherwise just put it in the database.

Yeah, would make it better, but those with programming skills could easily make an ud keylogger/trojan or w/e, but that applys to any executable so :p

True but you can't go overkill either. Either go no security at all or maximum security.
 
Yeah, the safest you could make it imo would be required source code. That way the website owner/staff should check the source and compile themselves :) that way it would be safe if the staff doesnt do something fishy themselves. :)

Ye and to not allow any exe upload, and if they are uploaded they require a mod to approve.

All uploaded files will be scanned by VirusTotal only to catch detectable viruses, users can also vote if the file is reliable or not.

The system generates a SHA256 hash of each file, and can not upload two equal files. So if there is already a trusted file, and other similar file is sent, we know that this new file should have special attention. (even if it is an edited version of the same map, or even an executable compiled on a different computer, but equal to any existing version.)

And I think that might have some system that the file to be "approved" before releasing the download.

again, sorry for my bad english.
