UPLOADSCRIPT v1.03 (Free)
Copyright (c) 2006 Hyperweb. All rights reserved.
Homepage: http://www.uploadscript.net

Uploadscript is a file hosting script that will allow
you to run your own file hosting website. It is modeled 
after the many popular free file hosts like Rapidshare 
and Megaupload. Setup is super-easy and no programming
knowledge is required.

Uploadscript does not require a mysql database!

How it works: When a user uploads a file, it is MD5-
hashed and stored in encrypted form in a folder
called "storage."  A data file for each download is
also created and stored in a folder called "storagedata."

What's new in version 1.03:
- security vulnerability fixed
- enhanced security for uploaded files
- enhanced security for admin panel
- pagination bug fixed (more than 30 pages of files 
  will now display correctly)

What's new in version 1.02:
- minor bug fixes

What's new in version 1.01:

Notes:

 + On most web hosts the maximum upload filesize (set
   in a file called php.ini) is set to 2MB.  If your
   maximum filesize is greater than this limit, your
   users will receive the following error message:

   	- "You didn't pick a file to upload."

   There are 3 methods to change your host's maximum
   allowed upload filesize:

	1. Edit the following 2 variable in your php.ini file:

		- UPLOAD_MAX_SIZE
		- POST_MAX_SIZE

	   You will need root server access to edit your 
	   php.ini file, or you can ask your host to do 
	   it for you.

	2. You can obtain a copy of your php.ini file from
	   your host, and edit the 2 values described above.
	   Then simply place your copy of php.ini in your
	   local directory (where you installed Uploadscript).

	3. Add the following 2 lines in your .htaccess file:

	   	php_value upload_max_filesize 50M
		php_value post_max_size 50M

		- the examples above are set to 50MB
		- this is the easiest and most preferred method
