verify uploaded contents and "reupload" option
I think it would great if wuala had an option to verify the uploaded contents with the source file maybe with an md5sum or something. And also an option to force the upload for files that don't have the same checksum.
Thanks,

Inappropriate?Did you experience any file corruption?
-
Inappropriate?At least a SHA256 Hash should be already computed so it would be nice to display it as well!
I’m indifferent

Inappropriate?The reason why I'm concerned as well is becaue I don't know how reliable the storage is. I don't know how well Wuala is maintaining my files.
Something as simple as:
Integrity verified on Sept. 4th 2008 (for each file)
would give me alot of piece of mind because I atleast know when it was last verified. -
Inappropriate?Determinant: Exactly but on the other hand, the uploaded content I think should only be verified with its source directly after the upload so that you're able to delete the source. This system doesn't make sense if you need to keep a local source....am I seeing this right? Is there anyone from the Wuala team around?
I’m waitting patiently :)

The integrity should be able to be verified even if you don't store a local copy. To verify the integrity, the client shouldn't download the file again but there's a couple of things that it could do:
-Check that there are enough fragments available so that the file could be rebuilt
-Compute checksum or hash (or similar) on all the computers that store the fragments to make sure that none of the fragments got corrupted. -
Inappropriate?To verify if the file is uploaded you can right click->properties->size (check button). But I think it doesn't tell you much more than that...

Inappropriate?Please go and have a look at http://getsatisfaction.com/wuala/topi...
That's where i have a problem e.g. (This has happened earlier already too).
Please tell me what I can do...
Thanks!
