Simple, yes. Friendly, I'm not so sure.

It would be a bit more friendly if there were any information about how the site works (are there size limits? for individual files? for total number of files? for total size of uploaded items? can I delete an item once I upload it? how?)

Many sites now offer you an ultra-minimal start page, but in a way this isn't really friendly. The only way to find out about the service is to start using it. That's fine, but at least most of these sites have a link somewhere to a page with information about the service. I can't find anything like that here, but maybe I'm missing something obvious.

Nice. However - the upload box gets rendered behind the green hills. (Firefix 3.5.3 on Ubuntu)

Edit: it's not completely hidden, but largely obscured, such that I have to scroll down before I can see the form fields.

Edit 2: it seems to be a function of window size.

It doesn't look useful. There's no link to an About or FAQ page. Google finds: http://www.anyhub.net/faq.php?&l=en but that results in:

Definitely needs a progress indicator and some help with large files. Check out SWFUpload; while finicky, I've had great success with it (as has Wordpress, YouTube, etc.).

i love the simplicity, but i'm afraid it'll get popular and disappear

here's the dev's twitter: http://twitter.com/charliesome

and here's a forum post where he explains he hates rapidshare and set out to build an alternative: http://www.loungegn.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=54&st=...

and here's the (funny) non-existent faq page: http://www.anyhub.net/faq.php

On the subject of "write anything you like on my server," here is a fun little "Tragedy of the Commons" area for people to play with:

https://loom.cc/?function=edit&loc=ba35327dc62909d8383ca...

That location is stocked up with a limited number of usage tokens to limit the amount of data people can store there.

That's a great idea. You might want to improve your wording so I know what I'll get extra when I register.

Realistically, how far can you get with no ads?

I tried to upload a 12 meg file, but "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading" after about 60 seconds.

Why do I get a runtime error and files downloading any time I visit this site? Doesn't seem simple and certainly not friendly.

I applaud the effort, though dropbox's public folder has pretty much removed my need for services like this.
