Hello, I'm looking for someone who can design a desktop application that will allow user's to automatically submit content to my website. We had one before but the original designer of the application is extremely busy and is not able to find time to upgrade the current one we have.

Basically the way it works is a user downloads the program, installs the program and run the application from their desktop. This program will allow user's to either upload to rapidshare.com or megaupload.com (as a registered or free user). The program will .rar the file(s) for the user, submit it to the hosting company and then auto post it on our website under their user id.

Here is a snap shot of how the auto uploader functions.

http://www.albumhunt.com/ahuploader.php

Here is the file to download so you can see how it installs and operates:

http://www.albumhunt.com/uploader.rar



Basically we want the same functions but we want to be able to have it for our new site which is mediahunt.org. Mediahunt is the same as Albumhunt only that it has more sections.

We also want to add more site to submit to other then rapidshare and megaupload.

The sites we would like to uploader to be compatible with are:

rapidshare.com
megaupload.com
depositfiles.com
hotfile.com
megashare.com


We need this done as soon as possible and only serious coders need apply.

Requirements Interview Answers:
To help you bid more accurately, the buyer was interviewed about the requirements for this bid request. Below are their answers.

Bid request Type: What kind of work do you need done? Software related (Includes desktop applications and internet websites) Bid request Parts: What do you want the worker to do on this bid request? Requirements: The worker will analyze the problem and propose a software-based solution to the problem. Programming: The worker will take the requirements and translate them into the language of the computer (and test it). User installation: The installer will move the software from the place it was created (which is called the development or QC environment) to where you will use it (which is called the production environment). The installer then tests the software to make sure that the installation was done properly and completely. Req. Doc. Type: What kind of documentation do you want for this bid request? Informal documentation - As the buyer talks back and forth about the bid request with the worker, those conversations become the requirements.Remember to communicate ALL of the details of your bid request on the Rent A Coder site. If you don't, and there is a dispute, then important details of the contract will not be documented and cannot be taken into account in arbitration. If you feel you MUST go offsite (for example, using the phone or IM) then afterwards post everything onsite and get the other party to post that they agree to those contractual terms. Program Type: What kind of software should the worker create (and/or install)? A desktop or server program: This software runs on a user's own PC/workstation, or on a server. Desktop / server program info Size of application: How many screens/forms need to be created/edited in this application? I don't know. Programming Language: What programming language(s) do you want your application written in? I don't know what language (and need the worker's assistance to suggest it). Operating system(s) What operating systems(s) do you want your application to work on? I do know the operating system(s): Microsoft Windows -- version(s): XP and 7 Database: Will this bid request include a database? I'm not sure (and need the worker to advise me). Installation Program: Does the worker need to create an installation program? Yes AND the program will be installed on only a single computer. Legal: 1) I require complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done (so that I may modify it in the future). 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): 2a) If there are any server-side deliverables (intended to only exist in one place in the Buyer's environment) then they must be installed by the Worker in ready-to-run condition (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer). 2b) All other software (including but not limited to any desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute) must include a software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer). 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. 3b) No part of the deliverable may contain any copyright restricted 3rd party components (including GPL, GNU, Copyleft, etc.) unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the worker's Worker Legal Agreement.

Other Requirements:

• All deliverables must be uploaded to Rent A Coder before the deadline(s) for this bid request...with no exceptions. If this contract makes it impossible for a competent person to do this, then do not start this bid request...but instead alert Rent A Coder of an un-arbitratable, illegal bid request.
  
• Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business bid requests <$500 (before the buyer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the software buyer and worker agreements. Rent A Coder monitors all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressors on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.

Expert Guarantee Required:

     It is crucial to the buyer that this entire bid request be completed (100%) by the deadline of days. They only want expert workers who will commit themselves to this deadline to bid. If you are not an expert or unable to commit completely to the deadline, then DO NOT BID on this bid request.

     If you are an expert and can commit, the buyer would like you to demonstrate this by making an Expert Guarantee of at least 10% of your bid. (This would not need to be made now...but only if and when you are are selected as the winning bidder). If you complete the job (100% by the deadline), then your deposit would be refunded to you. If you do not, then you would forfeit the deposit and it would go to cover the buyer's cancellation charge and the remainder donated to a non-profit charity.

     Please note that depending on how you choose to make the deposit, there may be a small, non-refundable processing fee. This fee can be reduced or eliminated by choosing a less expensive method of payment. Or, you may wish to ask the buyer to cover the cost of the fee for you. You can do this in a number of ways such as: increasing the price of your bid, asking the buyer to post a 2nd bid request to cover it (contingent on completion of the bid request), or by getting the buyer to promise to pay the fee to you as a bonus (upon completion of the bid request). If you choose the bonus route, just remember that due to credit card/PayPal rules, Rent A Coder CANNOT force a buyer to pay a bonus involuntarily...even when promised on-site. So don't choose this option, unless you trust the buyer, or are willing to take a small risk.

     This is just a very brief overview of how the Expert Guarantee works and there are many more details that you need to understand fully before you bid on this bid request. DO NOT BID on this bid request until you've read and fully understand everything about the Expert Guarantee (including reading the contract and the FAQs).
