How do you login to pastebin then paste something IN computercraft? And how do you edit a paste already made?

[Cranium]

I have worked with the Pastebin API that is offered, and unfortunately they do not offer a way to edit pastes witht heir API. However, you can log in and delete pastes, as well as make pastes to your own account.
Take a look at Pastebin's Developer API: http://pastebin.com/api
Alternatively, you can look at how I implemented the login into my SmartPaste program, listed in my signature.

Well, can I use it to edit pastes?

You'll have to use his program to even try. And I don't think even that works.

Like I said. Pastebin does not have anything in their API that allows for editing. The only thing you can do is "trick" the system, by downloading a file, then editing it. After editing, reupload it after deleting the original. I couldn't find a pretty way to do that, so that's why it is not implemented in my program. If you find a nice way to do it, then congratulations.

But then there's the upload limit...

[Cranium]

Upload limit would only cause problems if you edit constantly. You do have a private post limit that you cannot change, but the way that they flag you for ip ban is different.
Take a look at their rules regarding post limits.
As well as how their Spam Filter works.

If you're having to edit things so often that you have to consider the upload limit, then respect their terms of use and don't try to abuse their site.
