nissan300zx · February 5th, 2006, 09:52 AM

What's your internet connection? You can use bandwith limiter to limit the bandwith the FTP can use. So there's enough left for yourself to surf or whatever you do on the internet.

i have 1500k but i think uploads are 256k but i would like to know when people upload/download off my ftp does it count as uploads cos if it does my isp does not charge for uploads

Can't answer your question but you have the same connection as me (1500/256) and you can't really do much at all with that sort of connection. You could setup the FTP to send stuff to a friend if you want but thats about it..

hmm k, what if i just let people upload on it ?

jensked · February 5th, 2006, 11:04 AM

When people download from you , you are UPLOADING (256k = maximum 32kb/s). So you say your ISP doesn't charge you for that.

If you let people send things to your FTP server, you are DOWNLOADING (1500k = 187kb/s maximum). If you are saying your ISP does charge you for downloading, you shouldn't let people send you stuff.

So an FTP where people can download from you, could do it, but your upload speed is so slow it won't work images/smilies/smile.gif

. So here is what you can do. You can upload some good files to the existing FTP servers. That way you use your unlimited upload volume and you share.

hmm cos i really want topgear season 1 and 2, and if they were to upload those i wouldent mind if it used up a few gig i have 40 gig a month

so download it, there are plenty of FTP servers around, so it is available.

Now, SL65, i've done my best, now it's up to you. images/smilies/tongue.gif

nissan300zx, if you only have 40gb a month, change your ISP coz 40 is nothing if you want to download videos...

nissan300zx · February 5th, 2006, 08:13 PM
