After some careful consideration and the fact that i have ~20mbit free most of the time, I am considering hosting an FTP. However, content and security is an issue. Instead of public access, individual accounts shall be given (probably AIM'ing me your ATOT handle (at least x # of posts) and only certain people (admins) will be allowed to delete content. As far as pron goes .. it isn't illegal .. but I will probably forbid it. Anyone have any comments or ideas?

The server may be a little slow since it is on cogent. People with comcast cable are the fastest with international being the slowest.

edit: wrong speed.

APPLY: post count doesn't matter, PM me the # of posts (for reference), and the password you'll like.

server address: <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="ftp://atot.downloadanime.org"><a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="ftp://atot.downloadanime.org"><a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="ftp://atot.downloadanime.org"><a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="ftp://atot.downloadanime.org"><a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="ftp://atot.downloadanime.org">ftp://atot.downloadanime.org</a></a></a></a></a> (ignore anonymous, thats a seperate deal and directory)

Rules: No pron, No illegal stuff. You should know what illegal means. First offense = Ban. Zero tolerance. 1 connection per user. This FTP is used for other activities and can't have DL accelerators pulling 3mbit.

You would be taken down within 15 minutes by the ATOT effect.

Hosting a server on a home internet connection is usually against the TOS, and will get your account suspended or cancelled. It was a generous offer though.

Its not a home connection, colocated at voxel, and my post was wrong, i have 20mbit free, not 2mbit.

Well in that case, disregard everything that was said in this thread :)

Sounds like a good idea!

You say you have ~20mbit free most of the time. Is this an unmetered server or is there a bandwidth limit?

40 mbit unmetered for now. Sometimes it maxes out to 40mbit, but usually its 50-70% unused. I am unsure as to how much of an effect is the "ATOT effect"

It is extremely overrated.

Not at all.

When you announce something you get a lot of people immediately jumping on it, but it dies down quickly to a trickle.

And besides, on a given day there will be like ~800 ppl on the forums and only some many people are in ATOT downloading from you at the same time.

so has he started giving out accounts or what? If so I'm interested. I've got a shiny new 300 gig seagate just aching to be filled.... why did that come out as so dirty? :confused:

I need to know: Who is "trustworthy" in handling admin tasks. The admin(s) must be vouched by others, you cannot nominate yourself.

First few people that would come to mind are DeviousTrap, M4H, Fatkorean, Neonerd.

Next order: how many posts should the handle have? is it even logical to have a minimum post count? does post count even matter due to insane neffing strategies?

How much space do you have?

I'll upload all of the Top Gear vids that are on my server if you can handle it. ~16GB

I have 15GB+ of other automotive related videos that can be uploaded as well.

EDIT : But I'm a nub, so my input means nothing.

LOL 840 posts and you want it to be 1000!
