WebReaper Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 I'm in the UK and I've just re-graded my broadband, which means I now get 350KB/s on my torrents - not bad given that I'm 7.5km from my exchange and BT reckoned I'd only get a 512k connection. Anyway, I'm with Eclipse, and they have a (fairly reasonable, IMO) FUP, which means I can download anything I like between midnight and 6pm, but during the peak hours of 6pm-midnight I have to limit my total bandwidth usage to 20Gb/month. Of course uTorrent's scheduler makes this dead easy - I've just got my connection wound back during the peak hours, and it does a free-for-all the rest of the time. However...I also run an FTP server, to which a few mates upload/download stuff regularly, so I need to restrict the bandwidth on that too - otherwise some joker'll decide to download a few ISOs during peak hours and I'll get caned by my ISP. So, question is, are there any decent, simple-to-setup FTP servers which have bandwidth schedulers in them so I can limit my FTP traffic between those key peak hours? I currently run CerberusFTP, but it's not particularly feature-rich (it was just quick to set up).Thanks.
WebReaper Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Posted June 1, 2006 Oh, forgot to mention, the software has to be free.
WebReaper Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Posted June 1, 2006 Surely there must be one out there? *bump*.
torrero Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 Dunno. Maybe FileZilla Server is able to.http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla/
WebReaper Posted June 6, 2006 Author Report Posted June 6, 2006 Yeah, installed FileZilla and it has a nice bandwidth scheduler - does the trick nicely. Thanks.
