Hi Warezrocks, just a few ideas to pass along. You, Megaduce, modD have access to my server now. That is a small part of this process. The method I used which was the IP# thingy ment that "Everyone" is Banned to start with. Adding a small number of IP#'s that can access resulted in only those folks trying to connect to the machine. Nobody would hammer away in that case because it is pointless to do that. I suppose you could call the server a "Private" machine, although I prefer to think of it as "Limited Access". All servers on the Net are Limited Access eventually, because the machines do not have capacity to Serve Everyone. So in that sense every machine is ultimately a Private Server for one reason or another. The only issue is finding the right number of folks that the Available Bandwidth can handle properly. Folks have been quite good at uploading to my server, and I added some things as well.
In my case 1 upload serves 6-7 others. Obviously a ratio of a sort. If there was more Bandwidth available then it could be 1:20-30 or more etc. In the end there will always be a ratio, Bandwidth is not infinite.
I have had quite a few folks looking for an account too. I simply put them in a Hold List. My interest is to find other folks that are also FTP Sysops. At the moment I have several. Connecting FTP Sysops forms a "Backbone" that ultimately can support quite a few folks that are not able to run a server for one reason or another. Guess that is part of the "Dream" too.
