Added two more buttons to eabsearch. "Show top downloaders" and "Show top uploaders".
This is only for registered users and does not include the "ftp" account. https://grandis.nu:444/eabsearch/ |

That can be right Turran?
For example, if I look at "Show Top Uploaders" I'm not even in the list: Code:
TOP UPLOADERS FOR ALL TIME .-=-------------------------------------------------------------------=-. | ## User Location/Tagline Files Megabytes Avg k/s | |-=-------------------------------------------------------------------=-| <snip> [22] Aladin No Tagline Set 1,545 3,912MB 1739K/s [23] Codetapper No Tagline Set 10 3,150MB 131K/s [24] dirkies No Tagline Set 67 2,926MB 2717K/s [25] leeuw No Tagline Set 4 2,629MB 188K/s [26] Crashdisk No Tagline Set 60 2,397MB 110K/s [27] jarre No Tagline Set 5 2,072MB 608K/s [28] Sea7 No Tagline Set 17 2,003MB 47K/s [29] Peter No Tagline Set 3 1,868MB 58K/s [30] CodyJarrett No Tagline Set 2 1,568MB 2920K/s `-=-------------------------------------------------------------------=-' So I should at least be above [22]? My whole directory must be over 8GB... Do I not show as I'm an "EAB File Server" admin? Anyway, it's only stats, so not a big deal really... Last edited by DamienD; 04 November 2017 at 12:50. |

It only showed members from the eabuploader and you are eabadmin =)
It also only shows stats since I took over hosting the FTP. If you had an upload folder before that time, the stats are not counted. I've added you to eabuploader as well (should have no ill effects) so you'll show up now as well. Oh, and I'll explain the tagline thing. "No Tagline Set" means its an account that was created before the check towards the EAB Forums userbase. If you have a tagline, that is your actual username on the EAB Forums (verified). |

Or, is it that you just want to know who is downloading which files? And then publish this information for some reason? I'm not too lazy to create an account for a useful service, but this FTP seems to be at the home of EAB, or at least it is closely connected to it. Therefore i donot see the need to ask for another login. If you don't want non-members to download why allowing these in the first place? What amount of data is an 'anonymous' login usually downloading per average? More than these 50gigs? Last edited by Cylon; 04 November 2017 at 21:59. |

Wow, nice post there Cylon!!! Talk about gratitude towards Turran for:
a) Hosting at his own cost. b) Providing a solution to maximise speed for EAB members. c) Still providing alternatives for non EAB members. Quote:

Tell me, what is so important that I missed??? I got the gist of it
All is see is you being ungrateful / complaining and asking Turran multiple questions. Ok, let's wait for Turran's view on your post then... Quote:
Anyway, so now you're going to tell a GM what he can / cannot do. Not very smart, keep going... Last edited by DamienD; 04 November 2017 at 22:23. |

And you're ungrateful for the service that's being offered Cylon, if you don't like it or think there's room to moan and complain about this completely free service offered, maybe we should implement restrictions on ip addresses too so we can eliminate those who like to stir the pot

Well, I see the banhammer was struck, but I'll respond anyway since I do have reasons for all you've posted.
Quote:
To make a long story short, I found 2 issued that caused the slow downs (A RAID array and an old firewall rule). This gave everyone full speeds as much as the link and hardware could supply. Another problem then crept up. It was now using almost all bandwidth, or at least a large chunk of it as we could have as many as 40 anonymous FTP users and 60 registered accounts online at the same time (in reality, its only about 2-3 registered accounts online at a time, but 40 anonymous users were not unheard of.) The problem for you with slowdowns was, in reality, not fixed because it was STILL slow for you, only now it became a problem for me, using to many resources than I was willing to spare. In short, fixing the bottleneck led the FTP to use too much bandwidth. Sure, I have 1 GB up and down, but this is a consumer ISP I'm using and that much bandwidth 24/7 would have raised suspicions and I did not accept that. Since the original poll raised was about a lot of outsiders using the FTP that had nothing to with the EAB community, we essentially was too generous with the material on the FTP to people that had no "right" to it, or did not care about the community. And yes, everyone has a "right" to it. Don't get me wrong. But I'm hosting this FTP for the EAB members. Its EAB Members that contribute it to. That is what I mean by "right". I then changed the anonymous FTP account to 500k/sec download speed limit. The problem was also that the anonymous users often stayed on for days, leeching the whole 1.2TB for no reason. I wanted to stop that from happening. So how do you stop people from leeching the whole FTP and at the same time providing a better service for the EAB community? I did not want to start a shit storm, so I registered (and pay for) an unlimited google drive account and synced the whole 1.2TB to it (took days since the software is crap and I had to redo it multiple times). That, I thought, would allow the anonymous users who has no interest in the EAB community to grab the whole thing still and everyone would be happy. After doing that, I had the option to either delete the anonymous FTP account and force everyone to register their own account. You see, with glFTPd, the FTP server I use, the anonymous FTP user was flagged as "anonymous", giving it some restrictions. There are a very few things I can do. For example, I can not restrict how much they can download per week as I can with a registered account, so I opted to limit the account to 20Kb/sec at first. I thought I would keep it like that for a few days so that people would understand that it was worth it to register an account instead, but then opted to raise it to 50k/Sec instead. I also lowered the max logins for the anonymous FTP account from 40 to 20 and also changed num logins per IP from 2 to 1, so you could only log in once per IP, if anonymous. I had now stopped the "leech the whole site with an anonymous account" from the FTP (I thought). You still can from the google drive though. Quote:

I can give more specific traffic reports in the future for those interested, as traffic logging is now on again. Its now 17:03 and we are at 227.4G out so far today. Anyway, this turned out to be a novel. Last edited by Turran; 05 November 2017 at 17:03. Reason: Spelling errors. |
