I'm getting allot of Time Outs... Particularly file transfers that only for for few seconds.

Whats the recommended period to set ??

Is there any reason why FTP client would just disconnect you with "(530) Sorry, your maximum number of connections from this IP (2) has been reached."

When it fact, its not..

I am only using 1 connection at all times, yet i occasionally see the above

Why would this be..... ?

If you loose connection and reconnect, you can get that as it takes a few seconds for the FTP server to drop the connection. You probably drop out and the FTP client reconnects without you noticing. Bad line perhaps.

Or you are on a school network or something which shares the external IP and there is already someone else there connected to the FTP with 2 connections...
If the above is true, you can fix it by setting up an upload account and logging in with that instead of the "ftp" user. Then you get your own 2 connections. See first post if that is the case.

Adding the TOSEC ISO collection to the FTP.

Is there space enough on the file server to add the TOSEC ISO Collection (atm 320 gigs and growing)?
Some ISO's won't be uploaded as they're still being sold commercially/restricted by EAB fileserver policies.

[Turran]

There is space, but those can be downloaded from TOSEC directly, no? I see no real reason to have it on the FTP, or is it just me?

Or perhaps that will allow a cleanup of the old TOSEC stuff. I think its a mess at the moment, heh.

In the end, I only provide the FTP. Its not up to me what is on it =)

[TCD]

I wanted to hear if there's enough space first

TOSEC ISO can only be obtained via torrent I think (or does archive.org have them?) In that case I'd say having them on the file server would be a good idea

TOSEC has no official server open to the public, so yes that would be interesting. By cons, there is a big cleaning to do on the server

In that case, yepp. Another 1.5 TB can be provided to EAB without costing me anything =)

it will reserve ~318gb of space for all TOSEC iSO

Is there any chance to have an updated version of the Amiga TOSEC on the EAB FTP?

I know the fixes are on there, but I'd need to download the entire TOSEC to apply the fixes locally on my PC, right?

[tomse]

ok I seem to have gotten my answer thanks :-)

Thalion and I will start upping to our respective users folder, when we're done I'll write here again so they can be moved into the correct place.

yes indeed and with time, it becomes a heavy task...

[tomse]

My guess is that some of the torrent guys will add them to the torrent sites, when that happens, load on the FTP server won't be as grand.

True, especially if you need only a few ADFs each time

Thanks in advance to tomse and Thalion for uploading the lot

You're welcome :-)

[DannyBoy]

On a sidenote: Mirror also has more than enough of free disk space for TOSEC :-)

AmigaCD section is finished. with a few exceptions of course.

[TCD]

I've moved them over to the main area. I've merged them with the other folders, but I could put them into separate folders if that is preferred.
