u can check ur hdd using ftp client.
Remember u need HD space for the OS and its system files..
ftp takes a lot of time to check it, but i think the system file takes some space and it's really not 20GB to start with, more like 18.x something
so I guess you end up with 16-17GB

1KB is not 1,000 its 1,024
1MB is not 1,000,000 its 1,048,576
1GB is not 1,000,000,000 its 1,073,741,824
so 20GB is 1,073,741,824 * 20 = 21,474,836,480
But they are not giving you 21.4 GBs they are giving you 20 so..
20,000,000,000 / 1,073,741,824 = 18.6GB
On my leeware account, i know that i have 16.5 GB for torrents
My torrents are stuck around 15-16 gb, got msg disk full.
So people should really think about this before getting leeware. 20GB is really small let alone 16GB.
Then again, you get what you pay for. LEeware is excellent for the cost. 16GB is over 3 DVDRs, it's enough for me at least.Quote:

It costs like $40Quote:

Yeh, with 384MB of ram, you can have :
- 20GB for 20$
- 30GB for 35$
- 40GB for 40$
The last one isn't available yet, but when i asked Lee for HDD upgrade he said :
Quote:
I have a plan that will be released soon that will allow you to purchase 40GB of space for $40/month.
But, except if you absolutly need the 40GB on an unique server, you should take two 20GB, so you will have the same space but with two VPS (2 x bandwih, 2 x proc , 2 x ram....)
Very true, but I think what he meant is HDD alone costs $40 in addition to the $20 you pay for the VPSQuote:
