BT Dedicated Server/Seedbox

[joyntkid]

i have a bestofdata server, and i've easily transfered over 2TB maybe even 3TB in my first month.
i still have it. i'm into my second month now, will let you know how it goes.

XP Pro? i didn't even know that was an option, or why you would want it.
2003 server web edition is good enough, i might even switch to Fedora and gain 160GB for the same price as windows once i learn it better.

Hmm, I've got a problem with leeware server. Speeds are really low when downloading directly from Leeware VPS server to my home computer.

I've got a 12Mbps ADSL and still I'm only downloading from leeware @ 20-60kB/s.

First I used SFTP, which was as low as now FTP. I installed vsftpd and configured it fine but speeds are this sucky.

This just isn't acceptable, it takes forever to download a >4GB image from there...

does anyone else have this kind of problem?

Does anyone know if there is some workaround this?

FTP is ungodly slow for me as well. I figured it might be because I was using SFTP, which has to route through SSH, but you installed another ftp daemon and it was still slow, so I'm not sure.

Try a ftp client that has multi download capabilities, ie Filezilla. So instead of 1 download connection downloading at 50KB, you can have 5 downloading at a total of 250 for example.

Yeah, thats what I suggest, I can only do about 200kb/s through 1 connection with my lw box. If I put it on 4 connections, it maxes my 4mbit out.

If you have very slow downloads when FTP'ing large *.iso or *.avi files and muti-part downloading doesn't work within your client then here's a way to speed up your downloads using Lxsplit (HJsplit compatible).

1. Log into your machine using putty
2. Type wget http://www.freebyte.com/download/lxsplit.tar.gz
3. Type tar xzf lxsplit.tar.gz
4. Type cd /root/lxsplit-0.1.1
5. Type make
6. Type make install

You have now successfully installed Lxsplit. To use lxsplit you cd to the directory your large file is located and split. So if that large file is in root then you would type cd /root in putty. To split the file into 10MB pieces you would issue the follow command lxsplit -s largeassfile.iso 10M. Now just set your max concurrent transfers in your FTP client to something like 20 or more and download all the .001, .002, etc files.

To join the files back together HJSplit (google it) and join the file.

Leecher: That's a nice suggestion. Though it's too much hassle for me to split the files So I just downloaded SmartFTP which handles multipart downloading just fine. Haven't tested it on leeware yet, though. Hopefully it speeds things up.
