Anyone Still Uses Ftp Servers?

[ReZ]

1993 & > Underground BBS took over and sysadmins ruled the world

1995 - 1998,9 Public hacked FTP servers began to flourish spreading warez from small warez teams (D.O.D - CLASS - SWAT...) to couriers and to public throughout the IRC network.

2000 - 2002 Many warez targeted web sites were created, distributing the most popular files at the moment. IRC servers still packed with many downloaders. Warez groups starting to get busted and fade away.

2002 - 2003 The generation K++. Many novice and intermediate downloaders began to collect songs, movies and even full version programs/games. FTPs starting to fade away. IRC still at the same level.

Now (Mid September 2003), what do you think is going to happen to public and private FTP file servers?

They're gonna be used like right now, to distribute files legally, or "hacked" to distribute files illegaly (until the ftp admim notices the hack)...

i.e.Many sites use ftp servers to distribute files like patches, freewares, demos...

Nothings changed there a literaly thousands of ftp's with warez on them right now, Alot of the time the speed is far better than bittorent and other p2p programs.

Welcome. xFTPx is a live FTP center that posts public and private servers containing cool stuff like shareware, freeware, music, graphics, etc[/quote]


So no ftp server and dl of your own..?

And still wanna charge money ??

Looks like a comercial interest again. Sorry to see that Yorez.

public/private ftp servers will linger for a long time. The incur less overhead than a webserver due to a lighter protocol.

I have several ftp servers (all legal of course) out on the net.

ah Nemo, i forgot to add the edit by line... i changed the link to the site to be honest.. 1st of all no DDL are allowed which ftp is imo and 2nd the paying (comercial interest)...
Although i have to admit there is a "light" version possible which don&#39;t need to be paid for it gives me the impression it&#39;s ment to be comercial advertising.

finding warez on an ftp site is quite tedious so i just use kazaa, soulseek, and irc. but when im downloading an update for a prog i have, 99% of the time its from an ftp server.
