I'm sure some of you remember, but I was running a fills ftp server up until about 1 year ago when my bandwidth was slashed by Comcast. Comcast is now offering tiered service, which means that for a few dollars more I have regained the opportunity to share fills.

I have set up an experimental server here:
ftp oblio.dyndns.org
user parts
pass parts

pretty much the same as before... 4kB throttle, 5 users at a time. Most likely just posting this information will get me the test data I need. ^_^

========

Now, a quick comment: I'm not sure if I will provide this service long-term or not yet. I'm of half a mind that it is of little use with ABMAR and pars. I was always of the thought that it was important to minimize garbage bandwidth on the anime groups, but in the last year we have certainly seen plenty of that garbage and things seem to be ok.

Plus, I'm not sure that incomplete posts are really a problem anymore (except for those shit posts that never get out of Rogers).

So anyway, I'm considering using the bandwidth to host whole AVIs... I just haven't decided yet.
