Hi,

Is there a script where people can upload or download files to my websites?

Something like rapidshare.com.

I got 1200G bandwith I want to waste.

Also, what happen if some ******* upload child porn? Do I have to watch the script regularly?

Or what about if somebody post an illegal or copyrighted material? I am concern if my whole server gets banned by managed.com

What else are good ways to waste that 1200G bandiwth?

What else are good ways to waste that 1200G bandiwth?Create a download mirror for some free/open source software? :)

Hmm... Great idea. What should I put first?

There are lots of download and upload scripts available for use. Check out hotscripts.com.

Anything placed on your server, you are responsable for. :)

Did you find uploading/downloading files the only way to waste your bandwidth, how about the day when it exceeds the limited bandwidth?

I am concern if I allow people to freely upload or download files, they put child porn or copyrighted material there. I mean the server has many other important domains that produce a lot of money.

Perhaps you can become a CentOs mirror? :)

Im not sure why you would do anything that could potentially impact the performance and service levels you are providing to your paid customers. Have you considered simply adding a few more paying customers to that server (since you seem to have bandwith and CPU to burn) ?

I just dont see why you would risk any performance or uptime to paid customers just to burn through bandwith ???

I just dont see why you would risk any performance or uptime to paid customers just to burn through bandwith ???He doesn't have to bring it to the level where it hurts the server's overall performance. Can't those downloads be throttled somehow? Besides, pure downloads don't tax the server much.

Personally, I didn't think of huge packages like the linux distros are. :)

He can install something like lighttpd to serve the downloads which should reduce load.

Yea, I have 1200 G bandwith per month, I use like 10G per month.

I mean, I would love to put hentai cartoon or movie there but it would violate copy right right ;)

What about movies whose copyright has expired?

Fair enough, but, there original question was:

Is there a script where people can upload or download files to my websites?....


lso, what happen if some ******* upload child porn? Do I have to watch the script regularly?

If youre just making scripts available for download, thats one thing - but, allowing people to upload files, etc - can certainly cause issues...

I just dont think the risk is worth it on a business server...

obviously its there server, so, their choice..

Just my $0.02

The original question was updated though. :)

What about movies whose copyright has expired?Those would be really old movies. If I recall correctly, copyright lasts for close to 100 years.
