We moved to the new host already, but we're waiting for the root DNSs to update their name records to our new IP address.
We're on a 100Mbit ethernet line that's shared between about 20 other servers. I am told that this line will be replaced in 2-3 weeks with an OC3 straight down to Manhatten and to the net. That will be fast enough for our current user base.
There's a difference between "junk" and just plain stupid. Without the 1 Mb file limit (which might actually be too high IMO) our system would be completely abused by warez junkies. Think of it - if they found a way to get multiple accounts, they could have unlimited bandwidth. With no file size limit they'd have every reason to use up the free 400 MB, then move on to their other accounts. This isn't an ideal world, there's no system that works for everybody. I understand you might want to store an mp3 or video on there (potentially chewing your 400 MB VERY quickly), but cuz of theives unlimited file sizes won't work.
Keep in mind that we give out shell accounts, so it's still VERY easy to get past the FTP file size protection. Don't do it though, we fight with brute force and have a script that just goes around deleting unauthorized files - files larger than 1MB on accounts that have never had a balance greater than a buck.
P.S. I really enjoy the optimism in this forum (or this thread at least). </sarcasm> Such bitter hatred... At the very worst, we tried to provide a free service to you guys and THUS FAR have failed (we're not giving up yet!). It's like giving a homeless man a can of soup and accidently giving him food poisoning...wait..no...aw shit!
