Hi

I'd like to start serving / mirroring some shows using my dsl
connection, and it boils down to a list of checkpoints before I point
the firewall in the right direction.  Any comments are welcome - the FAQ
is pretty sparse and I've scanned the archives...

1]  Security.   Originally I was gonna use the old P90 rh5.2 box in the
corner until I tested how insecure it was.  My main box is now running
OS X, so I figured I'd install NCFTP and run on the 3 user personal
license.  So far so good,  There is no telnet access through the f/w
from the outside ... and I'm *almost* certain no one can launch a telnet
session through a shell via their ftp connection.  any known weaknesses
here?

2] Scripts.  All etree admins are adamant about NOOP Keepalive and
hammering,  Any turnkey guard dogs?

3] a humble subdomain within the .etree.org  or  dyndns.org  for my
sticky DHCP IP?  This is something I can do once I start the research,
but known shortcuts are what I'm looking for.

4] a reasonable download speed cap if I still want to use my 512d /
128u   adsl.

5] Mirroring ... I guess we all got our .shns from someone else, but I
was wondering if it's considered a friendly act to mirror a show someone
else has put up recently.  Basically I'm doing this because I've only
been able to get into 3 servers in 3 weeks, the demand far outweighs the
bandwidth for this stuff.

And fwiw, I don't use Toast anymore since OS X.  I do all my burning
with iTunes
