The ftp mirror on videl was recently switched from vsftpd to proftpd. With this change, class-based bandwidth controls were added to help give preferential treatment to the UH campus and local Hawaiian ISPs.
The current bandwidth cap for unknown IP space is capped at 400kbps / 50KBps per IP. If your IP does not fall within the following netblocks, then your downloads will be penalized until you send me _privately_ your IP range. Public replies to this message containing requests will be ignored. 128.171.0.0/16 # UH 64.29.64.0/19 # netenterprise.com 64.65.64.0/18 # lava.net 66.180.128.0/19 # netenterprise.com 206.126.0.0/20 # flex.com 216.235.32.0/19 # oceanic.com -Vince PS. 400kbs is still a _lot_ of bandwidth for a single connection.
