Re: [qmailtoaster] QMT-ISO and download speed

[Alberto Guzzetti]

Thanks for the reply Jake. Your job is great and for sure i don't want to blame on you.  It was just a simple request, I will see what i can do. For the donate i can understand you well I've a site that provide free online RPG (role playing game) by browser from agoust 2001 and in 9 years i haven't recive a single donation even if the donate button is pretty much visible and it cost me money too running that site. The point is i think it's something we do for passion. Anyway i don't want to go Out of Topic that was just a note. Regards.

I've already limited the bandwidth since downloads BURIED a 3M connection, but then I started to get complaints from users who were unable to download the software or it was very slow. I started to investigate and saw that cerain users (such as IP 61.7.216.10) were opening 20+ download sessions. I've installed a module to limit the number of downloads per IP address now, so hopefully this should solve the problem caused by some crap-heads out there. Okay, It's pretty understandable what you did but actually the download speed is: 9.5-13.8 KB/sec this is lower then an old 56K modem. For downloading 569 MB it take 1 day and X hours. So the "have a working mail server in about 30 minutes." it's pretty much a fake. Any chance to have a better download speed, please? If you pay for the download of CentQMT5 you will get a better download speed. I've throttled the speed on the free download of QMTISO. If you get a really slow speed, it's because other people are downloading it at the same time. I throttled the total bandwidth used, not on a per-IP basis. Since the free version averages 10+ downloads per day, the server sees a lot of traffic. They're 700M files, remember. I'm sending this email 3 hours after you sent yours and I see 7 people downloading the thing right now. I understand your frustration, and since I put Qmailtoaster on Sourceforge a week or so ago (at least I registered it) I may move the ISO over there to use their bandwidth. Otherwise I'm going to drop the whole free ISO download. It's been downloaded 13879 times (that's 9715300M worth of downloads) and not one single person has ever hit the donate button or gotten me anything off of the Amazon list (for those that didn't want to donate money). It does cost me money to run things like this - and the ISO is a big sink due to bandwidth. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Managed Qmailtoaster servers are now available Visit http://qmailtoaster.com/QMTManaged.html to order yours today!
