lol i get like 5mb (or is it 50mb?) with NTL. Sucks as its only plain HTML, no php or anything.
why not host your own?
Against the TOS and they block the ports
Tos?
terms of service? With who, your isp?
TOS usually stands for Terms of Service.
yeah my ISP
Theres ways around that ya know ;)
Not when the ports are blocked at the ISP's main router at the telephone exchange...
oh, ic... What the hell is your isp's problem?
We have no download cap (most other ISPs have 1-30gb per month) and have speeds of up to 10mb so i think they need it or else it will be abused
ahh icic.. how much do you usually have to pay for Internet service each month?
They provide our TV and phone (both cellphone and home) too so we get a package deal.
2mb on its own is like £18 per month ($35ish)
10-20mb (20mb is only some areas) on its own is £37 per month ($75ish)

the 2mb package including TV, home phone and cellphone is £40 per month ($80ish)

I never knew my isp had a cap, but when I downloaded about 13 gb of linux distros, movies, and videos in one day ;-), the next day my internet connection was at about 5 kb for the rest of the month.
haha.. yea, they called us once.. They are always complaining b/c I run a TOR server, and you can only imagine the kinda of traffic that is associated with it.. They've only limited my dl speed once so far though.
lol well i downloaded the entire contents of ftp.uk.debian.org so i could make my own apt mirror for my LAN and they didnt care
omg lol....thats like over 200 gb right?
yes but if you just do the main sections for the x86 architechture then its less
how did you update it?
I use a script which runs as a cron job. It uses wget to update my mirror with packages when the version number is higher
pretty sweet. Is that how most debian servers work? how about new packages?
yeah I think that proper mirrors use Rsync to pick up the new pakages and versions but i couldnt get that working.
