Eldred shares classic racing videos online

Eldred posted links to classic racing videos including Goodwood 2003, a 1951 European legends programme and Spa 1958. The downloads failed under demand, which he blamed on Microsoft's IIS FTP server. Others suggested BitTorrent, Apache or Linux, and Uwe Schuerkamp offered to help set up a Linux server.

You'd probably be way better off putting the files on a server rather than on an FTP. I"m pretty sure FTP by default only allows a small number of connections (hence the files not appearing for many people). Not the fault of microsoft.. just something that should be on an html server like apache of even the IIS server instead of an anon FTP.

I said it was MS's fault because that's the application that keeps crashing. How would it work being on an HTML server - wouldn't that still be FTP? I guess I simply don't understand what you mean. I know *nothing* about Apache, despite the efforts of Uwe to to assimilate me...<g> Eldred -- .sig file is at the cleaners... Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPLRank -2.4 N2k3 rank ?

Depends on the ftp server, tho you can surely configure the allowed number of simultaneous anonymous connections. In any case, I'm not sure using a file transfer protocol to transfer files is a bad alternative to a protocol designed for transmitting hypertext. =p Jason
I'm just suggestion the whole html server thing because I know several people that serve large files to a lot of people by using Apache. I also know a lot of people that do successfully use Bulletproof FTP to distribute a lot of big files too.. But only to a small amount of people, 1 at a time. Either way, the videos are great.. mcuh appreciated.

Don't worry Eldred, my machine is officially unsupported to run OS X as well, but it runs just fine thanks to a free program called XPostFacto.

And may I offer my services free of charge again to help you set up and maintain a Linux box (preferably Gentoo) whereever you happen to host these great services? ;-) You could do the basic install and once you have a net connection I could help you secure the box and so on.

This newsgroup is being archived ;-) Right now if you plan to do web publishing I'd try to push you into using Zope (which also happens to have a full blown ftp-server should you need it).

Well although OS X runs on old(er) hardware that doesn't quite include machines which could go right into my computer antiques collection ;) It's got to be a PCI Mac, I'm afraid. A G3 card, well, I once picked up one for about $ 10, but in the US something like $ 30 - $ 90 would probably be more common, depending on the model. (Although it runs fine, it's got only one big drawback: no GPL... 8( That's why i had to buy this Repentium machine <sigh> otherwise I wouldn't go near these things.. Well, maybe if they ran Linux or NeXTStep. Which reminds me, if you can get an old copy of THAT for the pc, you actually have the precursor of MacOS X.) >><ducks & runs> > Now, where did he go...?

Yep, it's similar to RW, but also has a Linux *client* (GASP!) and much better audio quality than either RW or Paltalk.
