Michael,
I wanted to say thanks for the service you provide for all of us.  I use 
ftp.ale.org for SUSE security updates all the time,
and occasionally for software installation sources for Yast2 in SUSE.  
I'd love to see the pub/projects/Mozilla directories
on the ftp.suse.com server mirrored on ftp.ale.org sometime if that is 
possible.
Merry Christmas,
Dow

&gt;I instituted a new max user limit on the ftp daemon on ftp.ale.org.  I
&gt;did this because it's the .iso downloads that are really taking up the
&gt;most bandwidth.  I also redirect .isos on the http port to the ftp
&gt;port so that all .isos will go over ftp.
&gt;
&gt;I think this will increase the overall transfer rate at which people
&gt;download on the server given that they can connect to it in the first
&gt;place via ftp (I got over 1mbyte/s or 1000kb/s on my work connection).
&gt; I've already noticed that it does sit at about the max users on ftp,
&gt;but also hovers close to the rate cap on it.
&gt;
&gt;Overall http transfers are real fast and if you're patient ftp
&gt;transfers are really fast as well.
&gt;
&gt;I will continue to keep an eye on it to see if I can raise the max users
again.
