Re: ppc geeks download?

Add Cox to that list of ISPs that are dropping DLs anywhere between 10% and 70%

Re: ppc geeks download?

seems to be whatever you can get between 4 and 5 mins and thats it

Re: ppc geeks download?

I moved this to the Site News forum since it affects more than just Vogue users lol.

OMJ also said he's been having issues uploading to the FTP...not sure what ISP he has.

Re: ppc geeks download?

Thanks Frosty, here's what is happening so far (my most recent message to them is on top.) It's not looking good:

How is it that all ISPs just suddenly decided TOGETHER that they were going to throttle ONLY FTP? Did the ISPs hold a secret meeting where they said, "Let's screw our users?" I have to believe that, as opposed to every ISP in the world scheming against it's customers, MAYBE Dreamhost is actually the ones having a problem. Please look into it. If anonymous FTP isn't going to work with you guys, then there is no sense using your service.

Sorry to hear about your continued FTP issues. We have posted an update
this morning that many other ISPs are in the pool now, unfortunately.

Anon ftp can't use SFTP as that would require a login. What you want to
try is toggling between passive and active mode to see which one works
better with the download. Those using our anon ftp service will also need
to make sure that their client doesn't have a time out limit or any size
limit.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks!
Andrea

I sent in a request yesterday that I still have had no response to. If I have to turn on sftp, then I want to confirm something first. Will those people who are NOT on the ISPs that are throttling have to switch to an sftp connection, or will they be able to use a standard ftp connection still? Will switching to sftp have any affect on my anonymous FTP setup other than people having the additional option of connecting to sftp and ftp?

Subject: FTP Connections dropped on anonymous FTP
I have anonymous FTP setup at up.ppcgeeks.com. Our downloads keep dropping while downloading large files, for example a 50 MB file quits after 5-20 MB. This is happening across multiple providers, and I have personally tested via Qwest. I don't want to setup sftp as this is an anonymous FTP, so what can we do to make this work?

So, if those users having problems could set their connections to active and let me know the results, I'd appreciate it. Aaaarrrrgggghhhh, I hate Dreamhost!

Re: ppc geeks download?

this looks like the issue is at dreamhost end. what d bags over there, they update to only mess things up more. anywaysl how do you set your connection to active?

Re: ppc geeks download?

I have a T1 connection at work, with Windows 2003. It runs our company's website. I could setup FTP and we could *try* to copy files over (if we can download them somehow).

The only problem I would have with that is that I might have to throttle download speeds. I wouldn't want the FTP taking up all of our bandwidth and make our internet connection crawl lol.

Re: ppc geeks download?

I've tried various combinations of settings w/ my ftp client.......none make a difference, connection still drops within a few mins....

Re: ppc geeks download?

It HAS to be Dreamhost. I could see one provider throttling, but not all of them deciding to within the span of 2 days. Now, if THEY would just see how obvious it is that this is their problem and fix it.

Re: ppc geeks download?

exactly! typical provider not wanting to acknowledge a problem
