I was asked to redesign one web site. Nothing much complicated. I've got username and pass to hosting provider. Now I can see the files of web site that are already there but how can I download them because only upload seems to be possible. And if so why is that so?

Ive been recieving some complaints/feedback that the download speed on my site is too slow.
I test it myself and at night i download at about 60k/s, late at night, mornings its around 300kb/s
Im guessing my site is basically getting high traffic and load issues in the evenings.
(average daily bandwidth is around 200-300gb)
So basically i need to rectify this pronto.
What are the possible solutions?
i thought if i bought a second cheaper server that could step in when the load gets too much for my primary server this could help out the speeds.
Am i correct, are there cheaper ways of speeding things up?
Has anybody ever come across a server problem, where the file is visited (e.g. domain.com/sub/file.html or domain.com/sub/file2.php) it attempts to download the file automatically as apposed to displaying the page?
See image after I visited a page!

I run a download website boasting many files (entirely legal, non-pornographic), the sizes of which range from 100KB to 500MB. Some users of the site seem to be complaining of the files not downloading and or being truncated (i.e: it says it has been downloaded even though it has not been fully downloaded.)
Here is one reply I received:
"No specific massage appears, only sign the download is complete and infact it is not. About 7 mega down loaded instead of 79 mega. I use fire fox browser and ADSL internet line speed 512"
All the files however do seem to download perfectly on my computer, though I have a good 8mb line, which leads me to believe it may be something to do with a timeout setting?
if it is possible to allow only one ip downloading files from a directory at a time.web server is apache , may be with some apache module or if there is some build in configuration can be applied to .htaccess .
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I download a file from my server, only specific extensions are working. This is really annoying since I want to be able to see how much time left to finish a download.
For example I uploaded a video with .vob extension
file.vob --> does not show filesize when downloading
If I rename the same file to different extension:
file.avi --> works fine shows filesize when downloading
file.mp3 --> works fine shows filesize when downloading
file.rar --> works fine shows filesize when downloading
file.mp4 --> does not show filesize when downloading
file.wmv --> does not show filesize when downloading
These are direct download links, not using any download scripts or anything. Why are some extensions displaying the filesize and some not displaying them? I am using Apache 2.x server.
i want a hosting where i can host about 50GB of mp3 files available to download for visitors. my budget is 5 to 6$ a month if paying anually,or 10$ a month if paying monthly (or every 3 monthes)
there are many hosts offering huge bandwidth for this range of price, but thier policy limits using most of this bandwidth for html only..
I have no download possibility on some computers from where I access internet, but I frequently need it.
Can I download files from the internet resource sites directly to a hosting server (just like on a PC)? Can I do it with SSH? What are minimum requirements? SSH on a shared hosting? VPS with root acces?
This is my 2nd server,i had a server with leaseweb and no probs wat so ever setting up utorrent on it.
Ive set it up on my 1%1 server but nothing is moving,ive tried random ports,ive tried turning the cisco firewall of on the 1&1 web page control pannel,but nothing moves wat so ever.
What have i missed here,theres no way they can block all ports...it says on there site all ports are avilible,but even if i picked a random port,and wasnt connectable it would still download just slow,any1 else with a 1&1 server had downloading probs with utorrnte.
I have a file in the directory of /backup I want to download a file from that directory to my PC, how would I do this.

Do we need to install any other softwares to do that?

I have a friend who we were debating about this.
He says he called up the internet company and upgraded his monthly plan to 60 gig or downloading a month, because he loves watching steaming videos(not youtube) im talking about actual movies.
They told him if he downloaded a 700mb movie or if he watched the exact same movie it would use up 700mb
So according to them downloading or streaming uses the same mb.
I found this hard to believe. But i have no wa of proving it.
What is the answer?
I would like a VPS so I may download my torrents on the VPS then ftp them home, I am with provider now but got told that's a not allowed to host "those" files.

I'm trying to download this 1 GB file on my Linux server CentOS. But its requiring me to enter a Captcha image which doesn't show up using Elinks or Lynx the two browser I tried.
Wget was my first thing that I tried but that wouldnt work since its impossible to enter the captcha using wget command.
So I need some help how should I download this to my server I'm on Slow DSL connection and it would take weeks to download 1 GB using my desktop and then reuploading it again to server using FTP.
On MY Desktop in Plesk 8.1, it shows:
Server Info

How/where can I download a windows program?
Do you download to Plesk, like you would to your own Desktop,
or do you upload to Plesk?
I'm trying to migrate my vps to another server, and basically I need to move the entire public_html directory from first server to the second. As its almost 2.5 gb, downloading and ftping isn't really an option, so I'm thinking i need to tar and then gzip it, and then somehow transfer it diectly.
so my question is what is the proper command to use for tar and gzip in this case? and what method to transfer. should i use wget or is there a better way. Once i have it on my destination server how do i untar it, and what path will it untar to?
I need a hosting with 5-10 GB Hard-drive Space and about 500 GB of bandwidth (maybe a bit less). Without any features (apache, php, etc). I need only Ftp to upload and share video files.But not very expensive, not more than $10-$20.

I have a downloads site where most of the content are .zip and .rar files. I use about 300GB/month of bandwith, and it's growing a lot so I decided to move the files to a file-based hosting.
So, I'm looking for a service like Rapidshare, Megaupload... in their premium accounts. I need:
· About 300GB of monthly bandwith or more.
· About 5GB of hard disk space.
The main purpose is to share files, so I don't need any database, php support or any other thing... just file sharing.
I want to spend about 100€/120$ on it every year.
I was thinking on an "unlimited" hosting as HostGator, but the ToS of must of them says it's not allowed to use it as a file sharing account.
i am confused which one is better VPS or Dedi ? my budget is very low under $25-20 / Month , I saw some dedi offers for $30/month from prontoserver i think is that Good?
or Go with a VPS? i need 60GB and 400GB of bw so what is the best thing?
I have a customer who wants to sell access to videos of conferences he runs.
Each flv vid is approx 1 - 1 1/2 hors long approx 380MB each and there will be about 12 videos per conference.
approx 4 - 8 conferences per year.
My customer suggests 10 - 20 people will buy access to watch each video.
Access to watch the videos will be through a password protected webpage.
issue - the current site hosting company only allow uploads up to 150MB per file.
Can I host the flash videos elsewhere and deliver them through the password protected web page without anyone else being able to see them via server they are hosted on?
This would also reduce the bandwidth going through his current site server.
A friend of mine has an account with a hosting company that recently became unstable and he wants to move his site away.
I downloaded the files, but it now seems impossible to download the databases in the conventional ways.
I tried downloading them using their control panel (vDeck) but I get an error "File Permissions do not allow to download backup".
Then I tried to export it using PHPMyAdmin but the files either doesn't download at all, or it downloads inccomplete with the last lines having something like the following:
Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/local/apache/htdocs/phpMyAdmin-2.6.3/export.php:121
I tried to contact their support but they have no clue.
Is there any way to download the database? I thought of creating a script that would manually itterate through the tables and create an export fie similar to what phpMyAdmin creates. I don't know if this is possible, and I hope there are better ways.

but i don't think they are going to work with my project so... i searched for a vps to start my project ..., and im thinking in dedicated server in the future..,so let's not talk about the future right now!

CPU Limit : Equal Share
Guranteed Memory : 512 MB

View 13 Replies View RelatedI am using a flash media player on one of my domains that streams music. The flash player would be like domain.com/music
The mp3 files are located in domain.com/music/mp3
The flash player just reads the title of the song and displays it in the media player.
I have used htaccess already to disable indexing, but the file name that shows on the media player is the exact name of the mp3, so I'm pretty sure people will be able to easily figure this out and start downloading our music.
What else can I add to htaccess to allow localhost access to the music, to stream with the flash player, but wont allow downloading of the mp3s.
