View 3 RepliesI got a new server and at present it is not allowing resume of disconnected uploads. I remember on my last server I have to add a line on a config file to enable this but for the life of me I cannot remember.
Like this one the server has proftpd.
how can i enable upload resume on my server?
i am using PureFTPD 1.0.21
I'm using PUTTY SSH right now to a server, and it's taking forever to extracting a 500GB tar.gz file... I need to restart this workstation, is there anyway I can resume my PUTTY SSH session on another workstation without having to restart my extracting process?

Sometime around May I decided to have my website transfered over to zone.net as I outgrew Dreamhost.
Dreamhost, which now offers quite some cool setups (such as pimping up your server by additional ram etc), has kind of "chucked me" off due to excessive CPU use that was triggered by my Wordpress install (running WP-Cache of course).
I was told, I outgrew a shared environment and should opt to either switch to their (at this time) 360$/month plan or get another hosting provider. when asked what to get, I was told "a vps with plenty of ram".
I had a particular setup in mind and was thinking of either joining jaguar pc hosting or zone.net.
What I did like at zone.net at this point was the working live-support. I clicked "live support" - chat now and within seconds I was talking to someone who had a clue and cared about getting me to move over.
I opted zone.net as they promised to set-up my domain(s) in before of moving for free and making the transition happen without any downtime.
It worked this way, I sent my sql databases to them and uploaded a four gig rar-file to third-party server (always handy to have another one at hand). They downloaded everything and setup my VPS with CentOs, plesk and virtuozzo.
From my GoDaddy-domains I know there were plenty of discount codes around- as I couldnt find any for zone.net I blunty asked them if they had a promotion campaign running and if there was a zone.net discount code.
Their honest reply, which I appreciate, was "yes" and I was given the code to discount my setup and monthly fee by 10%. Seeing as I did not find any codes on Google, this was a good catch.
The transfer went smooth and the first weeks passed. Without any trouble, my site(s) ran smoothly, quicker than ever and with no downtime. Thanks to the watchdog module, that one employee installed, services that killed itself were automatically loaded again.
Ever since I moved my site to zone.net it has been growing prosperously with 15,000 visitors daily and increasing. Wordpress and WP-Cache are working smoothly, Permalinks with htaccess are operational, too.
When I had trouble setting up WP-Cache (at one point you have to run a shell command to create a sym-link file), their Live-support helped me out in seconds.
I really liked the free and high-quality support at zone.net and the polite, yet direct employees.
The advantage of "sticking" with a company with a dozen employees is that in due progress you get to know everyone and they get to know you. You dont have to explain your setup and problems all over again, as your setup is known and sending passwords over etc has become obsolete.
Amongst my domains are also two German denic (DE) domains, the setup of them is very annoying, as you have to observe all kinds of regulations (like specific TTL time), different class C ips etc. - zone.net has been so accommodating to setup those different C-class ips for free.
I am quite sure that I would have had to pay additional money at almost every other company.
At my VPS I had Plesk and CentOS running, what I did not know is that you SHOULD not (seriously!) try to update your VPS (plesk) manually.
I pressed "auto-update" under plesk, and the whole vps went into full-out lockup mode. zone.net´s experienced techies had the website up within minutes, but still plesk was unaccessible.
This was the case for a week roughly and I did not receive any email for one week. This really annoyed me, but who to blame? It was all my fault- if I had not played around with things it would not have locked up so bad (internal errors all over the place). I decided to wait one week for them to find a solution, as the website was up, I was earning good money with it (around 40$ a day) and I did not care about emails... since it was only a secondary email address.
yet I wanted to have my plesk back.- so one employee worked on my vps for two days in a row and tried all kinds of hacks. still I did not work. so without asking, and I appreciate that, they cloned my "running" site and setup another vps and routed all traffic over there. wow. I did not know this was technically possible!
anyway, I had my plesk back and every setting I had done, was input kindly by the zone.net tech-man. If I had to do this all myself I would have lost valuable time at university that (at this point) I did not have.
Just a few weeks ago I received an email saying that my vps (and basically) every VPS had to be moved, as zone.net had bought their own network or net of servers or datacenter, I cannot remember what it was, anyway... my vps had to be moved, meaning starting at "zero". A new vps was setup again, but since the ips changed, too I had to undergo the whole IPs annoyance with the german denic domains again.
luckily zone.net helped me out quickly and assured me things would work.
Indeed it did, the transfer went very smooth, as the old vps was not shutdown until the new one had been successfully "talking" with my nameserver.
Bad thing though was, that I lost several posts and comments, as in the meantime I was accessing (randomly) two different sites on different servers.
At one time, the old site loaded, the next hour the new one loaded and vice versa.
If you plan to transfer sites, you should not post anything and close comments. just as a matter of fact, that was my learning...
What I did not like about zone.net is that after the server move and in the meantime, they have seem to taken off the live-support. I loved to quickly address my problems and have them sorted out.
Now I have to reside to their (working!) ticket system, where I usually receive a reply within hours, but sometimes also days (but that´s my fault then again to not "bump" my tickets every now and then).
In general, I am very satisfied with the performance at zone.net, the level of support and the possibility of having almost EVERYTHING customized to my needs. I appreciate being a customer there, seriously! as soon as I experience something else, I will post it here, promised!
I have a problem in that I sell somewhat large download files, and Hostmonster told me their servers don't support 'resume'.
So if my customer has a power failure, etc., during the download, he'll have to start all over again.
So it looks like I'm going to have to move my download files to a different server.
Can anyone recommend a good host that will store my digital downloads and, that, most importantly, support 'resume'.
Just installing cPanel/WHM and its taking a little while, i am running under a SSH session.
I wished i had run it in screen now! If i close my SSH session the install will stop half way through which will not be good.
Is there anyway to pause the current process, and restart it in a screen session?
I've been trying in vain to find out how to download files from online sites directly to my server hosted with Siteground. Basically, I figure why bother downloading to my local HDD when I back everything up on my online server anyway.
I know this classes as a server to server file transfer but I want to download things like software, particularly Linux distros, and archive them directly on my server. I just can't think how to word it any other way. I use my browser and click the download link and it asks me to save it to my local HDD but instead I'd like to save it to my backup server bypassing my local comp totally.
Currently Siteground give me "unlimited" bandwidth and "unlimited" storage space, overselling obviously but now I want to use some of my space. My home upload speed it 20kb on average so this is why I'd rather upload/download/save interesting software etc onto my backup server.
I've looked briefly at WGET and CURL but it looks too complicated. I'd just like to be able to FTP all my 'normal' downloads right onto my server. I'd use an intermediary service for this as well as this backup is for non-private files only, if only I knew how to word the concept.
I just don't know how to search for the right tools or whatever for what I want to do.
I just want to add a "save to my server" option to my normal download dialog for want of a better description.
I'm starting a file download site. I've done a lot of research and I'm currently planning a head for growth and scaling. Looking to serve around 250-500 thousand 5MB files a day.
I would like some input from people that KNOW what they are talking about, hopefully people that have hosted/ran similar sites.
The main question I need answered is what will be the first bottle neck for a single download server will run into when delivering the following.
File size = 10MB.
Number of downloads = As many 1.2mbit download streams as possible.
Example Server, lets say...
Intel 5405
8GB Ram
2x640GB RE3 Hardware Raid 1
1000mbit
Am I correct in assuming the bottle neck will be the HD's here? So would I be right in assuming this could handle around 200 concurrent downloads @ 1.2mbit(250mbit)?
I've two shared hosting accounts, one is hostgator and other is godaddy.
I've uploaded a file (.flv) on hostgator and same file on godaddy.
here a link to both
Hostgator flv
Goddady flv
Now i am use a Download manager " free download manager" to download files
The hostgator file downloads at 17-35kb/s
The godaddy file downloads at 200kb/s
I am using 2Mbps dsl.
Also my hostgator cpanel loads slow. and other files are downloads at very low max 40kb/s.
What are the issues. I've contacted hostgator support and they say that every thing is ok on their end.
I have to stream videos on hostgator but the speed is too slow. and it buffers alot.
Which is the most important? CPU, Memory or others?
Which company provides the most cost-efficient download servers?
I'm running a remote dl site where user will request a file from various file sharing site like rapidshare and megaupload, and allow it to stream and dl. Few days ago everything was normal, but since yesterday all rar files download have corrupt name and sizes but when trying to extract it seems to be corrupted, zip files are running fine though.

Intel Core2Duo 6550
2x2 GB DDR2 RAM
2x500GB 15,000 RPM SCSI drives
Fedora Core 7
It's on a FDC Servers 1gbit connection with a 100mbit guarantee, their largest plan. I've used this plan (though with another server) before to push 241mbit/sec so there should be plenty of bandwidth.
The downloads will be anywhere from a few megabytes to CD sized downloads so there might be quite a bit of large files, mostly files will be around 20-50 megabytes though.
Basically I'd like a sort of rapidshare setup with two types of members, premium and non-premium.
Non-premium members should be limited to a certain speed across all connections but not necessarily limited to one connection only since Asia and Europe traffic have a hard time getting really good speeds without using several connections.
But I'd still like to be able to limit them at 4 connections or so, premium members should just be limited at some other value, that part shouldn't be the problem.
Currently I can limit the speed through the php script that checks if a user is premium but that limit only works per connection and not across all connections.
I'm looking for a software configuration setup, httpd etc. Hardware upgrade suggestions are also welcome for the future.
So far I'm thinking setting up two virtual hosts, one for premium and one for non-premium and then use mod_limitipconn.c. But maybe there's a better way without using apache?
to getting a second server, specifically for downloads for my site. Without going into too much detail, my website requires that I get a separate server for downloads, and another for the webserver.
I've already gone ahead and configured the server I want; however, I'm trying to do something different from what I'm used to. I'd like to use Lighttpd, instead of apache, as well as not having cPanel installed on the server. I'd still have cPanel and Apache on my regular webserver, but I'd rather keep my download server relatively clean.
So, once I get my server, and I install Lighttpd, how do I go about setting up everything so that my two servers can communicate? I'd like the download server to be something like: download.mydomain.com , so would I have to set up an A Hostname on my webserver?
What are the steps I should take?
My server is Fedora Linux. I access it via Putty using SSH.
I find it a pain to look through the logs using PICO since it won't scroll and I'm a slight linux mainly windows guy.
Is there a way to either copy the whole log at once over to notepad or something or to download the file to my local PC?
Then I could go through it much easier.
I tried using copy in putty but that only copies the screen and these logs can be huge sometimes.

I have a website, where i provide streaming videos. Recently i read somewhere that, streaming video or audio files increases server load a loot. Is providing direct download to files is a better option than streaming videos? Please let me know.

Recently our network of servers all started to prematurely disconnect in middle of data download. This can be download of pictures or files.
Eg: [url]
You'll notice on first go it only downloads +-5% of the images. Then you gotta keep pressing F5 many times for images to complete downloading.
Having attempted many solutions to correct this (so that it downloads data 100%), I though I ask on forums since there's always somewhere here that knows more then admins.
Would you please share any solutions that would solve this challange? Or any guidence on what to adjust.
SErvers specs:
Linux 2.6 kernel (latest)
Apache 2.0
My server (serving hosting) constantly keeps cutting out data download of files or pictures. So pictures usually load only 10%, then you need to keep pressing refresh to see whole picture.
As for downloads, I tested with a 8MB file. I downloaded with typical firefox browser and 1st time it claimed it finished downloading at 3MB mark. Second time at 1MB mark.
I have no idea how to fix this. Any solutions as to what to change or adjust in order to prevent this from happening?
Additional notes:
Server only supports php/static pages. It's limited to 150Mbits, and constantly wants to do more. But I can't lift now due to financial concerns.

I am tried to make a file to tell me the php info of my server, but I get the following error.

I have no idea how to enable or figure out why this is happening
I did disable some stuff in PHP configuration a while back because people were uploading c99 shells and whatnot on my box, so I'm not sure if that could be the issue.

I just got a VPSlink account about a month ago and for all testing purposes, it has been great so far [my first VPS]. But I haven't transferred my main site to it yet mainly due to one specific question about download speeds. Quickly, here's what I've found about their network...
VPSLink is owned by Spry, so from all I can tell, they're using the same network speeds. Which are:
Unmetered: 1.5 megabits per sec in total traffic.
Metered: Spry's site says "throughput of up to 8Mbps"
Ok, so here's what I'm trying to find out:
I'm running a small software business with some downloads (all legal of course - they're mine ) and would like to know what the real-world download speeds that users would normally see when downloading my files. Here are the knowns:
a) Let's assume for this question that all of the user computer's are on very quick connections, so their speed wouldn't be an issue.
b) An example file would be say, 20 MB.
I'm most looking to see how speeds would be (in Kbps) if say, 20 people are downloading a 20 MB file at the same time (again, with their connections being extremely fast; fast enough for the sake of this example to not be a factor - so the max speed would only depend on my VPSlink server's connection).
I don't know of a good way to really test this since I only have access to 1 physical connection. I did try a test with a friend. Here's what happened:
I normally get about 500-600kbps sustained on my cable modem, as does my friend. When downloading a test file on my server I was able to get about that when downloading all alone. But, when my friend and I downloaded it at the same time, both of us got around 350kbps -- so the total speed about dropped in half. Again since my site is for software downloads, and when releasing an update to one of our products, sometimes I'm guessing 20+ users download simultaneously for a couple days.
This currently seems to work ok on Dreamhost, but for many other reasons, we're needing a VPS. But would this vastly decrease our file transfer download speeds to users? If users got something horrible like 2kbps, that would most certainly loose a lot of business for us since they'd just get frustrated and cancel for the most part.
Does anyone know of a rough estimate on how to figure this out, or even better, are there any VPSLink customers out there that have experience with this?

I have been trying to enable server-wide compression using deflate.My server is running a fresh install of plesk panel 11 installed over a fresh centos 6 64. The configs and settings (aside from files I mention) have not been changed at all from default.
I have created a new file in /etc/httpf/conf.d/deflate.conf This file is being included when Apache is restarted, so that's definitely working and the html doc compresses. But not matter what I do (I have tried every combination Google would find) css and js files will not compress. At my previous workplace we also used a Plesk server and nobody could ever get compression working there either.
