Does anyone know of a decent tool to transfer files from a public FTP to my FTP? I have really slow internet (0.010Mb, slower than 99% of England). Need to transfer FTP to FTP.
It's for ET MOVIES =]

If I remember I will post it.
(though it seems to be pretty outdone now by smart ftp so might not be worth checking)
Anyway, filezilla is a really great client if you forget about it's password storage (none encrypted logins). Besides that WinSCP is very nice as well.
My server hosts important files and websites for a few organisations and me losing that would be bad for them.
What server do you have anyway, a dedi?
E.g. ask beggin (owner http://www.sanfranciscoandroid.co.uk/) or homiee (who is currently hosting ~10GB of university stuff).
Actually the first year I didn't sell anything.. just used it for my own stuff + gave it away for free to friends. Some months ago I decided to start selling (for very cheap prices.. cheap > nothing) since I won't use all the resources on my own anyway.
I'm just curious, what do you get & what do you pay?
Their standard hosting (including reseller) offer unlimited disk space and bandwidth at around £3.40 per month. Includes cPanel also, a great bargain considering it's been up 100%.
However, umlimited isn't really unlimited in 99% of hosters. They will limit your download speed for example. Also there is the question about backups & stuff.. is your data still there in case of a HDD crash?
Unlimited disk space & traffic for 3.40 surely isn't real. Also check there Terms & Conditions.. I bet they "allow" theirself to quit any customer whenever they want. So if you exceed the disc space / traffic they will just cancel your contract. But I guess as long as you won't use 500GB + disc space and 5GB traffic nothing will happen :P
I have a friend who's on the standard hosting package (website), and he hasn't been limited yet (so he says), he's the type of person to fill his space with junk :P.
And yes backups are done daily, I had to use one as I messed some shit up and they restored it for me :P. I wasn't going to upload another 8GB worth of data on a < 1mb connection :P.
So actually they could kick you for everything :P But then again.. I think pretty much every hoster has such terms & policy.. the question is if they make use of it. Also found some weird things about them.. some people also wrote that when they did some research about that hoster that they found faked reviews and very mixed true reviews. But anyway, if you have a friend there who is using a lot of the resources and still everything is working for him then yours should be fine too ;D
A funny thing tho (found in some forum):
A guy working in a big datacenter + owning a hosting company said that their prices (unlimitedwebhosting) and their "unlimited plans" are so cheap that he could get rid of all his dedicated servers (which his hosting company and the datacenter are using) and just buy services from unlimitedwebhosting.co.uk and resell them. Would give him more profit. Then he made clear that unlimited surely isn't unlimited and that there are fair limitations for the price. Else unlimitedwebhosting.co.uk wouldn't be able to exist :P
Ever thought about getting a dedicated server together with your friends? More secure & might be cheaper (no I'm not selling them :P).
I do agree though, unlimited doesn't exist, but from what I use, I don't think I'll be having any problems.
I have to give them a 10/10 for their support, they answer within 2minutes of submitting a ticket, and fix it on the spot (if there's a problem). I even had to contact them on new years, they still responded and fixed the problem in seconds.
They do take their rules seriously as they've been arguing about hosting the movies from SWERTCW, they say that it's against T&C to just host files.. I can't seem to find this anywhere in the T&C's.
Ah ye there you go.. as soon as it comes to big sites & lots of traffic & disc space they use their T&C :P But ye for small project you will be just fine :)
I wonder, who wants to host swertcw? I already wanted to host it & get the domain a few months ago.. as well as the rtcw.jolt.co.uk website.
Cheers.
oh wait :)
