I was looking around and I realised, "why should I pay someone else for a file server when I have 600GB of storage and a Dual-2GHz Powermac?"
So, I've kind of dabbled with FTP sharing before - but I was dogged with very very slow transfer speeds. An average of about 4kbps, maxing out at about 15kbps.
I'm assuming this is down to my ISP? Does anyone know what good UK ISP's there are with excellent upload speeds? I'm on NTL at the moment, which is obviously consumer oriented...
Also, what kind of server-side stuff should I do? I'd love to be able to set up a webserver? Would that allow me to run my own website? I guess I'd just need to set up a domain?
Cheers!
