Stuart Jones Just an FYI... IF you are hosting an FTP with direct access there are few dangers that you will run into:
(Of course you are doing anything you want i just want to point out some things)
1. Since it is direct access you'll put your machine out danger. (There are always some people who want to break things like this)
2. You will be easily reported to your ISP that you are providing public illegal stuff(There is always some idiot or pretended "paladins" in the crowd who will report your ip and make things burn just becouse they like to do stuffs like this. And lets face it: the most part the emulators are not always legal... and then there is those people who reporting you becouse they dont want you to share things like this... (EG: they want to make money from a script, and they are feeling endangered becouse you making those scripts public... and they will loose money and cannot ripoff other peoples becouse of you... there is examples in this site of the past, for example: Black Desert, Travian, Ace Online, ect ect... they will make some POS thing that will break your server) in that way; you are endangering your own IP adress... and location in real world... This site is public, so you can BET that there is some scammers, idiots and evil and greedy persons in the crowd too who are always a party pooper...
3. If you dont have industrial like internet and you put out your server full with useful stuff that will intrest MANY people, the max 2 user connection will cause that your idea of uploading and sharing will fail... either becouse your internet will be slow, *or* the people will loose intrest to stand in an endless queue to download something...(Better solution would be a torrent site...)
Think about it: the effort what you want is good, i approve it too... but direct download in this case it not so good idea. Of Course; it is your life, just telling.
Also, the link upload to public file hosts in 230 GB case will be a bad idea too... it will not work for long, becouse the people will report your links... or make the files erase from public file sharers... the only solution in larger projects/files the torrents/magnets... those are the only things that cannot be make erased, but in that case you should use a vpn too or a proxy...
There is a reason that peoples are not making public ftp's for this site stuffs... Or if they do it is just temporal... I am truly love your idea of the public FTP, i am considering that i will make a torrent collection about this somehow/sometime, but not direct access.
