content: There is still a lot of sorting to do but anything you want to upload will come in handy for people to access. I might make a torrent file once I have sorted everything out, but it is setup so you can use a program like htttrack and download the entire lot without captchas or any limits.

Server has about 10 TB of bandwidth and i'm only using about 4-6 TB each month.

content: I posted it on a public forum so I couldn't stop you if you did.I'd prefer it to not be a link so that it wouldn't be indexed by google so easily ... and because i plan to move the content around on the ftp server , arrange it differently, some other folder structure, remove duplicates etc ..broken links really annoy me

content: Thanks mariush - I see you have mirrored my site. I still have a lot of sorting to do such as seperating schematics from repair manuals etc. I was thinking of hosting service manuals for all devices but it seems like a multi terrabyte nightmare. I think I will concentrate on only laptop manuals and schematics and work on quality and ease of use. Hopefully a few of us with servers can host a specific type of manual and sort to make finding easy. My VPS only has about 100GB so I will have to find another site to upload my files to as the collection grows.

content: Yeah, that's me. I hope it's OK ... trying to be as "server friendly" as possible. if it affects you in some way please PM me and I'll limit the transfer speeds or do as you suggest.When it's all transferred i'll make them available on the ftp server for free... i may just do a duplicate search and maybe recompress some of the huge pictures to save some disk space (like 5000x4000 and bigger pictures that would be half the disk space at 75-80% jpeg quality, practically no visible loss of quality)

content: It's not a problem at all. In fact, the more mirrors and copies out there the greater chance of it being available to someone in the future. We both have the same method for user access. I don't restrict the number of files someone can download or make people enter captchas per file etc. That way someone can use a program like filezilla or httrack and download the entire collection and have them on hand locally should the need arise. I was just commenting on how I would stick to PC schematics and repair guides in the future as I only have around 100GB of server space at the moment.The only problem I see is finding the time to sort all the files into a suitable naming convention so they can be found. I have a ton of PDFs to open rename and move to an appropriate directory.

content: Actually this could become a great teamwork project. We could make a directory and naming convention and build the empty directories and people could take a few gigs each and sort them. It would easily become the biggest schematic / service manual archive getting into the terabytes . I would buy more server space so there would be a few mirrors.It would be kind of likeServicemanuals\laptops\asusServicemanuals\testgear\flukeSchematics\laptops\asusetc etc - we could zip the archive intro 10gb parts and everyone who wants to help can sort them and upload to a new R/W ftp or such. Just throwing it out there. What does everyone think??

content: You're reviving a thread from 2017.Unfortunately, some time ago I had to cancel that dedicated server and reorganize things and moved that particular website to a shared hosting account, so running an anonymous ftp server on that is no longer possible.I still have most of the stuff but it's spread across multiple drives at the moment and right now I don't have the time nor the funds to host it again on anonymous ftp.
