Whistler -- who uses it?

**parksie** · Feb 25th, 2001, 07:05 AM

Does anyone here actually use Whistler as their OS or are they just playing around?

**Active** · Feb 25th, 2001, 11:31 AM

It is No longer to be called Whistler....It has matured
and even grown a Moustache...Call it Windows XP Experience)
[But Some Would like to call it Windows Experimental or
Windows - Extremely Painful ]

I think No one Would have had a hand on WindowsXP
Except ' oetje '

I've got the ISO of Whistler, but I haven't installed it yet.. I'll try it once I get around to hooking up my old PC.

**dimava** · Feb 25th, 2001, 12:58 PM

can you please upload it to my server?

ftp://172.182.31.33

also... does anyone know how to keep my IP address from changing?

Feb 25th, 2001, 01:16 PM

The ISO of Whistler is 600mb. I don't think my ISP will allow me to upload that much.

**dimava** · Feb 25th, 2001, 01:17 PM

do you have Cabel/Dsl or a 56k?

Feb 25th, 2001, 01:18 PM

aDSL

**parksie** · Feb 25th, 2001, 01:19 PM

Why can't you upload that much?

**dimava** · Feb 25th, 2001, 01:20 PM

They should allow you to upload that

if not.... can you please AIM it to me my screen name is Dimava

**parksie** · Feb 25th, 2001, 01:24 PM

600mb over AIM?

Yer avin' a larf...

**Active** · Feb 25th, 2001, 01:26 PM

The Non Commercial Version of ADSL ( Low Cost Version)
is not allowed to act like a Commercial Server. At 600 MB transfer
(In any Direction) The ISP can Easily Detect it and
Will Charge Dennis for it.(

**dimava** · Feb 25th, 2001, 01:26 PM

yea, I'm estimating about 3 hours if dennis will send it

do you have a better way parksie?

Feb 25th, 2001, 01:27 PM

Dimava:

Even if I do send it to you via AIM, it is still uploading the file.

All:
My ISP get's suspicious if there is very much uploading activity. They say it is prohibited to run an HTTP server off of your account. Of course you can run one to design your website, but if you are using it for file sharing purposes, they will not be happy.

**dimava** · Feb 25th, 2001, 01:28 PM

they can't do that, can they?

**parksie** · Feb 25th, 2001, 01:28 PM

Well, an ISO image is a single file, so just compress it -- dennis, you know how to use zlib so I'm sure you can code a suitable splitting program up that's far superior to a ZIP file.

Compression should get it down to about 400mb, then split it into about 6 pieces.

**dimava** · Feb 25th, 2001, 01:29 PM

but they cant limit how much you use, can they?

**parksie** · Feb 25th, 2001, 01:31 PM

No, but they can find out your level of usage. If they see that you've sent a huge amount they'll know something's going on.

**dimava** · Feb 25th, 2001, 01:32 PM

so they will suspect that you are running a big commerical web server

but who would run a big commerical server for about 3hours?

**Active** · Feb 25th, 2001, 01:33 PM

Even if he breaks it in to multiple parts.
They Would still Weigh 500Kg err... MB cumulatively.
And That is still close to maximum limit allowed by the ISP.

**dimava** · Feb 25th, 2001, 01:35 PM

whats wrong with reaching less then the max?

Denis:
where did you get it from?

Feb 25th, 2001, 01:47 PM

There really is no Max. but if I upload more than about 100mb they start sending me emails asking what I'm doing.

I got it from a friends FTP server.

**dimava** · Feb 25th, 2001, 01:48 PM

can you share the link with us?

or if they email you, say that you are backing up a CD to someone's computer

**dimava** · Feb 25th, 2001, 01:48 PM

By The Way, if Dennis sends it to me, it will be on my server, for everyone to download

Feb 25th, 2001, 01:49 PM

It is a friends FTP server, and he only allows certain people to download things from him.

**parksie** · Feb 25th, 2001, 01:52 PM

So can't he just let Dimava access it?

**dimava** · Feb 25th, 2001, 02:07 PM
