Does anyone here actually use Whistler as their OS or are they just playing around?
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.
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?
The ISO of Whistler is 600mb. I don't think my ISP will allow me to upload that much.
do you have Cabel/Dsl or a 56k?
aDSL
Why can't you upload that much?
They should allow you to upload that
if not.... can you please AIM it to me my screen name is Dimava
600mb over AIM?
Yer avin' a larf... :rolleyes:
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.(
yea, I'm estimating about 3 hours if dennis will send it
do you have a better way parksie?
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.
they can't do that, can they?
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.
but they cant limit how much you use, can they?
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.
so they will suspect that you are running a big commerical web server
but who would run a big commerical server for about 3hours?
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.
whats wrong with reaching less then the max?
Denis:
where did you get it from?
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.
can you share the link with us?
or if they email you, say that you are backing up a CD to someone's computer
By The Way, if Dennis sends it to me, it will be on my server, for everyone to download
It is a friends FTP server, and he only allows certain people to download things from him.
So can't he just let Dimava access it?
