I run GMPOWERtalk.com, an auto site where people upload a ton of pics. Anyways, I am using a ton of bandwidth and currently using a shared dedicated server from venturesonline.com. But, I want to get a rackshack server with 300GB to host my uploads so my BW isn't out of the roof on venturesonline server.

I posted this on VB's main forums and was told you guys did a custom avater hack to do this. Anyone ever though of doing it for uploads? I think a lot of people could possibly benefit from this, especially those tight on bandwidth that could use a rackshack server to host images and a powerful server to do the bulk work. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you guys!! :stupid:

I agree, I would love to do this as well, it is much cheaper for me to pay for 3 shared servers each handling a portion of my bandwidth than to waste all my time on a dedicated server.

Me too, Me too!

Happy someone else has interest. I am planning on getting a rackshack server with 300GB month with someone else. We each get 150GB for $50/month!!! Then I keep the venturesonline server we have to hold the bulk part of the forum.

I am willing to pay towards the development of this. So, if anyone knows how PLEASE let us know :) It appears we have two interested people now. I think anyone that uses a ton of bandwidth could benefit from this and it could save them a ton of money.
