How about this: Make the ftpmail program classify what it is transferring by some means, such as "gif" or other strings appearing in the file or any directory name means it is an image. Subclassifications might also be possible. Set the limits on daily transfer based on the classes. The root limit can be less than the total class limit if desired. Thus you can make all the requests for images and gifs compete against each other, and not against those people simply trying to get a copy of the latest neat free public domain software. -- /***************************************************************************\ / Phil Howard -- KA9WGN -- phil@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu | Guns don't aim guns at \ \ Lietuva laisva -- Brivu Latviju -- Eesti vabaks | people; CRIMINALS do!! / \***************************************************************************/
