Here's a few to start off: 1. Initial quota may be wrong When you first check your quota *without* having done anything by FTP, you may find that, if you were close to the 20MB limit before then you are now well over it. Save a file to disk and then delete it on your web space. Preferably one that it doesn't matter if it's missing for a minute or so. Now recheck your quota on the Control Panel. Now, of course, re-upload the file. In my case, I discovered the quota link on https://admin.dwh.demon.net was claiming that I had used 33.1MB when the identical folders locally gave actual file size 14.5MB actual, 17.3MB disk space used. I deleted a directory or two that I no longer needed. Now the quota link said I was using 6.42MB when the equivalent local mirror gave 4.44MB actual, 4.97MB used on local disk. I think something is wrong with the migration in that the initial amount used is reported by http://admin.dwh.demon.net is roughly double what it should have been. Anyone who hasn't FTP'd anything or deleted a file might want to check their original quota usage then delete a file and see what happens to the quota usage to confirm whether this is common or just in my case. 2. "Access Logs" page has wrong link The "Access Logs" link takes you to a page that lists the available logs for download and which includes a further link at the end of "You can view them via your FTP account" where the FTP account is a clickable link. Demon have missed off the www for the link so it points to your Internet Connection. Click on the link then manually add the www between the ftp:// and your hostname. Your own access logs available for download are actually at ftp://www.hostname.demon.co.uk/logs/ 3. "Access Log Analysis" page has wrong link Similar problem as 2 for "Access log analysis". Points you to http://hostname.demon.co.uk/stats/ which is your own connection. Use http://www.hostname.demon.co.uk/stats/ instead. -- Pedt uk.announce ~ moderated group to announce news / events of specific interest to a wider uk.* readership than the group(s) which their subjects would naturally place them.

This would appear useful. I'll chuck a .txt file together during the coming week (and probably mirror it somewhere off Demon webspace in the short term until things settle down.) >> ... > > >>3.

Be interesting to see if others see results similar to mine or yours. My quote allowance of webpace used being double what I had previously was too exact to be mere co-incidence. >ISTM that this topic should be in demon.service.homepages.
