Author Topic: Filetype Slot Allocation? (Read 1150 times)

I share 2000+ MP3 files, 500+ MPG files, and 50+ AVI files. The AVI's are 10-100X larger than the rest, and take proportionally much longer to upload, so I would like to limit their allocation, while allowing the smaller files to process. Does anyone have any ideas?

You can reserve extra slots in mxmoniter and auto start all files under 6 mb (That's the highest mp3 I have... you may want to reduce it). You can get mxmoniter in the goodies section.
That's what I do... and works good as well, as if no one wants mp3s, then the bandwidth goes to the users who want .avi files...

Cheers

Yes, that seems to be working nicely. By autostarting files <60Mb, I can accomodate the music and video people without being bogged down by the AVI's. Thanks.
