FTP Connections maximum?
Hello, lets consider you run www.download dot com and other mass downloading websites and lets consider that you have one IIS server.
What is a realistic maximum FTP connections?
What sort of transfer rate would that be?
Lets consider that you are on an Host with 100Mbit/sec connected to the net. I am wondering how much an ISP would throttle your server so you don't max-out their internet pipe. And IIS FTP service, would it strugle with over 25 connections at a time? Whats realistic?

Dave, we not running anything currently, but if you want to see what I am doing, then see if you can see my other questions posted.
I am supprised tat 10,000 concurrent connections, I just feel that sort of figure to be impossible on a standard FTP/IIS host deal.
I guessed processor/memory would come into it, but it is judging what is possible with deals out there. I could be transfering 400-2000 concurrent connections of 10-20MB but want to know if in practice this is realistic on an American or UK host. Would I just flood the host? Anyone got any experience of this?

How much memory and how fast a connection to the host ISP?
As far as Concurrent FTp connections I believe the IIS FTP service has been tested with upwards of 10,000 concurrent connections.
There is a theoretical upper limit of somewhere around 60,000 connections simply becuase you'd run out of ports/sockets, but the realistic maximum is probably more in the 5-10,000 reange depending on what hardware you're using.
As far as the ISP side of things, that will depend entirely on your ISP and your contract with them.
