I need a FTP server that holds 10GB min, 20GB max, I also need it to have very fast speeds on download, even if theirs 500 people downloading at the same time, even tho this might never happen :D

How much are you willing to spend each month for this? I know a couple good FTP hosts.

500 people downloading ? o_O.

Lets say everyone had 10mbit/s, that would be 5000 mbit/s. I don't think you'll find that. Buy a server cluster of like 5 Server connected via hardware raid, and you'll get what you want ;). probably ~150$ month with unlimited traffic. Just google for prices.

Also you should consider buying a root server and install your own ftp-server-software.

wut wut in the but??

I want a simple FTP to upload my files to and give the link to people, like 0.0.0.0/filename.extension and it should download, no need to go all.. cyber-punk on my ass :p

Well, if you got the traffic you mentioned (500 user @ decent speed). You'll need some cyber-punk-server-monster-thing ;P. Otherwise just choose a normal webhost, they usually got ftp access too. But you probably won't be able to setup the ftp-server yourself, thats why i suggested a root server, where you could have a perfect access control, speed limits and so on.

500 people at decent speeds? your going to be spending tons of money on this you know that right?

OOH OOH I Gotz an idea!!

1. Host yourself.
2. Find a dedicated hosting company.

How much traffic do you think you'll be using a month?
No way you can get 500 users at the same time 24/7 for a decent price, dedicated gbit lines are expensive..

Allright, lets say its 50 max users on at the same time downloading same file(s), how fast could I go at max for a good price?
