I'm setting up a public mirror (ftp only so far) on one of our servers and was wondering what kind of bandwidth usage to plan for. We have about 100M overall at this site, but I want to make sure that I can limit the rate appropriately. I had planned on doing this using the ftp server's configuration (vsftpd).
Anyone have any notes on a good ballpark figure for maximum number of connections and maximum bandwidth per connection? Any horror stories, grim warnings or sage advice appreciated.
