KOTZWINKLE FTP-SERVER FAQ:
Q: What are URL´s for the Kotzwinkle - Redirectors?
A: http://kickme.to/kotzwinkle
or http://kotzwinkle.b6.to to
get to the FTP Login.http://kickme.to/kotzwinklemirror
to get to the Samples-Website.
Q: Sometimes it´s kind of hard to login to the server.The
browser reports something like "Server Error",what am I
supposed to do?
A: Log out and login again (it is important to logout first!),after
2 or 3 retries it should work.The cause of this problem can be a very
busy FTP-server or the server is uploading via FTP to another server,this
might handicap incoming connections.In this case try again later (1-2
hours).If problem persist contact the admin
.
Q: I´m logged in,but my browser still says "Java
Script error",what the fuck´s going on?
A: Check your browser version.You need at least IE 5.5 or Netscape
4.7 or higher.Restart your browser and try again.If this fails, make
sure you have the latest Java TM Virtual Machine -
Plugin Automatic Installation .If problem persist Kotzwinkle FTP-server
might be reconnecting,so try again in 1-2 hours.
Q: I use IE 5.0 and can see the files,but how can I download?
A: Just drag the files to folder you want to start download.
Q: The download procedure is "buggy",my downloads
get interrupted after a while.What´s going on?Is there something
I´m missing?
Q: This is an known problem.It´s kind of rare though.In this
case send an email to the administrator
,it seems that the server must be re-booted.After a couple of seconds
everything should be o.k.A solution might also be if you use a FTP-Client
like WS-FTP or CuteFTP or Total Commander (for Mac Leech FTP or Anarchy),this
clients are much more closer to the FTP-standards than browsers.
Q: Does Kotzwinkle has a DL/UL Ratio?
A: Yes,every new user has a 1:2 DL/UL ratio,which means that you can
download 2 files,but have to upload 1 to increase your download account.Users
who contribute more uploads get higher ratio.
Q: The IP doesn´t seem to be updated really.Sometimes
the update time is over 24 hrs.Is the server really working?
A: For the moment Kotzwinkle updates the html-file automatically,
but the temporary ftp-server where the new IP is updated ,is sometimes
hard to reach due to heavy traffic,so try again later.
Q: When I try to connect,my browser says:"Server Busy".What
does that mean?
A: In this case check if you have an updated IP-connection,it should
be less than 24 hours.Try again later when the server made it´s
automatic IP-update
Q: How many simultaneous downloads are supported?
A: Kotzwinkle supports max.2 DL at a time.But is not recommended.Other
users are sharing the same bandwidth!And single-downloads are better
anyways.Good results are made with synchronous UL/DL with good bandwidth,depending
on the amount of connected users in the system.
