Just so you know... our campus ftp machine in CIS (the one I am responsible
for) has really attracted the attention of our campus network folks.  :)

They have noticed the following:

(1) we are sustaining about 70mbits/second 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, non-
stop (downloads going out of the department).  The majority of this is the
databases.

(2) they used to could tell when Eugene would upload a new set of 5 piece
files, as they would see a big spike in net usage.  The spike has been
smoothed out to a continual 70mbits/sec now, it seems.  We are averaging about
40 ftp users non-stop, many sucking up the 6 piece files, which is amazing.

(3) we have a campus traffic monitor, and it consistently has
juniper.cis.uab.edu at the very top of the list traffic-wise, this in a
university/medical center with over 20,000 employees and about that many
computers.

We are _definitely_ noticed.  And yes, before you ask, everyone knows what is
being downloaded "those big chess databases" as they are locally known.  :)

This download phenomenon is really amazing.  I would never have guessed this
level of activity non-stop.
