@f4n3: The free download speed issue should be fixed by now. A lot of people are getting VERY satisfying speeds (above 300 kbps) as free users - The slow speed back before was the congestion of the unforeseen increase in traffic and therefore we did not have enough servers. We are now staying ahead of this issue (unlike other hosts who will milk and then pay for new servers) and adding more servers tomorrow, so we can give good speeds over the weekend
Remote Upload should work fine. If it doesn't it is most likely not on our end, but on the other end (whether the host banned us OR the server doesn't allow sending outbound traffic)
Best regards,
Ricky
