Regarding the slow FTP upload speed:
Everytime I upload, I always upload to Fileserve and Uploadstation at the same time, 25 connections each. Fileserve upload speed is usually normal but Uploadstation many files start up slow at 1xx Kbps or less than 20 KB/s and stay on that speed forever until it times out. I also tried using 5 simultaneous connections rather than 25 but Uploadstation was still slow, so it may not be my stressing the server. Something is seriously wrong with Uploadstation FTP....
[Update]
Now it seems to be a dedicated Uploadstation issue. I have not experienced any slowdowns with Fileserve for a few days already. It's all Uploadstation now....
