FTP-server with anti-leech options? Anyone?

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for the following:
A FTP-server that allows anonymous logins, and can measure/restrict the
amount of traffic an anonymous user downloads per day.

To prevent users from leeching my entire FTP site I would like to set a
10 Mb limit/per IP address/per day.
How do I accomplish this?

I don't think there's a FTP server for Linux that can do this "Out Of
The Box" someone correct me If I'm wrong. Proftpd (proftpd.org) can
*almost* do all of this. You can limit (and throttle) the bandwidth per
session with proftpd and you could probably deal with the "per day"
requirement with iptables and a few cron jobs.

Cheers,
Jason

Correct - ProFTPD can set ratios for transfers and bandwidth used.

Well, I've gotten creative and now use a combo of vsftpd & net2ftp. It
does do the job I need it to do, although it isn't 'real' FTP
anymore... ;-)
