Hello all!
On my my hosting service someone has installed Rapid Leech: http://rapidleech.com/
Should I permit this or would this cause problems in the future?

Thanks for your feed back!

If it's a shared server, you probably want to suspend the account. It's a resource hog.

[Spirix]

Alright thanks. I will probably send him an email.

First, I would measure to see how much of a resource hog it is. If it is not causing trouble for other users, why block it?

[xplhost]

From the look's of it, personaly, i would probobly suspend it, as it is a file storage place, and you probobly know that most of them host nulled, or illigal scripts.

[Aspirine]

if you want to allow file storage then you must not allow Nullified scripts...because it is illegal also if your server uptime is 99% it would be 80% if RapidLeech or other file hosting scripts are installed.... Large bandwidth consumption..... Better to suspend or warn the User about the script OR his/her website to not run these kinda scripts......

[Martyn]

it can use alot of resources, and it could be used to download illegal software.. so becareful.

[adilbhai]

Well, I believe that you delete all such scripts, as these can sometimes even consume bandwidth @ 10mbps. So during then your server will be unavailable.

I have tried and tested it before, and a few times it has made my testing server hang up... very annoying -.- but i suppose its good if you need to download something quick, as servers download it pretty fast then you can download it off your server, with less connections... etc etc

Depending on your server you should consider suspending that specific account as it might cause the server to be slower than normal.
