Just as easy to zip it up and call it a new BBS door or some other cool
application you would want someone who keeps a constant 24/7 connections..
thats one reason I just completely decided to halt uploads all together.. that
photo.scr replicates itself also.. it's really a mess if something activates it
before virus scanner gets to it.. my old xp machine could'nt keep up with
running the whole load of the BBS and a resident scanner too, so I completely
done away with uploads, then the BBS outgrew the old XP machine. It got to
where it would take 5-10 seconds to pull up a message on the website (that was
the main culprit of processing usage). it does so much better on my new
configuration.
