Yep! My goddamn ISP emailed me today about the FTP server i'm running, although I do commend them... it only took about a year to figure it out.

I understand that many of you are running personal webservers... would anyone be willing to host the eBooks? I could always look for a freeserver, but that's no fun :)

How would my ISP go about finding out i'm running an FTP server anyway? Monitoring the port I guess, or someone tipped them off :( I figure I can start it back up again in a little while on a different port.

I don't have a ftp server up but I could probably put them in a folder on my web server for the time being (http access beats nothing). How much data do you have? I tried to get it from your ftp but you seem to have taken it down already. I'm not sure I'm even allowed to run a server either but I probably have a while before the ISP catches on. Mine has only been up for a few weeks.

When ISP's draft the terms of service you can guarantee that they will be allowed to do whatever they want...:)
