The TriBBS Bulletin Board System 111
The following is an example a RATIOS.DAT file:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
30,10,20
20,5,10
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Note from this example that a level 30 caller must maintain a file
ratio of 1 upload for every 10 downloads and a byte ratio of 1K bytes
uploaded for every 20K bytes downloaded. If the caller fails to
maintain these levels he will not be able to download anymore files
until he uploads a sufficient number of files or bytes to restore is
file/byte ratios to the required level.
IMPORTANT: Do not include any security levels in RATIOS.DAT that you
don't want TriBBS to check.
Free Downloads
--------------
Often times, a BBS has a number of files that the sysops would like
all callers to be able to download without the files being counted
towards the caller's file and/or byte ratio. You can accomplish this
with TriBBS by creating a file called FREE.DAT in node 1's MWORK
directory. FREE.DAT is a simple ASCII text file that specifies the
name of any files that will be a free download. You should note that
you can use DOS wildcard characters in the file names. You can
specify a file area's entire contents as free downloads by specifying
the file area directory's complete path name in FREE.DAT. The
following is an example of a FREE.DAT file:
c:\tribbs\tribbs\*.*
r*.*
In the above example, TriBBS will consider any files that are in the
directory "c:\tribbs\tribbs" and any files starting with "r" as free
downloads.
