+--------> Maximum upload byte before upgrading
| +----> Upgraded level
| |
30 4 3 3 400 0.5 300 3000 40
100 5 4 4 500 0.5 500 6000 110
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | +-------------> Daily time limit (K Bytes)
| | | | | +-----------------> Message Ratio
| | | | +---------------------> Free Byte
| | | +------------------------> Free File
| | +--------------------------> Byte Ratio
| +----------------------------> File Ratio
+-------------------------------> Security Level

File Ratio : This will be the file ratio for your board. With a
ratio of 4 means that the user needs to upload 1 file
before he can download 4 files. A 0 File ratio will let
the security level to have unlimited number of files.
Byte Ratio : This will be about the same as the file ratio. Eg. With
a ratio of 3 means that the user needs to have 1 upload
byte so that he can have 3 download bytes. A 0 Byte
ratio will let the security level to have unlimited
download bytes.
Free File : Users are given a number of Free File before the ratio
are being enforced. A 0 Free File will not have any
free file given. So the user will have to upload first
before they can download.

are being enforced. The Free Byte are all given in
KBytes. If the Free Byte are given to be 0 , the user
will have to upload first before he can download.
