The more I think about it, the more I see that FTP is a bad idea because of the fact that people could mess up the turn files like you said.

For every expert that tells you that leaving the PC on will shorten it's life, you can find one that will tell you that the heat & cool of starts & stops will shorten it's life. Personally, I prefer to leave my PC on and just turn off my monitor. My PC is now old & severely obsolete but still runs great.

Ok Ballbarian, the other problem is that the computer is where I sleep and I am tired of having to hear the powersupply fan.


FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

...FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

all night.

Edit: Moving the computer is not an option.

Get hosting on Gandalf Parker's linux server. If you already configured the game from the command line, it's the same.

Although there are several players that play on Macs, I don't specifically know of anyone who has used one for a server. Perhaps the server is buggy in the Mac version, and you are just the first one to find out.

You are free to run games on the LlamaServer if you want Argitoth.
