Hello,

You are welcome to do this on a vps, but you should keep in mind that VPS server's do have bandwidth limits, if you go over them you will either need to upgrade or your server will be suspended. So be careful how many downloads you offer.

Is there anyway to find the Total Bandwidth usage on my VPS for the month rather than summing the Bandwidth of each accounts ??
