Windows 10: When uploading the file to the server with the BIST service, are the server using idle...

HiI want to use the BITS service to upload data to an HTTP server. I know that IIS must be on the server, the IIS virtual directory must be enabled for uploads, and have the BITS IIS extensions configured. The question we have and we could not find a definite answer to it is that when uploading data to the server via BITS, does the server, as the client, use idle bandwidth to receive files sent from the client?

Uber file server build -- suggestions

Uber file server build -- suggestions?

I'm currently in the process of buying stuff for my file server build. Going to try and keep this build all in one thread this time.

Stuff already bought:

• 
  Motherboard (socket 1155 H61)
  RAM (1600MHz)
  PCI SATA cards
  Operating System (Windows 8 + FreeNAS)
  SSD
  CPU (35w Pentium Ivybridge 2.6GHz)

Looking for suggestions on:

• 
  GPU -- use the on-die GPU or buy a PCI-E graphics card (was thinking of a 7750)? My only requirement is that it is able to run 1080p mkv files and play Blurays without a problem.
  Case -- needs to hold as many 3.5" drives as humanly possible (more than 10 at least), while not being too expensive
  PSU -- needs to be able to run over 40 SATA HDDs as well as 6xPCI RAID cards and 1xPCI-E 2.0 RAID card. Silver, Gold or Platinum?
  CPU Cooler -- fanless or not?
  Case fans

That's all I can think of for now...unless I'm forgetting something...oh and one more thing -- I will be buying the hard drives two at a time as I run out of space. Also the PCI-E RAID card will be bought a lot later down the line, as I've only just got enough hard drives for 1 out of 6 of my PCI SATA cards.

Any suggestions, feel free to post. Thanks

 

Media/File Server on the cheap

Hey guys,

My PC is currently filling up and i have 4 HDDs.

I use my PC as a media server as well as a gaming rig.

What I want/need to do is build an external enclosure/rig that is cheap money wise and effective as a file/media server that is DNLA compliant. It would be nice to be able to run my Usenet through it and control it via web interface and remote connect. I would use Linux if a step by step guide is available for setting up the DNLA server and such as well.

This is my first foray into this field of PCs. Help please! ^_^

 

I need a file server.

Pure file server, no domain, no print server, nothing.

The only thing beyond the file server role will also be a scan server, as they have a huge printer/scanner/copier combo that currently scans to each individuals desktop, and will now be scanned directly to the users folder on the server.
