Go ahead and list it! I have a limit of 20 concurrent users right now.
If I get maxed out for a day or two, I won't die. We'll see what kind of
bandwidth my network can handle, anyway :) And hopefully, as you say,
others will want to open up their ftp servers as well. Maybe you could
note my bandwidth when you list my server, though, so that no one is
surprised.
