Hi I have not indicating about any website. I am indicating about files. Say your site contains 5 pages each of 100 KB. then total size of your site is 500 KB or 0.5 MB Now you can also upload files (like zip files, pdf files, html files etc) to your geocities site. (Note that HTML files are actually web pages) those files will have certain size) This is how I upload file to a geocities site: I first login to my yahoo account from http://mail.yahoo.com After entering my yahoo mail account, I type in address bar http://geocities.yahoo.com/filemanager Here i fill up the form ( you have to fill up the form when you are enterinf first time), then I submit the form. After that, i again type in address bar http://geocities.yahoo.com/filemanager there i click "upload files" Thus you can upload files (zip, pdf, html etc) from your computer. Now when you download those files (or tell others to downoad them), you have to limit the download size to 4000 KB / Hour (for FREE account). Means you can not download more than a total of 4000 KB from a geocities free account per hour. So what i am asking if i have 2 accounts (yahoo mail accounts) can i download 3500 KB from one account, and also 3500 KB from the other account in the SAME hour ?? {Note that if you have 2 accounts as [emailprotected] and [emailprotected] and if you upload a jpg file named picture.jpg to both account then download link for the file in [emailprotected] would be http://www.geocities.com/aa/picture.jpg and in [emailprotected] it would be http://www.geocities.com/bb/picture.jpg} Quote by zylstra555 : Quote Other than that, get hosting from this place: http://www.mbhosting.com/ That link is not working.

I really can't answer these questions, since I'm not a Yahoo user.Geocities was a nice free host to start a long time ago. You may notice thoes annoying adverts and Yes, bandwidth limits that is not longer the todays standard BW trasfer where we use massive MB's for picture files alone. Consider getting a cheap hosting service or some other free host that's more usable in todays standard.

Hi

I have not indicating about any website.

I am indicating about files.

Say your site contains 5 pages each of 100 KB.

then total size of your site is 500 KB or 0.5 MB

Now you can also upload files (like zip files, pdf files, html files etc) to your geocities site.

(Note that HTML files are actually web pages)
those files will have certain size)

This is how I upload file to a geocities site:

I first login to my yahoo account from http://mail.yahoo.com

After entering my yahoo mail account, I type in address bar

http://geocities.yahoo.com/filemanager

Here i fill up the form ( you have to fill up the form when you are enterinf first time), then I submit the form.

After that, i again type in address bar

http://geocities.yahoo.com/filemanager

there i click "upload files"

Thus you can upload files (zip, pdf, html etc) from your computer.

Now when you download those files (or tell others to downoad them), you have to limit the download size to 4000 KB / Hour (for FREE account).

Means you can not download more than a total of 4000 KB from a geocities free account per hour.

So what i am asking if i have 2 accounts (yahoo mail accounts) can i
download 3500 KB from one account, and also 3500 KB from the other account
in the SAME hour ??

{Note that if you have 2 accounts as
[emailprotected] and [emailprotected]
and if you upload a jpg file named picture.jpg to both account
then download link for the file in
[emailprotected] would be

http://www.geocities.com/aa/picture.jpg

and in [emailprotected] it would be

http://www.geocities.com/bb/picture.jpg}
