Now doubt I will be asked to upload it to my UK website for my Lebanese friend.
I have plenty of server space and the download here is pretty fast as I don't have to use a VPN. The advantage of being where we are in the UK is that our Internet does not come through BT whose block sites such as ThePirateBay. Also my upload speed is pretty much the same as my download speed as my Internet connection is symmetrical. This is unlike Canada as my upload was far slower than my download. I guess this was to discourage the running of a website on your Internet connection.
My situation is doubly ironic as there are many here in the UK that moan that they cannot run a business on a rural broadband connection as it is too slow to enable ecommerce. I think that it is more a case of misconception and a political statement about that the promise of "Super-Fast Broadband" has not been achieved when the government said it would.
