- Command: CREDITS
- Purpose: Display your current file transfer credit standing
- Available at: All command prompts (>)
-
- This command tells you everything you need to know about what you've uploaded, and how much you can download. The following are displayed:
-
- Total uploads: Everything that you've ever uploaded to the
- system is included here.
- Total downloads: Everything that you've ever downloaded from
- the system is included here (including free
- items, Yanks, and Gfile downloads).
- Default ratios: Unless you have 'infinite' credit status,
- everytime that you upload to the system,
- credits are added to your credit balance. These
- ratios determine whether you get 1 credit for
- one upload (1:1) or two for every upload (2:1),
- etc. This is called a 'default' because each
- subboard may optionally be configured to use any
- other ratio as the sysop determines.
- Total credits: Credits you have that may be applied toward
- future downloads. These may have been accumulated
- by past uploads, or may have been given 'free' to
- you by the sysop. These determine the EXACT
- number of files and bytes that you may download,
- unless a subboard is configured otherwise to
- subtract any percentage of the actual credits.
- Usable today: Because the system may have in effect restrictions
- on how much you can download in any one day, the
- number of usable credits may be lower than your
- actual total credits.
