UnlimitedBangla.com is an FTP site. It has a huge collection of Bengali music. I am sure anyone will love this site. The collection is really great. All songs are in mp3 format. Currently the server has a collection of over 15,000 Bengali songs. This site is based on a collaborative concept of sharing music, but this is not something similar to shareware. The collection of Bengali songs on this server is always getting enriched by user donations. The first time you create a user id with this site, they will provide you with 50 songs credit. You can download 50 songs and after that they will not provide you any more download credit. The good thing is that if you contribute to this collection by uploading a song which is not there in the server you will get 20 more songs credit. That means the upload-download ration is 1:20. To get more downloads from this site you have to upload Bengali music from your own collection to this server. This is really a good idea to enrich this collection.

Technically this site is using FTP (File Transfer Protocol) for file download. FTP is a protocol used to transfer files between computers across the Internet. FTP is the most commonly used process for downloading a file from a server and uploading a file to a server. I believe the FTP transfer is a bit better than the regular HTTP transfer protocol.

There are several FTP client software downloads available for free. CoreFTP LE is one of the best FTP client software downloads for Windows. For last two years I've been using this one without any issues. You can check all available free FTP client softwares at cnet.com. You need to download and install this software in your local system and then connect to the UnlimitedBangla.com FTP server (ftp://bangla.homeip.net:2121) using your server login and password. On the UnlimitedBangla.com site you have to first create one account. This account will serve as your FTP server login user id. Make sure you provided the correct FTP port, which is 2121 in this case.

Once you successfully connect to the FTP server you will see two windows side by side - one is your local computer folders (in a Windows Explorer view) and the other is the FTP server folders (in the Explorer view). You can just drag and drop the folder from one window to another, which will actually download or upload the files. Downloading is really easy. Just drag the folder containing your music of choice on the server to your local computer folder. Once the download starts you don't need to do anything, it will automatically download the complete folder for you. You can also check your activities in their site from this link http://www.UltimateBangla.com/youruserid.ftp (this is not the actual link for your account activities, youruserid should be replaced with your actual user id for this site). This is very helpful to know the status of your account. It will provide a list of your download-upload activities.

One bad thing about this server is that the server is very slow and sometimes you may find server is down. You may face a few connection problems. My advice is to check later if you face any problems connecting to the server. The site has a forum also. You can get help if you face any problem with this site. There are several instances when I got very good help from this forum. To view the forum - click here.
