+# GMMC Media Server
+
+A high-performance, public media download server built with Rust and Axum. It is designed to serve extremely large files (100GB+) seamlessly and features a retro, Minecraft-themed web dashboard for easy access.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Blazing Fast & Lightweight**: Powered by Rust, Axum, and Tokio.
+- **Large File Optimization**: Streams files using configurable chunk sizes (default 8MB) to handle massive files with low memory footprint.
+- **Resume Support**: Full support for HTTP `Range` requests, allowing paused or interrupted downloads to be resumed.
+- **Retro Dashboard**: A dynamic, Minecraft-style UI built with vanilla HTML/CSS and the VT323 font. Includes 1-click copy-to-clipboard commands for terminal downloading.
+- **No Authentication Required**: Built for public, hassle-free access.
+- **Security & Access Control**: Built-in security headers and optional IP whitelisting.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- [Rust & Cargo](https://rustup.rs/) (edition 2021)
+- A `.env` file for server configuration
+- A `media_config.json` file for file registry
+
+## Configuration
+
+### 1. Environment Variables (`.env`)
+Create a `.env` file in the root directory:
+```env
+PORT=3000
+HOST=0.0.0.0
+# Request timeout in seconds (default 3600 for 1 hour)
+REQUEST_TIMEOUT_SECS=3600
+# Streaming chunk size in KB (default 8192 for 8MB)
+CHUNK_SIZE_KB=8192
+# Optional: comma-separated list of allowed IPs
+# ALLOWED_IPS=127.0.0.1,192.168.1.100
+# Optional: Domain for generating absolute download URLs
+# DOMAIN=https://downloads.example.com
+```
+
+### 2. Media Registry (`media_config.json`)
+Define the files you want to host. Create a `media_config.json` in the root directory:
+```json
+{
+  "files": {
+    "ubuntu-iso": {
+      "name": "Ubuntu 24.04 LTS",
+      "path": "/path/to/ubuntu-24.04-desktop-amd64.iso",
+      "description": "The latest LTS release of Ubuntu.",
+      "content_type": "application/x-iso9660-image"
+    },
+    "large-dataset": {
+      "name": "AI Training Dataset",
+      "path": "./data/dataset.tar.gz",
+      "description": "Huge 150GB dataset for machine learning models."
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Running the Server
+
+1. Clone the repository and navigate to the project root.
+2. Build and run the server:
+   ```bash
+   cargo run --release
+   ```
+3. Open your browser and navigate to `http://localhost:3000` (or your configured `HOST` and `PORT`).
+
+## Usage
+
+- **Web Dashboard**: Visit the root URL to view available files, their sizes, and descriptions. Click "Download" or copy the provided cURL commands.
+- **Direct Download (Browser)**: `http://localhost:3000/download/{file_id}`
+- **cURL Download**:
+  ```bash
+  curl -O http://localhost:3000/download/{file_id}
+  ```
+  *(For resumable downloads via cURL, add `-C -`)*
