Circle FTP vs ICC FTP vs Discovery FTP: Which BDIX Server Is Best?
By BDIX Editorial · Updated
Circle FTP, ICC FTP Server and Discovery FTP are compared here on the facts that decide the choice between them: IP addresses, hosting ISP, content type and BDIX reachability. Between them the 3 servers run on 3 different ISPs and hold 11 recorded IP addresses, read live from the BDIX directory as the page renders.
There is no single best of these three. Circle FTP carries the largest movie catalogue, ICC FTP spans the widest range of content including software, music and games, and Discovery FTP concentrates on movies and TV series behind a login. All three answer only on their own operator's network, so the deciding factor is whether Circle Network, ICC Communication or Discovery Communications supplies your connection.
Quick Verdict
| # | Server | Primary IP | ISP | Reachable on | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Circle FTP | 15.1.1.1 | Circle Network | Local Network | Circle FTP (15.1.1.1) is the largest BDIX movie server by catalog volume, run by Circle Network, with mirrors on .4/.5, circleftp.net domains and an Emby-style portal. |
| 2 | ICC FTP Server | 10.16.100.244 | ICC Communication Ltd | Local Network | ICC FTP (10.16.100.244) is the longest-running BDIX media server in Bangladesh: movies, TV series, live TV, software and games from ICC Communication, with three recorded mirror nodes. |
| 3 | Discovery FTP | 16.10.100.244 | Discovery Communications | Local Network | Discovery FTP (16.10.100.244) is Discovery Communications' login-based BDIX media server: movies and TV through the dflix media surface, cds1-cds3 CDN hosts and the node 103.120.165.196. |

Three Servers, Three Different Jobs
Circle FTP, ICC FTP and Discovery FTP are not three sizes of the same thing, and the differences between them are the reason this comparison is worth reading rather than guessing. Circle FTP is the movie-led one. It is a Circle Network service and the largest BDIX movie server by catalogue volume, with recorded addresses across the 15.1.1.x range and a mirror at 103.170.204.84.
ICC FTP is the oldest and the broadest. ICC Communication has run it longer than any other BDIX media server, and it is the only one of the three that carries software, music and games alongside movies and TV series, so it is the only option here for anyone not looking purely for video.
Discovery FTP is the narrowest of the three. It is Discovery Communications' login-based server, served through the dflix media surface, and it holds movies and TV series rather than a mixed library.
The Line That Decides It: Reachability
All three rows above show Local Network in the Reachable on column, and that is the single most useful fact on this page. The directory records each server as reachable on its own operator's network rather than over general BDIX peering, which means the address that works is the one your own connection can route to, not the one printed first in a list.
The practical consequence is that the order of this page is not the order of your choices. If Circle Network supplies your connection, Circle FTP is the one that answers. If ICC Communication does, ICC FTP is. If Discovery Communications does, Discovery FTP is. Where your ISP peers with one of the other two operators, that server usually becomes reachable as well, but that is a property of your line rather than of the server's size or reputation.
Addresses And Mirror Nodes
Mirror nodes matter when a primary address is slow, congested or unreachable, and the three are not equally provisioned. ICC FTP records the most, with three server nodes and two CDN hosts. Circle FTP records four addresses in total, spread across its 15.1.1.x range and 103.170.204.84. Discovery FTP records two, 16.10.100.244 and 103.120.165.196, both of them recorded as primary addresses rather than as mirrors.
Which One To Pick
Work through it in this order. First, read the Reachable on column against your own ISP, because a server you cannot route to is not a choice at all. Second, if two or three of them are reachable to you, decide on content: ICC FTP if you want software, music and games as well as film, Circle FTP if the size of the movie catalogue is the point, Discovery FTP if a plain movies and TV series library is what you want.
Third, open the server page for the one you picked. Each carries its own access notes, its recorded node addresses and any changes logged against it, which is where you will find the detail this side-by-side deliberately leaves out.
Why The Figures Here Can Be Trusted To Be Current
Nothing above is a snapshot. The IP addresses, the hosting ISP, the catalogue types and the reachability values on this page are read from the BDIX directory as the page renders, so when a record is corrected the correction appears here on the next page load. This page is edited only when the reasoning changes.
