If majkp is forking out large sums of his own money it might be advisable to open our pockets a bit.

Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 Server - Network Traffic - estevesbk - 09-17-2007 Please, Capital ship users: Downgrade ALL your ships to the light-fighter class, because your turrets take too much bandwidth. Thanks in advance! :crazy: Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 Server - Network Traffic - Dopamino - 09-17-2007 according to wired (the magazine), majkp is one of the cheapest places in the world for bandwith Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 Server - Network Traffic - onca - 09-17-2007 Holy moly.... Majk you do have P2P sharing or bit torrent running as well, don't you??!!! OMFG that's alot of bandwidth... right all weps will now be downgraded to 1.00 shot/sec Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 Server - Network Traffic - majkp - 09-18-2007 P2P, isn't that illegal? :P To answer the questions here, we currently have 16Mbps full duplex line (don't worry, no FUP there), which costs like 900$/month, but it's payed by the customers of our tiny wireless network. And because the flserver consumes mainly the upstream, it just uses the unused connectivity as our network consumes mainly the downstream. So I don't have to pay anything extra for the connection now, I just pay for the 24/7 electricity. In August, I was worried by the exponential increase of traffic but it seems to slow down so I hope everything will be okay even without reducing the player limit. Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 Server - Network Traffic - Mr_3ppozz - 09-18-2007 Thats a good deal 16mbit for 900$ a month.. we pay tripple that for 5.2 mbit:P What does the electric bill look like??? im sure we all can spare enough to cover that mostly eh;) Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 Server - Network Traffic - Victor - 09-18-2007 I don't know what the policy is between you and the server supplier, but this is a goldmine for advertising... ... ... but then again, I don't want any weird-irritating-in-your-face looking banners on the forums...:unsure: Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 Server - Network Traffic - Eppy - 09-18-2007 ...no advertising, please. If I see Zwinkys in my bloody backyard I will start committing random acts of violence and killing everybody that passes my front porch. Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 Server - Network Traffic - majkp - 09-18-2007 I think there is no need for advertising, well as long as Igiss can pay for the hosting of the forums himself - they are becoming huge... And I don't mind paying for the electricity and I am also happy that the server hardware could be paid from donations, thanks to all donors. |
