disturbed Posted July 5, 2006 CID Share Posted July 5, 2006 i got contacted today by the owner of my server hosting company saying that i am costing them 70-80 dollars per month extra - for bandwidth mainly...... i did not, up untill today, realize how much bandwidth our server uses actually - i was shocked its a counter strike 1.6 server - 15 slots - top of the line server with everything added on (500+fps boost, location optimized/accelerated, etc.) it is pretty much full 24/7 - ....we use on average about 1000 - 1200 GB of bandwidth a month.....i could not believe it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blunted 2 Posted July 6, 2006 CID Share Posted July 6, 2006 thats wayy wayyy to much for just that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted July 6, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 6, 2006 well the way i figure is that its a boosted server - it has to transfer more data and more often then a regular server - thus using more bandwidth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted July 6, 2006 CID Share Posted July 6, 2006 nah man thats still atleast double what it should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resopalrabotnick Posted July 6, 2006 CID Share Posted July 6, 2006 how many people have access to that server? and how many of those have admin rights on the server? might there be someone running a warez repository on the side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disturbed Posted July 6, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 6, 2006 there is 14 + 1 players on the server at pretty much any time of the day - its full...unless people connect/disconnect or something goes wrong - only i have access to the ftp and uploading/downloading files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted July 7, 2006 CID Share Posted July 7, 2006 thats still too much cause i used to host 4 16 man games and used less than that so something is using alot. put it this way i host at night time only now and i use almost 3 gigs a day at 200 to 250 Kb/s for a 16 man server and even at full 24/7 it wont reach that. a 32 man unreal tournament 2004 server uses over 3 mb upload a match and that wont reach 1200 gigs a month. do you have any software keeping track of what is being used? can you get any that does?
