CA3LE Posted February 2, 2005 CID Share Posted February 2, 2005 Some of you may have noticed the increase in activity on this site in the past 30-45 days... lots more people. That's because there has been about a 40% increase in traffic. This has not yet become a problem... but bandwidth is getting up there. I figured I would work on this soon to be problem before it became a problem. I have made some adjustments to the SmarTest forwarding. Main thing you all will notice is the start size is down to 97KB - This, I have found, is a good start size for the test to determine what file size to send you. Doing this will also relieve a little bit of traffic from the server. The forwarding has also been tweaked a little to try and save bandwidth... not by serving you smaller files necessarily, but by sending you the right file the first time, if you have a fast line you most likely know what I'm talking about... for instance ||| you click SmarTest it starts > 386KB > 2992KB > 5983KB > Results (9361KB to do a 5983KB test!??!!) sometimes even ||| you click SmarTest it starts > 386KB > 1496KB > 2992KB > 5983KB > Results (9361KB to do a 5983KB test!??!!) instead of doing all that to get to the end result of sending you 5983 KB test file... it will now (more of the time) do something like this ||| you click SmarTest it starts > 97KB > 5983KB > Results (6080KB to do a 5983KB test... more like it) In that scenario this would save 3.2MB that saves a lot of bandwidth when you take into consideration the amount of people who frequent this site.. Also, the 12160KB (12 MB) test that was becoming a novelty has been slightly restricted. You can't go directly to the test without the results page suggesting that you use that test. You can still use that test... but you will need to score 9000Kbps in order to use it. Just about everyone can agree that a line slower than that really doesn't need all that test... 6MB is quite big also. I am not in anyway restricting the amount of tests you can perform, I am not restricting the type of tests you can perform. I am simply trimming waste.

Odysseus_____ Posted February 2, 2005 CID Share Posted February 2, 2005 Understood and thanks for keeping us informed... I was beginning to wonder about your bandwidth limitations for your host.... I assume you're on one of the planet's "Total Control" packages with like 2000 GB a month, but even still..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odysseus_____ Posted February 2, 2005 CID Share Posted February 2, 2005 Don't feel bad... even when running the smart test it won't let me complete the test anymore... just gives me the line about the server being abused and needing 9000+ kbps to use that test... May wanna check that out CA3LE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted February 4, 2005 CID Share Posted February 4, 2005 Well it is good that the site is growing but i have seen that the ping on some of the user's tracerts have been high when they start to get towards the server.. some of them have time outs... We need another server!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
