tarrant_ino Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 Can anyone advise me as to how many players I could host a server for with a 1mbit connection .... only 256kb upload? Thanks
Dealer Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 about 6-8 players {ULK}Dealer I'm Back ? Did i ever Leave ? If u saw some random guy running around ur server killing u all, it was most likely me!
tarrant_ino Posted January 6, 2004 Author Posted January 6, 2004 In that case i am struggling .. I get about 3 people connected and then if another joins 2 of the ones connected get timeout crc check and get disconnected can anyone help .. I am running winxp serv pk 1 All correct ports open through firewall and no hardware router !
crUshed420 Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 That sounds about right to me... at 256K upload limit, that's only 32k/sec max you can upload at... You NEED at LEAST 8k/sec per player, so at 4 players, you're maxed out. And I say need because for best results, I've found you should have about 15k/sec per player (in both directions)
=AA=\/\/heeL(V)an Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 okay heres a noob question dont yell at me for asking it... does anyone know what my upload speed would be if i have a 100mbit connection? pwned Official B.l.a.s.t.Addict Wheelman: An extremely well hung, l33t h4x0r online player; unbeatable; the driver of an automobile, especially of a getaway car.ex- Wheelman pwnz j00.
crUshed420 Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 If your connection is 100mbit then your upload speed is 100mbit If you mean how many kBYTES/sec should you get with a 100mbit connection (and I'm assuming your UPLOAD is also 100mbit [100mbit = 100,000 kilo bit], not just your download) then your upload speed is: 100,000 divided by 8 = 12,500 k/sec Which is about 12 megs per second... So if you really have a 100mbit upload speed, you should be able to upload an entire CD in under 1 minute flat.
Guest Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 are those hypothetical speeds, or do you actually get those speeds.
Dealer Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 if u were transferring between 2 of the same connections directly u wud hit that. Unlikely tho And ive had 6 ppl on a server i have hosted and its been fine. (256k upload) {ULK}Dealer I'm Back ? Did i ever Leave ? If u saw some random guy running around ur server killing u all, it was most likely me!
Hermy Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 With 26 people i get 600-700kb uplaod p/s. Yes i have 100mbit. But why is it so much. Cs or mohaa is much way less. Will there be done something about it in the future?

Will there be done something about it in the future? Wow, that's even more than I guessed... much more! 600-700 kilo-bytes per second??? OUCH!!!
Slothman Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 also, we should mention that the location of the server often has an effect over the other people pings. if youre in the uk, then someone in canada wouldn't get as good a ping as someone next door on the same type of connection.

Hermy Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Upload has nothing to do with ping. I have a ping kick. So all the pings are under 250. Upload is still 600-700
