Bandwidth is cool

Server hit 21.5 Mb/s after I spammed the link to some friends and IRC channels.

One person got 750KB/sec each on 2 simultaneous downloads. I want his connection.

I love my server *hugs*

Disabled mysql logging for the next few hours as the processes were hogging memory.

So much bandwidth, so little time.

Checking my server's usage for the month of October, I realized I had 150 odd gigs left over for the month. In a quest to fix this problem, I uploaded a bunch of large video files to be served to the masses.

40 GB so far has been served in the last 24 hours. I've got another 9 or so 'til midnight when I'll be into a new billing period and need to pull the plug.

The videos are all the MotoGP races from this season in Xvid format, approximately 300-350megabytes each. Click here to play along, though the links'll probably be down shortly.
