so... i was wondering if anyone had a rough idea of the hourly downloads/uploads when running an RF server. i am thinking about running one from home every now and again but don't want it to drain all of my downloads.
cool man thanks. i'd need some advice too on the best way to configure it as well, most of it i can work out but the little fiddely bit i'd need some help with.
If u set up RF server , u aint have to worry about what ur download speed is for u , u should
worry about how the Rf server behave when player playing in it , and u go start downloading
movie's , music and so on. Olso it depends on how fast internet u have UP/DOWN stream.
Like Digital say , 1 mbit up can hold about 28 , or like here about 40 players in 8 servers.. I have
it stand alone, so nothing here uses any Ram of what ever ... If u run it on the same PC
as u work and download, upload than it could be hard to run RF server.

absolutely right digital_ruler i want to keep within my download limit. i have 30 gigs a month and don't want to have a too large of a portion to be taken up by this server. thanks for your input animator and my connection is 1.5Mb/s down and i'm not sure of the updoad...
i use all of my donwloads every month and even though it doesn't cost any thing extra if i go over, it's still nice to enjoy broadband speed throughout the entire month.
I highly doubt you would use 30gb of traffic with an RF server, but I might be wrong. I can measure some stuff for you.
Those who are more mathematically-inclined than I am may be able to make some educated guesses.
There is a quit easy programm that count ALL up/down stream from the PC u work on. I
use it for all stuff i run , so could not tell u how mutch 1 server takes, i have several hundreds
gig up down month.
NETMETER , google it ...
But now the trick ....
If u have NETMETER installed , run 1 RF server , get it full whith players and
look how mutch it takes in 1 hour . Sure the server aint full 24 hours a day
but if u kno how mutch it uses 1 hour .. u can make some count s by urself.
If the RF server is empty , u have little up/down , its generated by the programms
run in the background ( thats normal ) .
I hope helped u little , if any question .. post here ill respond asap

I'm not worried about using the whole 30gb with the server. but i use the downloads for lots of other stuff and hate going over the limit and since i won't be around most of the time when the server is running, i don't want it to use a huge proportion of my downloads for say the daily average that i need to keep in order to stay under the limit.
