0.2.8_beta3: release process and bugs

Website · Post by **Z-Man** » Fri Nov 18, 2005 8:19 am

The input rate should definitely go to 20 for you. The output rate can stay at 8, that should be plenty; as Jonathan says, it depends on your upload bandwidth. If it's 128 kbit/sec, you can crank the output rate up to 16.
Yes, the AA values are in kilobytes per second, providers usually give kilobits.

I think 12 is more realistic and hopefully leaves some room.

my adsl is 2mbit down / 256kbit up so if I run a server from home my upload rate would be the download rate to clients

what in/out rates do you recommend or shouldnt I bother ?

You should bother about your upload rate/client download rate. You can't control the client's upload rate anyway (and you don't have to). MAX_OUT_RATE * MAX_CLIENTS must not be larger than 32. With explosions, MAX_OUT_RATE needs to be at least 6, as all blown holes are transmitted. With zero EXPLOSION_RADIUS, you may get away with MAX_OUT_RATE 3, but 4 is safer.
And yeah, ADSL isn't suited at all for running servers.

didnt think it was suited

sorry when I said 'shouldnt I bother' I meant shouldnt I bother running a server

Figured I'd post this. "The White Lodge" crashes my client (beta3.2).

Thanks, but it does not crash here. Let's wait for beta4 and see how that goes.

Is there any kind of documentation floating around about the bandwidth limiting ? Outerwise this is a good topic for the wiki, isn't it ?

I have not written any, if you don't count the help strings in the menu. So yeah, go wiki if you like.
