I recently purchased a 2ghzs server with 512 mb's ram! Im running windows 2000 and I'm connected at 500 gigahertz with a 100 megabit upload!

I want to run 4 25 man servers and one 32 man server so i figured the max rate formula as 12,500,000kbs divided by the sum of (132X8)!
which equals 11837.121212....

so I've set my maxrate to 11000!

Is this too much, I would make more servers but each game takes about 95 megs of ram and anything over 5 would probably crash the server?

Should I set it lower around 8000 or does a higher rate help?

Also I've noticed that other people that get on the servers have different rates some 4000, and some 25000 and lots of different numbers in between! What r those numbers are they accurate what causes them and can I change them so that all people on my server run at the same rate?

Also r there other settings I can make to lessen detail a little, or something so that my server's will run better?

I would try 4000 or 5000 for what your doing; or try extreme like 999999999999 like I did for my JK2 server; It seemed to help.
cool:

The client rates are set by the player in the game settings: 56k, cable/dsl, lan, etc. They will try and use up to that amount of data. If you set a maxrate on the server, that is all the data the client can have and no more. High bandwidth clients will try and take as much as possible thats why this is an important setting for the server.
The default maxrate is 9000 which is just fine for running a good game. Setting it higher is a waste, setting it lower starts to degrade game play.
Detail is set by the client not the server.

So I can cap it off at 9000 and save the bandwidth!

I know that graphics are displayed by the user, but I was thinking if the game was set at lower settings mybe there would be less lines of code sent to user! Probably not a big enough change anyways! I was just curios If anyone had any tweaking know how!

Thanks again!
