DS500

Lets see how this works out. If it is too weak i will chose the bigger one to replace my worthless Binge Boxes once they run out.

I also have some interest on that. Most of the dedicated servers I saw were much more expensive than that DS500 and it seems better value-for-money to have a few different VPS boxes instead. But for that price with 3 clients there may have some benefits.

Once I have set it up and have it running for a while i can tell you if it is worth it.Theoretically it should do far better then 3 VPS since I don't have to share with others.

Not sure if there is a single VPS provider worths recommendation but this [www.photonvps.com] PhotonVPS simply needs to be put in permanent blacklist. Never able to sustain trust above +400 and always drops below 0.

Maye we should add the Providers we tested into the first post and rate them.
Everything that creates more hath for the same money as Tenbs Adopt a Server Initiative and stable is good (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

I may eventually be lazy to maintain it so it may be better for you or someone else to open a new one. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blush.gif)

Another question (for everyone) out of curiosity: Will you move your cache if you need to move server?

Are there any details as to what generates hath? What is the difference between a 20 hath server and a 6 hath server.

Only thing I can figure out is that there seems to be a base 3 hath per day regardless of files served (or maybe that's just the first day, i'm new to this).

It is probably a mix of files served and Connection Speed.

Don't worry it is normal to have something slightly above 3 at the first day since it needs to build up the Cache before it can do a lot of work.

The original formula is known, but some factors have been tweaked since that message. The following table shows the minimum client speed and number of files served daily in order to bring in a particular daily hath rate, if the original formula were still correct:

CODE

Hath/day      Speed test   Files/day
       1         17 KBps           0
       2         42 KBps       3,456
       3         79 KBps       7,846
       4        131 KBps      13,421
       5        208 KBps      20,501
       6        319 KBps      29,493
       7        479 KBps      40,912
       8        712 KBps      55,415
       9      1,050 KBps      73,834
      10      1,540 KBps      97,225
      11      2,251 KBps     126,932
      12      3,281 KBps     164,660
      13      4,774 KBps     212,575
      14      6,940 KBps     273,427
      15     10,080 KBps     350,708
      16     14,634 KBps     448,856
      17     21,237 KBps     573,504
      18     30,810 KBps     731,806
      19     44,692 KBps     932,850
      20     64,821 KBps   1,188,176

At least the speed test factor has changed, as my client gets 20 hath/day with a 12MBps speed.

Somewhere a post exists by Tenboro says that it's based on 300+ connections per minute. That would put it between 432,000 and 576,000 connections for 20hath/day.


Here is some fuzzy math. Total Guess Work. I COMPLETELY MADE THIS UP. I think it sounds good though. If this were wikipedia someone would say Citation Needed! I'm now ready to go work in the Congressional Budget Office!

450,000 Files per day * average 250KB per file =
112,500,000 * 8 (going from bytes to bits) = 9,000,000,000
9,000,000,000 Kbits /24 (hours in a day) = 37,500,000
37,500,000 / 60 (minutes in an hour) = 625,000
625,000 / 60 (seconds in a minute) = 10,416.67 Kbps required speed through a day to average 20 hath a day.

average 250KB per file

Both my logs and my cache disagree with that:

CODE

xxx:~/H@H$ perl -e 'my ($sum, $count) = (0, 0); while(my $l = <>) {if($l =~ m@Code=200 Bytes=([0-9]{4,})\s+GET /@) {++$count; $sum += $1;}} print "".($sum / $count)."\n";' log/*_out
463018.505075218
xxx:~/H@H$ sh -c 'du -bs cache/ | egrep -o "^[0-9]+" && find cache/ -type f | wc -l && echo / && echo p' | dc
432941

It doesn't change you conclusion too much though: one shouldn't need more than a 20Mbps link in order to get 20 hath/day. Yet, if I set my client speed to 24Mbps, the hath rate drops to 15.31 hath/day, probably because faster clients give better users experiences, so they get a better reward.

@Tenboro: may we have the new hath rate formula please ?

I think if you set the client speed, it affect the peak bandwidth - not the average bandwidth -> sometime the demand is high which requires more bandwidth than other times, for example. By setting the client speed, you reduced the capability of the server during peak demand.

Just my 2 cent BTW

Testing out a VPS for the first time here. Went with a BuyVM-512 from FranTech since it was in stock. Transferred over 20GB of cache from my home server last night so I'm still waiting on it to get up to speed.

(IMG:[www.speedtest.net] http://www.speedtest.net/result/2422750526.png)(IMG:[www.speedtest.net] http://www.speedtest.net/result/2422754919.png)

So far I've set my burst to 4.75MB/s and cache limit to 25GB. What is likely a good target for the cache size? I don't really want to push this server too hard considering it isn't dedicated.

I need more slots! Many more slots!

This.

I'd kill for those rates.

They are not kidding on that "(faster than 99% of US)" comment.

I don't understand why G Just G can get so much hath.
Because Tenboro's central dispatcher loves G Just G's clients?
Isn't EU's capacity serverely under-utilized?

And the Hath/Day for nearly all my clients are decreasing these days, although not much change in speed measured / trust (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

It's because I've got roughly half of my servers running H@H. I have two C7000 enclosures with 16 BL460 G7's each (total of 32 servers). one in the US and one in the EU. The EU ones are on 10 gigabit/s links.

To put it another way....

there is a decline in GP but hath is about the same for me.

You'd have to ask Tenboro what percentage of traffic is getting routed to my servers as I haven't noticed a decline. Then again I have however had cache's in the building phase so that may be why I'm getting more GP. However, by score I have slightly less score than 2nd, 3rd and 4th combined. My guess is it's a large amount of traffic that might be affecting other users. I've asked for 3 more slots but still waiting on Tenboro to give them to me not sure I actually asked for them anymore.
