Ran a test...can I have more players?

[[Toast]]

I just ran a speedtest while my server had 5 people in it. The result:


My usual max speed (with no one in it) is about 5200 down/640 up:


The server is currently a 10 slot. Does that mean I could raise it to 14 safely?

And: sv_maxrate 6000

what game?

Day of Defeat Source

Also, I'd like to add that I'm using sv_downloadurl with a webhost, that reduces a lot of the bandwidth I think.

Wait are you running sv_downloadurl on the same internet connection?

[Drocona]

12 players max 33 tick.

bandwidth usage increases exponentially with every player that joins.

Also using sv_downloadurl will not decrease bandwidth usage, since downloading from the server uses 1 player slot (so when you join the server has 1 more slot in use) and doesn't download faster than sv_maxrate.

Does it increase it though?

[Drocona]

It doesn't increase either, it's the same as a player playing on your server.

ok thanks
