How's it managing to use 40GB a day? Do you have loads of custom maps, sounds, skins and so on?

lower your sv_maxrate a little by little until you/other players start seeing choke/loss then up it a bit and that's your new sv_maxrate. that will be about the only thing you can do unless you lower slots.

i find it unlikely it'll be taking 40GB traffic to run 1x32 man personally...
the server i run has 196 slots in use over 7 srcds instances for TF2 and DODS and gets about 3.5TB traffic a month or around 120GB/day
the 3 DODS ones are all in the top 30 and the 4 TF2 ones in the top 80 in the world

mrviper, it might look like 66 tickrate because of your rates. In your server.cfg make sure to put sv_minrate 33 and sv_maxrate 33. This will lock it into 33.
@Technik, I am no expert, but instant respawn probably has something to do with it.

Oh well I thought instant respawn was something special.

maybe he's transferring custom maps
