um how much did those battery back ups run you?

[Boostaholic]

@5445252 I got a lot of the older stuff for free, and I trash even more old hardware.

Often time it costs more in power than a server is worth to spin up

Why do you only have 50mbit internet?

[Boostaholic]

@MYsterYmarcus - 100mbit now.

@MYsterYmarcus If he has a 50Mbit connection that is not consumer or business class cable, that is a fairly substantial amount of bandwidth for hosting. You would be amazed how much concurrent traffic it takes to saturate a 50Mbit link.

lol bet the ups would only power that stuff for a minute..

@ThisMakesMeThink

Not a problem at all :) Great videos by the way...I've subbed you

[ThisMakesMeThink]

@scott93257 haha i'd love it, but fiber in my area would probably cost thousands per month, as no isp even offers it. thanks for the offer :D

@ThisMakesMeThink

I have a Fiber Optic Router you can have. Its collecting dust in the corner with a few other things..

[scott93257]

If you ever throw anything out, throw it my way :) btw those UPS's are HUGE!

[ThisMakesMeThink]

@scraplife try 1mbit. I can handle 18+ people on my alteriwnet server.. people don't even know how much 50 or 100 really is when you're doing something OTHER than filesharing.. If only I had fiber... :P
