Hurrah.
Ladies and gentlemen, after two wrong courier deliveries, two dead
(brand new
) DDR3 chips, one dead
(brand new
) VGA controller and my being away for a week we are finally running on the new server.
Does this practically make any different to anyone browsing the forum, especially as they can't see
(or hear
) it?
Before we moved to the UK the lowest forum load was around 0.360 seconds, when we moved to the UK to my existing server that load time was 0.128 seconds. In the last couple of hours I have seen it as low as 0.046 seconds. That's nearly 8 times faster than in Florida and just shy of 3 times faster than before here in England!
I think that equates to good news for everyone, especially for our stereotype pandering American members who don't like to wait for anything
The plan is to perform some robustness testing and bed it in for a day or two - I've blue screened it twice and want to ensure that the problem is out of the system. After that I will re-open public registration.
At this point, if there is anyone who is serious about providing download mirroring and can meet the following requirements, I'd love to hear from you.
- Server machine that is running 24/7
- Static IP address
- public http web server
(any
)
- private ftp access and/or pptp access
- Is willing to give a minimum of 6 months to co-hosting
(otherwise it isn't worth spending the time uploading to you
)
