Well, for one thing, that traffic number just messed up a couple days ago. We are actually at around 750GB of bandwidth. Still alot, but because it's torrents, it is not actually bandwidth on the site server. Now, don't get me wrong, the server uses plenty of bandwidth, some for every person who is using every single torrent constantly. So it's nonstop. But that number is supposed to represent how much data our users have transferred to each other.

The website just logs it all, with updates literally going on constantly. But I am on good servers, and they are handling the load quite well. So at the time, we're doing "alright". However, in the future we will probably need to upgrade to dedicated servers with more bandwidth. But that isn't cheap at all, so I'm not sure how I will handle it yet.

But yeah, that number is off for some reason. I noticed that it changed the other day. I'm trying to figure out how to get it back.

Ok, I just fixed it. Somebody had a recorded ratio of over 1.2 million! Apparently in one day they uploaded 954 TB of data. Now THAT would be some ISP!

Anyways, I changed it back. I think the number there now is closer to the real numbers, but not exact. It's alright though, as it doesn't matter much at our site.

I thought it was just a common error which changed the GB to TB, and that we have infact exchanged 800GB or so in data.

Anyway, I'm back seeding.

Does anyone who has downloaded my Alien pack have any comments?.. would like to know what you guys thought of it :)

Thanks for uploading these xsub! I will grab them in the morning when I get home from work(another all evening and nighter) and I will seed them for a while, and keep them available whenever someone needs them.

And thank you Andrew, good stuff you have there!

My poor laptop at home is getting owned by 7 leechers on the same torrent, haha! .. And yes, as I'm sure you have guessed, it's the 480mb one.

What a great site! These kind of sites are highly appreciated and hopefully there will be more and more registered users in time! Thanks!

11 GB / second?? Some service provider indeed!

If I could find that kind of bandwidth for what I pay now, I'd switch! :hyper:

I was just going to post that! I noticed it last night before bed and I've stayed away from KVR today.

But yes, congrats to all! I don't have any prizes for you, but you can feel special!

By the way, I'm working on some things to add to the site. There is more to come, despite it being a bit slow right now. So stay tuned! Things will pick up!

Now if we could JUST get more people to upload their songs!

I highly recommend that you link the flash tutorials I made Brent.. People don't know how to add files, and a flash tutorial like that I've made would be a huge benefit, I'm sure.

Oops. I thought you said you were going to do it? Maybe I heard you wrong. I just thought you had mentioned doing it cause you had spare time that day. Sorry.

Now that you're up, koolkeys, what should I do about the music I tried to upload. I can't figure out a way to delete the torrents I uploaded, nor can I figure out a way to edit them to be directed at the proper folder.

I = dumb.
