Bandwidth Counter

Post by hhsdc34 »

I'm sure this question has been asked, I just wasn't able to find it. How accurate is the bandwidth counter on the server option? I've been noticing that my download limit varies with what the bandwidth counter is telling me. I have a download limit of 1.5gigs on one of the servers and New Pro is showing a bandwidth of 700megs when I top out. I'm sure that the news support will tell me that it's the software but I'm not sure that's the case. The other servers seem to agree with the bandwidth counter.


TIA

the bandwidth count is accurate, it just counts bytes on socket read/write operations.

also they charge you 1.5GB and newspro shows 700MB and not the opposite :)

even if they count all data in packets on the lowest level, 100% overhead seems too much.
