Re: A better solution

In Response To: A better solution (Nick)

: Maybe this is affordable for Brian, that I'm not sure of, however I hope this
: helps!

It's a pretty good price for the amount of bandwidth -- it's basically an unmetered 10Mb/sec pipe (which equates to ~3200GB per month). Mythica's traffic pattern doesn't quite fit into that, though... during the day it'd run out of bandwidth (it's not uncommon for it to move 20Mb/sec during the day) and it'd have a lot of excess at night.

To Break Point: There are lots of "$99 providers" out there who provide more-or-less the same service. Tera-Byte is pretty good (I almost colo'd a box there at one point), but they're in Canada. If someone wants to do some serious mirroring, have a look at Rackshack. They're another $99 provider, but with a little more bang for the buck. (files.redvsblue.com is actually hosted there, but I'd imagine it's on one of their more powerful boxes.)

At any rate, folks will probably be happy to know that I've already signed a new contract. Once I get the box back (which, sadly, might be a while) it'll only take a couple days for me to get it shipped out again and installed.
