[Last post] And that's why Donations are needed. If we could get half the adult members to pay 5 bucks a month the server costs would probably be covered.

The old one was a proper server as well

By proper I mean a Xeon based OVH server, instead of a hobbyist level Kimsufi.
At least now you'll get proper support and a decent response time...

Great news. Thanks Andy/Mrpijey

Andy · **Post subject:** Re: New Server =) **Posted:** Sun May 08, 2011 11:44 pm

DanielC is right. The SLA times was also a nice upside from upgrading. They might be more inclined to help with DDoS's now (fingers crossed). Anyway server is up and running (as the screenshots show).

I've done a speedtest to UK, Paris and Germany. they came out as:

UK - Down: 120Mbps, UP: 80Mbps
Germany - Down: 90Mbps, UP: 70Mbps
France - Down: 420Mbps, UP: 170Mbps

OVH restrict connections to 100Mbps per transit links so anyone who has to be connected to over transit is limited to 100Mbps maximum. Anyone in Europe will generally be on peering (but not always) so are capable of 1Gbps. We'll do more speed tests at a later date.

Hey Andy you need to change the server cost on the donation page!!

ThePro · **Post subject:** Re: New Server =) **Posted:** Mon May 09, 2011 12:20 am

If we change from kimsufi to OVH, will there be a better international exit?

For now it doesn't even get close to decent :/

Probably not by anything noticable, it's still the same company and datacenter.

Just to compare, tracert from France on ADSL...

Congrats on getting a new server, hopefully this will keep things smooth if another windows 8 thing appears again.

Here is it from Ireland on 8mbps connection running at 1.5mbps roughly at moment:

Speed/ping has lowered/increased after the upgrade, I'm getting 80kilobytes/sec on the FTP on a 30mbit line, and am getting 400 ping as well :/

ThePro · **Post subject:** Re: New Server =) **Posted:** Mon May 09, 2011 1:24 am

The server hasn't upgraded yet.

And the server is the old server stuck at 10mbps

UltimateGTR · **Post subject:** Re: New Server =) **Posted:** Mon May 09, 2011 4:31 am

Love the new server! Congrats and proud of BA! Too bad I don't have a credit card at the moment, I'll donate if I have.

MoonlSd · **Post subject:** Re: New Server =) **Posted:** Mon May 09, 2011 6:15 am

But only browse site not make too much unpleasant.

Just Question: What "QD32" stands for here :

Andy · **Post subject:** Re: New Server =) **Posted:** Mon May 09, 2011 12:54 pm

Didn't know myself so looked it up:

4K QD32 : Random Read/Write Test (Block Size = 4KB, Queue Depth = 32) for NCQ&AHCI

It's for testing NCQ and AHCI compatible drives.

Wow nice server.Now my BA surfing will now improve even if its Leak Rush Day and DDos is nearly impossible.

Lol, far from it... It's never impossible.

Remember at times it's not just one person DDoSing but sometimes a whole hacker network which might easily reach 1 Gbps or more. Look at wikileaks hackers, 20 Gbps!

DMax · **Post subject:** Re: New Server =) **Posted:** Mon May 09, 2011 8:26 pm

The 4 cores with HT, does the HT really make much of a difference? I know at the time the first Pentium 4 had HT, it didn't as software wasn't created to utilise it, and it was removed from Intel processors and then they wanted to bring it back again (not sure if they did in newer CPUs) is it any more useful than it was?

Andy · **Post subject:** Re: New Server =) **Posted:** Mon May 09, 2011 8:27 pm

It can be useful yes, if the software is written for it. As most applications now are multi threaded it can help.

New Server =)
