I started running McAfee AV a couple of days ago (it is free from my provider) and found that it has a traffic monitor in the security suite. I have never checked the inbound/outbound transfer rates before so I ran a script after getting a normal reading of my traffic. I am showing between 585 KB and 667 KB for inbound and between 297 KB and 361 KB outbound per minute over a 10 minute period.

What I am wondering is if this appears to be an accurate reading. This script is not one of the fastest, or data intensive scripts I run, but I don't have a situation for those scripts.

My connection is DSL using a wireless N class setup connecting at a reported 300 Mbps. Ping times on the server average 158 MS, and the script is aborting any text that it can.

I run bandwidth monitor 24/7 just to see whats going on. Since midnight my Server has 2.4M Down and 12.67M Up over a 6 Hour period, that is Web Server and TWGS.

On TWGS it has a bandwidth monitor I have rarely seen it get into K's. Average traffic for me is about 5K but that is me using Remote Desktop Manager to remote in as well.

My setup it WIFI to house and a Linksys G router inside but server is on a lan port internally in the house. I found that wifi on the server tends to get interference when I fire up the microwave.

Oh and I don't run any AV on the Server it tends to kick in at the wrong times.

Since the turny began I've uploaded 4.3 gigs, downloaded 700m on the turny server.

k, I was watching the monitor on my side when I was on your server for the time, so my traffic could be fairly accurate. I know people have asked a few times about how much load is put a system, and I think this type of data might be useful to them. Sing's long term data over the period of time that the tourney has ran would also help.

I am also curious if TWGS is accurate on its bandwidth monitor.

I monitored Bandwidth Monitor and TWGS for about 10 minutes.

TWGS reported 30/40 Bps I did see one peak of about 200Bps but it was one packet
BM reported 200/300 Bps Down - and 3/4K Up

Only other thing I have running on that server is the Website and I had no traffic on it during that time.

CPU running 2 -10%
System Memory 296M (running Winxp, Remote Desktop, Apache, Bandwidth Monitor & TWGS)

I am running Intel 2.8Ghz and 2G Ram

Need anything else let me know or someone with a lot more traffic I normally have 4-7 on at a time.
