mobilenvidia Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Here we are on the new server I think its now running optimally, after some tweaking. We are no long on a 36GB Dual Quad Core HT capable 2x1TB server Completely downsizing now to a VPS (Virtual Private server) Much better bang for buck for a free site We are now on a VPS with openVZ 3x 3.5hz cores 2GB RAM + 2GB vSwap RAM 100GB RAID 10 SSD Due to missing data, we no longer host the drivers We will instead order the new driver links to be sortable in 'series' INFs will still be hosted here as I'll keep on making this. Everything else will pretty well be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSudlow Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Thank you for all your work getting everything up again. It seems to be running smoothly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00000001 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Your new setup does sound a lot smaller. I will miss your compacted special drivers. But I can see the expense also. Note that you can always make new driver versions and then delete them after a month or so, thus keeping a rolling selection of the newest drivers. But if the whole hassle is grinding you down, I can certainly understand that as well. Also, some of the community members undoubtedly have all or most of the past drivers. Anyway, best of luck to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Biggest issue with drivers = bandwidth smaller extend the space they take Bandwidth = $ Most sites keep their driver pretty well permanently Other main issue for me was time, I have 2x growing kids, needing more of my attention And squishing the drivers, and uploading them took endless hours Simply put the drivers are outgrowing my broadband capabilities I choose to live in a remote place with limited broadband The broadband I do have is good for downloading but painfully slow for uploading (20mbps/800kbos) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobilenvidia Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Sorting out SFTP uploading backups to server at home Finding SFTP transfers extremely slow (800kbps) vs FTP (20mbps, as fast as broadband connection) Looks to be a SFTP known issue, I take it it's limited to my upload speed (which is 800-1000kbps) as there are a heap of acknowledgements with SFTP There's about 3GB of backups to transfer In the end doesn't really matter, I can securely do the backups to a device at home thats always on Will just take the server a few hours to do the backup (vs 20min with FTP) at least it won't affect my speeds at home.
