Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2006.12.22 16:43:00 - [1] Tomorrow (Saturday) I'm shutting down EVE-Files. We have been pushing the resources too far and the only option is to shut it down. But before you go scream nooo you son of a biach! It's your own fault, going from movies in the size of like 50MB over a year ago now your movies are 500MB, so blame yourself! So you just have to do something else, coz there is no way I can keep it online - after all the servers need to be shut down in order to add more hardware. You thought I would shut it down permanently? Right... sucker! The part about we've been pushing the resources too far is indeed true, at the point of this post there is aprox 8GB free diskspace for your files, hopefully those 8GB will hold the night since more disk will be added tomorrow. Upgrade list: * More disk * New heatsink for the CPU * Additional heatsinks for the drives * New UPS * OS upgrades/patches (in mind I haven't rebooted the thing since May 27th) * General maintenance I was supposed to do the upgrade on the 24th (X-Mas here in Sweden) but my girlfriend told me off so I have to do it tomorrow instead. There will be another maintenance session at a later point as well since I did not receive all expected parts today, so I am still waiting for some things to arrive but I have enough to perform the first phase anyway. /c EVE-Files \| EVE-Search \| Monitor this Thread

EvE-O should create a donation link on the forums for u. While donations are nice (real or in-game) I think that CCP have more important things to do than to push for my services (you all seem to find your ways there by yourself ). But of course I wouldn't say no to CCP's support or gifts. But as I said before, I don't do this in hope to get anything in return, I just provide a service that is not available but which is needed. My work is done when CCP implement their own hosting linked to a pilots account directly. Originally by: PirateShampoo I think if we did that i dont think he would actually have to work in rl, and within 2/3 months he would b driving around in a lambo laughin at us. Noone can quit EVE, and with that in mind I doubt there would be a lambo, I would most likely push that money into even more hardware and faster connections... /c EVE-Files \| EVE-Search \| Monitor this Thread

Great service chrib Have had that on my mind but I don't like the idea of deleting EVE material no matter how hold or un-accessed it is, EVE-Files is keeping history - and that's how I will try to keep it Originally by: Virida Aww.... If i could come with a sugestion: turn it to a torrent site, so ppl can get hosted dribbles of downloads of the files, but, say, needing to host their own super large 1gb movies. Tried it, torrent wasn't that useful, plus it is nice for everyone to have one place where a lot of things is stored. But yes I've had thoughts of using torrent for the larger files, I might be forced in the future but until then I will do my best to keep it like it is or make it better.

I'll have to check it out. I wish I could figure out how to set up a server. It seems so easy but I could never get it to work. What size hard drive will you be using for storage? Tbh if you are having an idea to run a similar service like EVE-Files I think you should give it a thought or two before getting into it (based upon 'I wish I could figure out how to set up a server. It seems so easy but I could never get it to work.') as it involves a whole lot more than just setting up a server (hardware, internet-connection, software etc). After the upgrade it will be around the 1TB class storage (not that much but quite some amount since it's all EVE related). Originally by: Lucifer Fellblade I saw Chribba in 0.0 once.

Butter Fox	Posted - 2006.12.22 19:04:00 - [36] You offer a really great service to this community. All credit to you :)
Thommy	Posted - 2006.12.23 07:27:00 - [37] I think you should continue and expand the idea's to start seeding in torrent aswell. I have been running sites (non related to eve) which offer downloadable games (open sourced, created either fully by myself or with an team of people) by several means like HTTP/FTP link, Magnet/ED2K and torrent to trial and error what the community wants most. Torrents are used by the most people because its rather easy to setup properly and gives the best speed most of the time (peers automaticly become seeds after completing download, or untill they shared 100% or complete / abort the download manually). As with my site i think your community is more then willing to let the torrents run overnight or even longer and it will release alot of resources that can be spend on other improvements (more YARware, coffee for long night, flowers for girlfriend etc). Im sure you allready done most optimisations you can do for your server but you should look into the disk optimising aswell if you didn't do so allready. I will explain, normally you have 1 disk / partition which holds all files which delivers under an certain performance level. One example: With disk optimisation you let an application check your files for extention (if needed) and file size, which it then catagorizes into small, medium and large. You would for example have 3 disks solely created to be optimised for small, medium and large files (cluster size) and the files get moves on the appropiate disk. I first experimented abit with that idea myself and found that it can give boosts upto 500% for certain files. Better possibility's rise with this aswell as you can manage outgoing traffic much better this way (you can for example cap small files to large speed, medium files to average and large files for slower speeds or what you prefer). Maintanance will be alot easyer aswell as you can let the disk checking processes (antivirus, defragmenting etc) finish alot faster aswell (large files can HOG up alot of the processtime it otherwise could have spend somewhere else). There are alot of things you can do to optimise your servers and services and if you have any questions or choke points you can ask me aswell as i know a few tricks here and there (not limited to hardware / disk IO).

James Duar Merch Industrial	Posted - 2006.12.23 09:10:00 - [40] In fairness I really wish people would compress their videos more. While it's nice to see the awesome, it's not 500mb worth nice (i.e. the EVE client).

Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2006.12.23 16:52:00 - [60] Update on current progress. Things screwed I got a BSOD when upgrading the OS, much fun, couldn't do jack as it kept starting the setup every time and died shortly after. Managed to solve it and the software upgrade went fine. New harddrives are in place and the storage shortage is no more (for another few months). UPS connected and running, heatsink - next time perhaps. Patches and such are fine. I will hold you to wanting it to be online a while longer, I am expected to show up at a dinner party in 15 min and I prolly have at least 1-2 hours left of moving files, defrag, general lazyness - so I'm just gonna leave it doing the defrag and go to my party Hopefully the defrag is done when I get back home tonight but I figured another few hours is something you all can stand (if not I will accept it as your x-mas present to me - the waiting ). Anyway have a good evening and I'll be back with an update later tonight.
