Thread: cache hosting question

hmm okay well I am somewhat vps stupid lol

I have a 16gb vps that has 200mb up/down a second.(epic imo)

and well yeah how would I go about hosting the cache off that? How can I set download speeds for that specific download? etc.

Like I said though I am fairly vps stupid so be exact haha

You cannot limit a download speed on a file... you can limit an upload speed but not a download given that the utility program has a feature the download just depends on the client and server's speeds of downloading which is taken into consideration, but I don't see the need to limit a download speed... unless your using the VPS for multiple uses... unless you can use some sort of virtualization on it.. but it's a VPS if I'm correct so that would be out of the question... Sounds interesting will keep updated to this thread to see how this turns out.

- Keep us posted & Goodluck.

Yes you can, most web servers have bandwidth throttling functionality (either built in or as an additional module to install.)

so how would I host it on the vps? ( I assume I need some sort of web server technology? so where would I get this? )

He's talking about his server not a webserver...

Don't setup a webserver on your dedicated... just purchase a cheaplinux vps a disposable one for like $4 which comes with limited connectivity and host your cache on that... if it get's suspended oh well find another linux vps... you can get alot of bandwidth for $4...

I still don't know how to actually set up the web server on the vps though xD

Okay here is how I would do it

1. Purchase a linux vps... very cheap...
2. Follow the following tutorial [[Only registered and activated users can see links. ] ask your webhost too do it... (they may charge a fee of $5 depending if their managed or not...).
3. Upload your cache.zip to the following directory... /var/www/html/
4. Now, you can use the server's ip... 123.456.789/cache.zip or attach a domain and do [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] decision is yours.

Keep in mind this is basic and might be insecure but blah blah just to host your cache...

Still possible to throttle it in your own program...

well you see this is why I ask...

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

We have an insane connection speed so I want to use this if it's possible haha.
