Also, since right now, we're sitting on two T-1's, which isn't enough for us, since we're a data hub, we're getting a DS3 which is capable of a little under 45 Mbps. Although we'll only be using about half that, it's nice to know it's there, in case the techs ever want to get a network game of Unreal going.

United Bimmer's connection is going to be over double that (DS3).

haha

Boys and girls, that just shows you how hooked up this site is, with Harry runnin' the show. We now have a faster connection than a main datacenter hub for a major corporation. It almost brings a tear to my eye.

Assuming this all goes according to plan, I might move to the new server tonight. The way I have it setup, there'll only be about 5 minutes of downtime. (The server should never go offline, you'll just see a message saying please wait during the transition period)

^^Tell us when, so we can all be a part of UB history and stare at the message while repeatedly hitting Ctrl-R

**94bmw325i** · 08-27-2005, 06:52 PM

the first day you switched to this server everything worked, now since yesterday everyones avatars looks messed up, kinda like the tc when it has horizontal stripes of diferent colors, like green, blue, red,etc.

I replied to the other new server thread about this. The avatar corruption issue has been resolved, but you might need to clear your temp. internet files to see the fixed versions.
