Hello all
I've been searching but couldn't find the answer to the question:
How many bandwidth(uplink) do I need to run a server per player?
At the moment i'm hooked up to the internet with ADSL 768/128.

Best way to do it is trial and error. start with 8 or 10, then bump it up till it lags. Dont forget though, you need to leave room for an admin or two. So if it starts lagging at 12, drop it to 10, so we have room for admins.

Thnx Maury, I'm going to try it.

Yeah, no problem. I may not be the best choice, as i am not tthe most knowlegeable on the servers, but i'll do my best to answer you.

that 128 up is really holding you back, you would only be able to get about 6 in there and that is pushing it. i have 1.5MB down/ 180 KB up and i can do 8 with a little lag.
