    Default Just a thought on raising the file size

    considering the improvements in bandwidth that high speed internet has these days i would suggest that using HJSplit should mostly be a thing of the past unless there is some technical reason why the forum cant handle it.

    100Mbyte file sizes shouldnt need to be split it makes posting original content like mine MUCH easier

    Just a thought....

    Yes you are right Mike but this place runs on a shoestring and our biggest cost is bandwidth.

    With over a million downloads a week it is very expensive.

    Having said that I am trying to negotiate a new deal that should help so watch this space!

    im not sure why breaking up the files saves bandwidth....broken downloads maybe?

    technically breaking them up makes them larger (though only by a very small amount)

    but i knew there had to be some reason

    hit up my buddy Chris at M3Servers tell him I sent ya they made a great deal for my dedicated server and gave me 5X my previous bandwidth ( I know have 35TB a month)

    email me if ya need more info man

    its also about server load mike, php has limits set to balance out the needs of upload and download, obviously, overall the file weights are the same, but php can handle smaller sized files better that lager ones.
    if you have a file that's say 100mb, server loads may mean that members will experience timeouts on the larger files instead of hanging on the last couple of hj files.
    we are always looking at ways to improve the situation and make changes as and when there is a benefit to our members.
