Server problems.

[Zer0]

Hi there!

 

I am having some problems with my server. 

When some random person connects, it takes a while to connect and after a minute of 2, the person disconnects direct.

i have a log file of this action and it says:

 

Console log:

Redirecting client 'ALEX' to http://maps.server10.nl.ycn-hosting.com/213.108.29.154-27010/etpub/z_Classicks-Soundpack.pk3

Don't know why it takes so long to connect, because i have a redirect.

Does this happen to all players trying to connect? Could be happening because the redirect is missing the file the client is redirected to download.

OR the redirect is super slow and client times out before downloading the file. I had couple of friends hosting their files on YCN redirect and it always had super slow download. 

 

Try other redirect service: 

 

http://www.gameservers.com/redirect/

well sometimes it is slow, sometimes it is fast. you really think its the redirect of ycn?

Well it's 5$/month. Try it out. If that resolves the issue then it's redirect. I once had similar problem with redirect provider in 2008 after that i changed my servers redirect.

yeah i will try, but its strange.

like sometimes its really fast (1 or 2 mb/s) and sometimes its 10kb/s....

That's because it's shared overloaded redirect. They are probably on shared 100Mbps port. i.e. 12.5MB/s. Now if their are 30 players downloading from same redirect at same time.... u can easily do maths... I am sure they might be sharing same redirect within 10-20 servers... or else it would never go to 10Kb/s

 

In internet world good stuff is never cheap.

Lol

 

ok thanks for the information, i am getting the redirect of gamserver.com!

 

Thanks again!

I'd recommend checking out dedicated server hosting first. I've used gameservers.com in the past as both a redirect and a game host.They are decent for the most part but generally overpriced for what you get. I also had a period of time where the server I was on got constantly flooded and crapped out. Its one of the reasons why I switched over to dedicated hosting. They use better hardware and I've had very few issues.
