any chance we can beg someone in SA to house our server?
internode maybe hehe

Not a hope, costs too much. Just found out that the server is still waiting to be couriered. Wont be in Adelaide until next week.
GU - giving everyone the freedom to post whatever they want...
so long as we can all pay them out if they missed an earlier thread on the same topic!
I might be heading up to sydney for a day trip in 2 weeks. I can probably fit in an hour or so to plug it in.
any news on the server?
instead with all the donations GU gets, if there are some still? can we just pay for a dedicated ADSL2+ line into OD's or recs house?
GU does about 50gig traffic a month. And that's JUST the website - throw gameservers into the mix and it's nowhere close to being a doable proposition. I'll be redoing the box from scratch while it's here and have a few other ideas on how to make sure we don't have extended downtimes again - more on that soon.
got to remember, most of GU's traffic is outbound. ADSL2+ is not well suited to handling that task.
how much does T3 cost?
you'd have to move to America for it. australia doesn't do T-x lines. but the equivalent is basically cost prohibitive. the gu hosting is a good deal, and there is more redundancy and remote rescue options planned for the server to hopefully avoid this in the future
