Hi,

I was wondering how much bandwidth do Animesuki uses in a month since it is such a popular site?

***NightWish*** · 2004-08-06, 10:21

Depends what you mean by uses. We have a number of front end mirrors, some back end servers (torrent spider, etc.) and the forum. Each uses different amounts of bandwidth... and each is run by a different person so no one person has a complete picture of the bandwidth usage. It would be interesting if they all posted here with some usage statistics though

Pisces_Australis · 2004-08-06, 10:52

So that's the case. Yup, I agree with you NightWish. I'd love to see those amazing statistics!

Yes, let's find out exactly how much of a dent our fandom puts in their pocketbooks. ^^;

Lol, the moment we see a "please donate some $" add on the main site we know we have passed the budget

There is a publicly available site that shows the stastics for this server, as well as others. I forget where its at but I remember seeing it a really long time ago. I'd like to see it again if anyone remembers the address.

Wow...

That's alot of bandwidth.

***GHDpro*** · 2004-08-10, 15:31

Hmm, 1-3 Tb sounds a bit much... but, the main site is using at least 20-25 Gb per day.

And as that kind of bandwidth doesn't come for free, you see why there are ads on the site...

Yamano667 · 2004-08-10, 19:23

Thats no much

its very little

you could spend a terabite if you had anime galleries and hentai CG distro

***GHDpro*** · 2004-08-10, 19:33

Yes, well... that we don't. AnimeSuki spends 1-3 Tb on PLAIN TEXT (well, html) and little graphics.

Note: Mb81 informed me that the 1-3 Tb count IS accurate when you look at the overal picture:
Webalizer (webstats software) doesn't show everything (headers overhead, etc)

NarutoHead · 2004-08-25, 18:13

ok, no one unless you have your own server can take "1-3 terrabytes" and make any knowledge with it. so stop pretending like "wow I know what I'm talking about when I say that's alot.

Sure it SOUNDS like alot, but who knows if it is for this situation.

anwyays- what I'd like to know is,

How do you guys keep up with those expenses?

do you get enough donations? Fill the gap with your own pockets? Or maybe I shouldn't ask this?

How much do you end up paying monthly?

Well, considering my website gets about 1.5GB of bandwidth per month (it's almost entirely just text), in my opinion 1-3 terabytes is a LOT of bandwidth. Then again, I'm only getting about 200-250 unique visitors per day at this point. I can't even imagine how many visitors AnimeSuki must get to pull in 25GB per day.

The admins must get a lot of money from advertising to be able to pay for all of that...

Mr_Paper · 2004-08-25, 21:10

I believe a large portion of the cost is covered by the advertisements that appear on the main site and the banners in the forums.

Pisces_Australis · 2004-09-30, 19:01

But what's more interesting is that how Scarywater can handle all peers! Animesuki can have 1-3TB bandwidth per month, how about Scarywater? Most of Animesuki's "torrent" are directed to them.

I'm really amazed as what Scarywater can do to support such a large amount of peers. Just by Naruto alone, whenever a new episode is released, you can see how much the peers is! We can't see what tracker they run on, unlike others. I guess they must have powerful servers?
