Hosting Server Q's!?

[AMDXP]

I have a 384kbps upload, how man player server can I host in CS:S ? I could host 10 before pretty good and am thinking maybe I should leave it the same for more bandwidth.

It's around 5-6kB/sec per player, so with 10 players that's 50kB/sec needed, your 384kbps could work, with some tweaking, but don't expect to fit any more than that on 384kbps upload.

Ok, I hosted ten before on 256 and everyone had 100-160 ping ..... some at 60 but had super fast connections.....

Ok


384 KBps Upload.
AMD 2400+ Mobile and 512 Mb of Ram is what I'm running the server on.

100-160 ping isn't exactly optimal. Unless you want rather sloppy gameplay, I wouldn't suggest anymore than 10 on 384kbps.
