just to let you guys know, I'm in the middle of ordering a new, more powerful server.  I'll be running everything off of one server instead of two (because the newer servers that my host has are powerful enough to do the job of my two servers.. and then some).

I should start tranfering data over to the new server over the weekend and it will be tested and configured through the end of the month.  Launching before the end of the month.  After the new server is online I'll start working on some scripting to get an all new version of the speedtest online.  Some exciting changes are around the bend.  Smile

Oh, the servers always break the bank... it takes allot to host a site that's this popular.  Razz

But I'll actually be saving a few bucks a month going to the one super server instead of the two less powerful servers (that are still really super servers, lol)

It looks like the new server is going to be a

Dual Intel Woodcrest 5130 Dual Core Processors
Hard Drive(s) HDD: Two 250GB SATA RAID Hard Drives
100 Mbps Uplink
2048 MB RAM (I may change this to 4GB, I'll try with 2GB to start though)

So it's basically a quad-core system with a S#!t load of resources.  I currently have two Dual XEON 2.8 GHz servers with 1GB ram each and two 80GB drives on each.  So this will be a nice upgrade for us and the single server setup will simplify the whole setup.  Single server setup was impossible when I ordered the current servers because my host didn't have packages with enough bandwidth to suit our needs.  But they now have packages with enough bandwidth and I'm sure in the near future they'll be upgrading the packages (they've been doing that every 6 months or so)... so as our traffic grows and our bandwidth needs go up I'll be okay and won't have to worry about bandwidth overages.

I just gave my host the go ahead to get the new server online so look for this nice upgrade in the near future.  I'm sure that the already fast page requests will be even faster and overall reliability will go up as well.

No - I mean what's going to happen to the hardware?  Thrown out?  Sold?

I'm asking, as I might be interested in buying one for my home here to use as a test platform (if the price is right).    Very Happy

Get this, I found out that if I move my curser up of the screen onto the tool bar the test runs normally. Figure that one out, I don't have any idea why but it works every time and if I leave my mouse curser anywhere but on the tool bar at the top of explorer than it stalls and doesnt run right. buck2 uglystupid2

  OK............who's gonna be the one to solve this mystery?  I really , really can't wait to hear what this one's all about. Although I don't think it's anything but a coincidence.

I have tried it over and over and over and over and beleive me it is not a coincedence. I am using IE7 on XP pro. I should add this just so it is known. While I am not a proffesional Tech I do check and double check things on my own several times over usually before I ask on the forums although I still have been known to miss the obvious annoying little things that make me look idiotic at times, hehehe. This isn't really a big thing but it does make me curious and that was a first time burst test by the way and that is why it is so high, was just using it for an example. It always starts at like 30% on my first test and gives me a burst speed, here is the sencond and accurate test and what I get for speed 24/7 now.

Oh and just for fun here is a test with my mouse curser on the screen while it is running.
