Well, that was my server - so I'm to blame. I ran it from my home cable broadband account thinking that they didn't have any restrictions like I was told when I signed up. Turns out, I can unly upload 1Gig per month. The server was churning that bandwidth in 1 night at least. Sometimes it did 1Gig in 12 hours. Their spiders caught me, and were going to eat my account if I didn't stop my addictions! I tried looking at a switch to DSL, but the price wasn't even in the same ballpark as my cable.
Bottom line: the server needs a new home, and I haven't found one yet.

put it on the East coast server, it doesn't get much traffic anyway...
I hate to see all that hardware go to waste!

There's some use of that server, weekends after 10:00PM EST from what I can see, we've got net graphs for the server to show a fair bit of traffic.
I have no idea otherwise why it "seems" empty or not used.

That blows man. It was like one of the best server in SvenCoop, at least different than any other servers. Well hopefully you can find your server a new home pretty soon, everyone else that had your server in their favorites are dying for it since it's a unique server.

It's 600 meg for the mod folder. I can probably compresses it so it can be transferred.
Akira, do you want to host it in the east coast server? I ran it 6 player with 2 reserved slots and it was frequently full.

I'll take one too. I'll try to host one, but I just need to re-install my SvenCoop Server again since the sound keeps on messing up, like how Robo Grunts uses scientist voice sometimes, and I dont know what's causing this. >:[ But yeah, please send me the Mod Folder :]
Here's my Email:

Sorry for doing that, I don't want bots from reaching my mail into signing me up for spam mails.

Akira: You have messages on your hotmail account.
Tassadarmaster: I'll have to hit you up in Feburary since transfering these files will put me over my limits for the month.

Maybe once it's on the east server, he can get it from there?

I'm not sure about what restrictions *I* have... but I have a 'business' cable account and pay a hundred bucks a month, because of it... I also have a couple spare IPs...
...just a thought.

Cool, then maybe you should start hosting a server just for the heck of it and start making some $ when you can always sell admins.
