Internet usage

[rowlanm]

Hi

I'm a long time user, first time poster...

I want to set up and run my own server, but i have some questions for those in the know about tekkit's internet usage, is it a high usage program (10-20Gb a month) or is it as i expect? and a reasonably low usuage a month?

My plan is to run it from an offsite location and a friend and myself will connect via the multiplayer option on the client side. I understand it is going to be much higher depending on how many users and how much activity, we plan on using it mostly GMT evenings and weekends on a rather ad hoc basis

if anyone can help i would be very appreciative

also i have a terrible memory and I am sending this from work, and havent had a chance to see if there is something similar already. sorry if there is

thanks

i'm currently seeing between 30kbps and 400kbps per player on my server, depending on the enviroment.

30 kbps from a player in a new world vs. 400kbps from a player with many machines around him.

Edit: The 400kbps player could play about 60hours per month before hitting the 10GB traffic cap

I believe zero's estimates are correct.

You also have to take into account any physical server activity ie: updates, config changes, ftp, map downloads, remote desktop, whatever you do to manage your server.
