Expected bandwidth and resources per slot?

[Riley - NZL]

This will vary a lot I'm sure but does anyone have some roundabout figures on Bandwidth/CPU/RAM usage per slot?

Been running my server for 3 weeks an I'm already hitting 10GB's of bandwidth a day.

Mostly asking this question as I'm running my server off my home computer (yeah yeah I know), and am looking at building a dedicated computer to put the server on.

Not sure of the hard numbers, but you obviously have some issues, seeing as my dad hasn't noticed any more bandwidth usage since I started hosting technic battles.

How many people are there generally on your Dads server? Mine is sitting around ~300-500 Kb/s uploading with 8-12 people on at once.

For one thing, it's my server, and I'd say that's about right.

Bandwidth usage can vary from 'similar to vanilla' (there's lots of info on this, so I wont bother repeating) to multiple-megabits-per-second-per-user depending on what's been built. RP2 redalloy wire really uses a lot when attached to a continuously ticking clock. I've had one factory use up to 5mbit/s per player near it. Building with that in mind can save a lot of bandwidth. Ie, use vanilla dust instead of redalloy (even if insulated or jacketed!), or even better having timer outputs directly attached to the machine using it with no wire in-between. 20 timers next to 20 machines uses far less than 1 timer + 1 block of redalloy on the output.
