I have set the following in dnews.conf:
max_speed 1000000
The DNews admin tool reports approx 1344364/2309033 total in bytes/s on
average, but yet our switch shows that port pushing out 10mbps when DNews
service is started. When we stop the service, all traffic comes to a halt. Is
there something I can do to stop DNews from being such a bandwidth hog? I have
already removed all binaries groups except for a select few adult ones that I
am required to have on this news server. In any case, what can I do to limit
the amount of bandwidth used on this server? I am using DNews Version 5.4j7.
Thanks!
the speed is in 'bytes per second' your switch is in 'bits per second' so
set
max_speed 100000
that should help.
However, that setting primarily sets the speed users can 'read' news, your
problem is probably the speed
it is sucking news.
To control that change to the pull module by adding these settings.
pull true
pull1 con=1 speed=50000
