Subj : Saturation Party on Thursday! To : alt.bbs.lists From : "Tom Miller" Date : Wed Dec 10 2003 01:57 pm Your Invited to a "Saturation Party"! What is exactly a "Saturation party"? My web provider and I are interested in pushing his web server to its limits. We would like to see how it runs under a really heavy load. NO THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR A DENIAL OF SERVICE ATTACK! Please don't! What's in it for you? You can Chat with all your friends in this newsgroup in real-time and/or you can search my collection of over 140,000 files that are online and download anything you want.... How many are needed? I don't really know, but the server is configured to stop accepting connections at 10,000. So any large number (1,500+) should be sufficient for the test. I will be online in the Chat system that night. (My handle is: tlgalenson). WHEN IS IT? December 11, 2003 from 7pm to 9pm CST (CST is -6 from GMT). WHERE IS IT? www.chatnfiles.com If you have a chatroom name you want available, you can send me e-mail and I will create it that evening. tlgalenson@chatnfiles.com I have added a full set of "40 Channels" to my basic chat rooms so that you can find a room with a few enough people you can enjoy hanging out there. Yes, you can chat in 1 window and download in another. PLEASE DON'T FTP. The files portion of the website is available via FTP also, but this is a test of the Webserver not the whole server. So please perform your downloads via the your browser in http mode. I will be posting the webserver stat pages from that night at a later time. Come on down and PARTY! Respectfully, Tom Miller Former TBBS and Tsxbbs sysop .
