hey my friend is hosting a server and it continues to go through lag spikes that affects everyone in the server.
i think the server is hosted on the west coast of America, but i am not sure. i think he set the minimum ping thing to 250 as the max.
can someone help?
torrents lag up your server and try restarting once in a wile
restarting fixes what?
Try buying a server closer to you and your players.
A dedicated server (as Paradox said) is a good idea, but in this case I think we should also mention, that hosting a Trem-Server on the same machine that is used for playing and only connected to the net via cable/dsl/dial-ip is generally considered a stupid idea.
i believe he plays on the same machine that hosts the server with.
that may be the problem, i will consult him about this.
thanks for all the help!

whats wrong with doing that i do that all the time with a 100mb connection and no server lag
'100mb connection'
this answers your question, (please please know what you're talking about before you say something.)

A real connection, such as one you get in a datacenter or colo facility.
(10Mbps duplex, un-fiddled with)
