G'day,

I was renting a VPS in Sydney, Australia, running the games listed at the bottom of this thread, all was running fine for 2 months, but it seemed at my peak of running servers, that some form of bug got onto my VPS and was 'taking' high amounts of Upload Bandwidth of the server (500-600KB/sec speeds), and within hours reached my monthly quota, sending me into over-charge fees that I never actually used.

After a month of battling the issue, which involved contacting my provider at the time, which didn't really believe me as I was 100 GB over my limit, they kindly reset it with no charge, but within the first 24 hours of being reset to 0 GB, I was at 26GB used, with no clients on any server I was hosting, even when all applications were closed, bandwidth was still 500 kilobytes a second upstream.

I eventually got sick of it and changed provider, from Sydney, to Melbourne Australia, where all was fine for the first week / week and a half, until now, I notice the bug is back, but this is only as I now have most of them on GT

I would like to know from admins of GT if it is GT that is responsible for a "data-leech" issue that I have with my rented server. I was told to check IPs connected to the VPS and there are none <-- I underline that as people don't believe me on that. Only IP connected to it is myself via RDC.

Any help would be appreciated.

Applications Hosted:

Quake 3 Arena (2 Q3A, and 3 TeamArena)
Unreal Tournament 3 (1 DM)
Teeworlds (3, but not supported by GT)
Vent (1 server, 100 slots)
Mumble (250 slots)

GT scanners would not use anywhere near the bandwidth you are experiencing. Additionally, GT does not constantly scan the server. There is a average 1-3 minute delay between each scan.

What if there were 7+ servers registered on GT from the same IP?.

Other than that, would you have any suggestions of what it could be?.
