Since it was time again to beg for more money to keep this place running, I decided to rethink paying €40 per month for a virtual server with 2 processors, 35GB storage and 4GB memory. The people @ EuroVPS really like to run a lot of virtual servers on each physical server, making ConCen feel slow. A recent crackdown on tracker abuse (clients sending hundreds of bogus requests per minute) made it a little better, but not much.

I recently modified the tracker software to identify IP addresses that were pestering the tracker by sending large amounts of bogus requests. I then set up a mechanism to ban those IP addresses. As a result, the server seems a lot happier, at least from my end.

Let me know if you noticed it feeling a little snappier, please!
