Saturation Party

Tom Miller

Your Invited to a "Saturation Party"!
Why am I posting this message in the FrontPage newsgroup? 1) Except for the
Chat system the site was re-developed using FP2002 (and will be re-developed
again, no doubt as I get better). 2) The server in question is Microsofts
IIS running under Windows 2000.

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. (e-mail address removed) 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,
