Since my squad has decided nosotros mightiness regard selling our Tower Defense game at to a greater extent than or less point, nosotros lastly decided to take away its opened upwards origin label as well as larn smarter well-nigh how nosotros secure our project. So I decided to laid my laptop every bit a Subversion (SVN) server; I know I should actually role a spare server but I don't accept 1 lying around. So I installed SVN server, got the repository as well as permissions laid up, configured my router to forwards the SVN port to a static internal IP address, and... VOILA! I had a working SVN repository accessible via the internet.
Unfortunately my upload speed, which measured .96Mbps on speedtest.net, was providing an abysmal 120kBps download charge per unit of measurement for my squad members trying to update their working re-create of the projection -- as well as let's non fifty-fifty lift the 2+ hours spent on the initial checkout! By comparison, downloads from our opened upwards origin provider were roughly 1500kBps. I was a picayune perplexed every bit to WHY my 1 meg-per-second upload charge per unit of measurement was then deadening until I saw this forum post, specifically the comment past times JC316. Megabits are viii times smaller than Megabytes, as well as when I did the math I realized that 120kBps (120,000 * 8 = 960,000 bits) is the same every bit .96Mbps (.96 * 1,000,000).
The reality is that my upload speed is but besides slow. We don't accept an component to travel out of notwithstanding as well as I don't desire to crunch out $100+ per calendar month for meshwork service but for a meliorate upload rate. We're considering other closed-source SVN hosting services for now, but I accept to wonder...
As an indie startup amongst squad members working remotely over the internet, how create YOU collaborate?
