If my provider would stop being a ****ing asshat and give me more than 2kb\\s, I'd check my uptime on my server... I think it's been close to 2 months.

Apparently you can be using "excessive" bandwidth on the 2nd of the month. And apparently, when they give you 3TB\\mo, 1TB\\mo is "excessive".

Already have, my reseller has been talking with them for the past 3 weeks as a good % of their servers have been having the same problem. OVH, like usual, isn't really doing anything about it. But hey, they're selling a 100mbit server with 3TB\\mo for about $35USD\\mo.

I'm buying a new server in less than two weeks anyhow.

Mine is just a glorified desktop.... it is sitting about 5 feet away from me....
Running ubuntu server 7.10
If I didn't like to tinker so much my uptime would be much better.
The uptime on my server is about 2 and a half months now. And it's a laptop, so it's incredibly silent

wow... amazing that you haven't had any power-outages in that amount of time.

I had my media PC/fileserver up for 25 days until yesterday... when the power went out for no appearent reason in my town.

It could have been a laptop with a battery or a computer connected to a UPS.

On the other hand, there has been no blackouts in my area (in Denmark) for the past 5 years.

I have to bring mine down once a month to clean it, thanks to my wife's cat (at least that's what I'm blaming it on). Plus there is there occasional thunderstorm in the spring/summer that knocks out power...and winter storm that knocks out power. I'm beginning to think I really need to move.

Mine is hooked to a ups and power has gone out a few times but only for a max of a few minutes, so it wasn't affected. I guess i've been lucky... *knocks on wood*

My server had an uptime of about 3 months, up until 5 mins ago. When the power draw of my server and router killed my 500VA UPS.

I must have been running close to the limit for a while, because all I added was another two hard drives!
