Scratch

I have talked to an xTreemhost employee and the chances of getting the Scratch Live host flagged is high because the clients are requesting data from the server every 0.5 seconds. And that's just the Abuse Detector, if this gets past that, then there will be the bandwidth limit, which probably won't be passable.

Math for time it takes for one person to idle on ScratchChat: 10KB ( estimate of 5KB every 0.5 seconds ) per second * 60 seconds ( 1 minute ) = 600KB * 60 minutes ( 1 hour ) = 36000KB * 24 hours ( 1 day ) = 864000KB / 1024KB = 843.75MB per day

So if someone wanted to idle for 121 days you would reach the 100GB limit. Now since that is just one person, it will be cut in half for every person that idles.

1 person = 121 days
2 people = 60.5 days
3 people = 30.25 days
4 people = 15.125 days
5 people = 7.5625 days
6 people = 3.78125 days

You can probably see where this is going. Once about 12 people are idling it reaches the hours it takes and then 20 reaches minutes it will take to clean out the bandwidth limit of the Free plan which I think is what JD1 is using.

And that is just ScratchChat, other people are probably using ScratchLive as well.

Is there a possibility of finding a way to use less bandwidth or make it so the server sends the data out to the clients instead of the clients needing to request the data every 0.5 seconds? I've created the Python code for a Python server, but it requires a Python mirror connected to it and Scratch, which is even harder to use than the current Scratch Live.

Is anyone good at Squeak programming that can create another Remote Connections so instead of another program connecting to Scratch, have Scratch connect to the program? Something like Mesh, but with an external program instead of another Scratch program?

Maybe even make those blocks for Panther?

how to u get the usernames and passwords of scratch accounts?

If I host a copy myself, will this problem be fixed?

Is it possible to bother the MySql server without the php? I think that might be faster and use less bandwidth?

It could be possible. You may be able to create an external script (with Python or some other language) and then have that script connect to the MySQL server and request there. But that still wastes bandwidth for checking every 0.5 seconds, which is why I suggest coding the server manually instead of using HTTP and MySQL.

If you really want it, I could get you a copy, but no one will be on. Also, it's not the best system.
