Weather server bandwidth.

[Nossie]

Can I just confirm - is this what I should expect for transfer to a web server? For a weather server 500mb a day seems to be quite a lot - thanks.

This is depending of how often you upload.
Realtime data is about 2,5KB, Normal interval (mostly the .json-files) about 1MB.
Then there is End of day-files and also if you are uploading extra files.
So if you have very small intervals you could reach 500MB per day.

If only a few k is being updated - this seems pretty god damn excessive.

If only a few k is being updated - this seems pretty god damn excessive.

It's not just a few k though. For realtime.txt - if you use a 10 second interval and it is 2.5k a time, then that is about 20 megabytes by itself.
Probably similar for realtimegauges.txt. Then you have the JSON files, as Sutne says.
It all adds up.

For my "realtime" stuff; realtime.txt, realtimegauges.txt, realtime.xml (17KB) is being uploaded every 4 seconds. It works out at 367MB a day.
The 15 minute upload interval of another file works out at 4MB a day.

It's also adding lines to SQL databases and sending to third-party sites, that'll add up too.
