Bandwidth skyrocket

[FuZe]

We just upgraded to the latest Linux server (2.0.19.51) and our bandwidth has about tripled!

Changes on the new server:

TS software upgrade.
server is now in public mode, not clan mode
Every channel on the new server has long descriptions

124 Channels (old server had 320)
fresh MySQL database (everyone reregistered through web interface)
lowered codecs (from 14.8 to 12.3 and less on some channels)

We have, on average, 150 players on it at any given time. We used to do about a gigabyte a day when we were using 14.2kbit codecs. Now, with the server upgrade and the redesign, we use about 3 GB/day. Anyone know what could be going on?

using the same codec or a better/higher one?

Well,

if you really are using a lower codec now (12.3 vs 14.8), then there is only one sollution for tripple in bandwidth usage: More talking ! :)

Edit: I just noticed something...you say you have 150 users average, and you had 320 rooms on the old one, and now only 124 ?? I guess this means fuller rooms, which of course increases the bandwidth usage ! (With 2 guys in a room, and one talking, the server is recieving one stream, and sending one stream.....with 20 guys in one room, and one talking, the server is recieving one stream...and sending 19).
