How much bandwidth would I need?

I'm thinking of running a UT2k4 server. And I was wondering how much bandwidth would I need to run a public server for 24 ppl? Per hour or per minut or per second...

24 * 8 * 10000 = 1920kb/sec upload

(10000 is maxinternetclient rate)

[legacy-sllik]

wait, why did you do * 8?

byte to bit conversion.

Frogger,
So, with a small reduction in MaxClientRate, could one expect to have a few additional people?

Also, spectators take the same bandwidth that a player does, correct?

yes and yes....5000 is a good minimum to cap it to though to prevent bad connection all around...
