Can too many hacks use up the "max concurrent connections" to mysql databases?
 

Can too many hacks use up the "max concurrent connections" to mysql databases? I am on a shared host and am only allowed 15 max concurrent connections to mysql (I am allowed to turn off concurrent connections in the config.php though) Is there any reason why more mods could affect this?

If so, which mods?

something like torrents maybe

not the mods, just the users. and you'd have to have 15 people at the same exact time trying to acccess the site/view a thread/view anything. Which isn't all that many.

15 current connections... damn, your host is pecky... i have 200 on mine... lol

a connection is made when starting to load a page, and it is closed when the page is output... any number of hacks can't change that, as the connection is kept until the output of the page...

IMO , a hack like torrents , constantly keeps check / request some information from the database , as to how much a user has uploaded / downloaded , which in turn allows / disallows him to access new files .

Yah, my host is bad. I'm thinking about going to a dedicated server real soon.

What is your host?

Stay away from A2webhosting. They SUCK bad... I use 1and1 packages are very cheap and service is incredible.

I think he is using site5.com for hosting.
