Ah I see, I figured it would be pretty low considering many people still have dial-up. So I'm looking at about 30 KB/sec max with 5 people. Thats not bad at all... I'll still have plenty of upstream to spare. Thanks a lot man!

On a side note, I was reading the server setup guide. I already have MySQL installed and configured on my server, but I do not use the InnoDB storage engine. I'm currently using MyISAM. Will that cause me problems down the road? Or should I just go ahead and export my current databases, switch to InnoDB and import my old DB's? That seems like my best bet, as I don't believe using InnoDB will break any of my other projects.
