Mininova’s Server Setup

What keeps the most popular BitTorrent site on the Internet in the air? In case you ever wondered, here’s the answer.

Mininova is powered by 7 servers in total. They use Dual Opteron V20z and V40z servers with 2G or 4G DDR and a RAID-1 setup, connected to a 80Mbit/s connection (exept the forum server).

  • Server 1 and 2 handle the http requests
  • Server 3 and 4 take care of the search queries
  • Server 5 is the sql server
  • Server 6 hosts the forum (at another datacenter)
  • Server 7 is for backups, the blog, serving ads and some development stuff.
