Peering and Caching for Epic Games, Fortnite, et al

Tue Mar 23 02:21:01 UTC 2021

Hey!  
I know at least for Valve, you can set up a Steam Caching Server, and say do the top 100 games or whatnot and update it every week or so, that might put you in the right direction. LTT did a good video on this a few years ago, and they also posted this guide on their forums to assist with getting one set up.

I’ve set up two or three for various larger scale LAN parties, as well as run one at home.  Feel free to ping me offline if you want a hand or talking it over!

Thanks Much,

Would love to hear from others about how they're peering and caching -- not having the level of success I'd want with the typical "aggregators"  (they know who they are ) and would really like to link to the source even if it means trenching through the core of the Earth...
