How to increase Codeforces speed?

Revision en5, by DeadlyCritic, 2020-04-17 03:12:38

Nowadays tuns of people are in quarantine because of covid-19, so it increased visitors of lots of sites, including Codeforces and caused Codeforces' hosts to overload. So what should we do? In the time that we are bored of staying home and Codeforces staffs(and problem setters) are doing they're best to bring us nice contests, what should we do to help them?

I know that some games' servers brought a feature that you can(if you want) use your computer as a host to help them(specially in Minecraft servers, they give you in-game items if you help them for example). I know it's a little forbidden to use this method but i think it will be much better if we could help Codeforces that way, but it needs staffs to make an app or whatever. It will cost much less for Codeforces to make an app and let the community help themselves instead of buying lots of hosts to improve the speed.

It can be used for example when Codeforces' servers are down, or they are overloading(it happens sometimes that lots of codes are submitted and are waiting for judgment), but sadly it will be harder to use this method in online contests, but truly a way to stop queueforces specially in system testing time after the contests and normal times.

I believe lots of people are ready to help Codeforces in that way. Please let me know if you have any other idea about how to help Codeforces.

Please comment below your ideas.
