169th_Moose Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 I know the server is bussy. Im download at 13KB/Sec. I usualy download at 550KB/Sec. How to you intend to sale FC online with this type of ratio? Are you planning to get a bigger backbone for your connection? I recon you would have no choice...
GGTharos Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 They already have a better plan in place for the actual FC. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
olaleier Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 A backbone is not one unit but a piece of infrastructure (be it 1, 10 or 100 servers) connecting one region to another, like across the Atlantic. ED just needs more bandwidth. :)
169th_Moose Posted February 19, 2005 Author Posted February 19, 2005 And OC3 fiber optic link to there servers might due the trick, verry expensive though :wink:
169th_Moose Posted February 19, 2005 Author Posted February 19, 2005 Im not impress with the present download ratio. No pund intended. but this ratio aint good..... Im a patient by nature but at 13KB/sec, its horrible. Remedy this ....plz...I aint saying more unless requested on the issue. You would need to remedy this. Since its your major source of distribution. I want and will support your endevours. But find a way to boost the traffic. 13KB/sec aint acceptable, no pund intendend. I want to support you all the best way I can. This aint nothing new. Address it and forturne might be at your doorstep... Hope it all works out. Cheers
Kula66 Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 IMHO bit torrent showed its strength ... shame it couldn't be used for the real distro ... send out the image via torrent, then signon to pay & authorise. James

James I agree with you. If I was ED I'd choose this way to distribute the game. That is, download an installer and then register it. So that the installer can be downloaded from p2p networks and/or a list of mirrors and then registered (please NO HW-bound ACTIVATION!!!) I know that the game could be cracked, but is there anything that is not cracked today? Honestly I'm not really eager to download about 1 GB @ 5 KB/s (or less) after I paid for it. ;)
olaleier Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 IMHO bit torrent showed its strength ... Definately. A 290 meg file, I have a max upload of about 55K and in two and a half hours, 60 people had it.

BIOLOG Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 FC would most probably be downloadable from ftp. Withg much higher speed then from website The bird of Hermes is my name eating my wings to make me tame.
benzene31 Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 Honestly I'm not really eager to download about 1 GB @ 5 KB/s (or less) after I paid for it. ;) Hello , Why have you written 1Gb .According to http://www.lockon.ru/?end_pos=9&lang=en&scr=list&page=1#405 we should download only a 250 MB file !
169th_DedCat Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 There is still a very active torrent for the 1.1 demo as well. There are about 29 seeds or so right now, so it looks like a lot of people are being kind and keeping their transfer open after they're complete. I've shared/seeded about 2.62 GB worth since yesterday.

kydius Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 Yeah the bittorrent tracker rules! I just downloaded the demo in about half an hour at an average speed of 300 KB/s :D
