New Updater
« on: June 06, 2005, 10:08:09 pm »
I think that the actual updater is simply TOO slow.. on 1.2 adsl, it\'s downloading at 8 kb/s... and there are 225 mb ...
Why not implement an intelligent p2p updater, that work like a torrent? ppl that already updated the client share a portion of the upload band to the other client, and the central server work as a tracker.. Torrent was created to do this... simple (i dont know , really) and efficient, and i think the dev can use some other gpl software to implement this..

The new patches is available as full downloads on BitComet.. This means you\'ll download the entire game again + the new files, but it will go much faster than the update system currently works.

After using the update you might get some extra error msg\'es and major glitches aswell. :/
I think when a new patch is lauched there will be seeded a new download.
