i hope they come out with the download on the mirror on the same day as the torrent my computer hates utorrent,azerus,etc.

thet did that with the first cb release. poor servers. they melted under the strain. some recovered, some were never heard from again.
wow i guess ill have to wait for a few more days or start kicking my computer to get Utorrent downloading above dialup speed  :@#\

Lol, you sound like... um... Dunno, you sound funny XD Maybe I have an idea... Maybe you can do that, bu tmaybe make a limit like 2000 downloads a day. that way the servers won't get strained as much. Maybe less.

then we could lock it *hint*hint*  ;)

Naw. if you close the thread then you will have a million new topics with people whinning. At least here they are contained to one spot. Just don't feed the ramblers (With words) and all shall be quiet eventually. This has happened every update and new client release. Just the norm around here ......

i have a question that i have not seen yet for those of you "old timers" who have weathered the shifting sands of new client downloads.  when this happens will the characters be "wiped"?  i saw hints that we might not appear where we left off.  does this mean we will all start over? or does the database retain the character stats?

Liminting the amount of d/l's per day would mean that people would wait until midnight, and then all 2000 would hit at once. then no more for the rest of the day. If thousands of people d/l this, and a couple hundred seed it, we'll ALL be laughing.

Just an idea...

Anyways...
@Dales: What they mean by "You may not continue from where you left off" is that let's say that you were in Jayoses library at the time, but after the update, you may be in a different place because Jayose's library was moved.

I have heard of no database wipe.  The devs would have surely warned us of that way ahead of time.
The reason for chars not starting where they left off is only because Ojaveda has been moved around a bit.  So the exact coordinates you were at last might no longer correspond to a place on the map.  So they might shift your location if you were in one of these places or just send you back to your race's spawnpoint.  This is to simply avoid logging back in to find yourself in mid air, plummeting to the great crystal to your death.   So I think your inventory should be safe.   :)

..then again I could be wrong.   :devil:

Hi, Why don't you put a quick guide in how to speed up your Torrent downloads ? This should benefit everybody. Maybe put it on the same page with the new release ?

Something like:

HowTo SpeedUp my Download (Please read before downloading PS)

Before doing anything, please ensure PS is the only Torrent you are downloading.

1. Ensure you have oppened the required BitTorrent ports in your firewall
2. Find out your Maximun Upload (You can use this speed test http://www.adslguide.org.uk/tools/speedtest.asp)
3. Configure your BitTorrent client to use 80% of your max upload speed so there is no chocking (If your client does not have this option you can use uTorrent, BitTornado, Azureus ...)
4. Sit back, Enjoy the speed and let others enjoy it once you have finished your download (Did you know you can still play the game after downloading the game ?, You still have 20% of your bandwith for PS

That depends on who posts it. If you want it ot be, go post it before the others do, or wait until someone else psts the .torrent
