Distance From Demo Server

[TCon88]

Ok im attempting to d/load the demo from 3DGamers, at first i attempted to use the netherlands server but it was full so i used the australian one. I was just wondering if my d/load will take longer as its coming from australia and whether i should just wait for a spot in the netherland one
Any help whould be greatly appreciated

Hello TCon88,

Yes, that can be possible, it has to pass more relays and routers. But downloading close at home is no guarantee for better speeds.

I've downloaded files from all over the globe. I've had 40-90 kbs from far away and 4 kbs near my home!?!

Speeds vary greatly and you better pick the one you think is stable and reasonable.

Dunno...but i think that if the server is closer there are less "hops" involved and may resukt in a faster dl, in my ase i'm not too fussed, 7 more hours on Fileplanet for the thing to dl so wish me and my 56k connection luck!

Lol good luck chimpyang, i got another 11 hours on mine till it finishes
Thanks Tosa, ive managed to get 7% done from the australian server and ive got a resumable download manager so i should be able to get it done in about 11 hours, lucky me....

TCon88,

Where are you from at what kind of connection do you have?

[TosaInu]

Oh UK. I'm from The Netherlands and will put the RTW file on my server within a few minutes.
