I'm on a 24Mb plan and can get most stuff, depending on the source, at around 900kb / 1.2 MB /sec but it still takes me anywhere up to 15 minutes to download enough stuff to begin playing when the server is set to run a mod. My theoretical download speed is 3MB/sec but there are too many factors to list that would slow it down to the speed I actually get. Maybe I'm too impatient but when I pay for a game and pay server fees, it would be nice to just be able to click and play instantly.

....and thats why the CoD server rotation has Mad Mod Monday (CoD5) and Extreme Sunday (C0D4) gives 5 day of Vanilla, for all the players that live outside NSW with retarded download speeds

But seriously even 10 mins download wait is too long, and for the ones that can't wait or have limited download and speed, the hard re-boot and potentially corrupted data is worth getting shitty over

Well I am on a 1.5Mbit (1500/256 ADSL) plan so anything I have to get takes a lot longer than most to get. Just as well I don't play the game.

Can't get much faster either as my max sync is currently 2.9Mbit and it was a lot lower till I got my phoneline fixed.

In general

I'm on a 25gb plan (mb) Just for note:

1. I download the map
2. I upload the map to the FTP (game Server)
3. I upload the map to the HTTP server (redirect)
4. I then download the map in game to make sure it works before releasing to others.

And this is because I and others enjoy COD4/5
You will not hear me complain about 15minutes to download. I have to tranfer about 140-150mb for every map. If I get a glitch I start again.

Hey I only want to turn on the computer and play, you may say:

Great same maps same gametype everyone knows all the places you can hide, players then get the shits and leave.
Why do developers add map packs, changes sequels
because they want the game to continue. The last update was 581mb for 3 maps and some code changes.

But thats probably ok I guess..!

Oh that's right Fitters has come over the the light side

At least 'node do not count uploads to your monthly quota.
And not forgetting all that midget porn on Usenet.

Alfie tells me it was a deliberate mistake to see who noticed.

Don't feel much different except I'm paying $30 more than I was just to get ADSL2 AND it's still $15 more thatn what it should be because NODE don't have their gear in stinking Telstra exchange ... gggrrrrrrr

I have the same speed as you mate, but to me once i get it it's there and then it's time to play, I get capped after 15GiG of down loads, witch is hard with a wife that like's to down load movie's as well. But we get by. I get sick of playing maps that you sporn and before you get your weapon up to fire your dead. That is why i put up with the down load speed and once it's do i am there for the gaming.

To get ADSL 2 i have been waiting for Telstra exchange to be upgraded and we (my wife and I) and others asked for it as soon as ADSL2 came out, and still we wait......
