RTC 0.40 Slow Download

Des · Post by **Des** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 7:28 pm

I'm getting a pitiful 1.6KB/s

Post by **Lunever** » Sun Jun 25, 2006 8:05 pm

Maybe that means that RTC has become more popular.

I got that too, or somehting of the like *shrug* just takes longer to get your fix!

I left it downloading whilst watching the Portugal v Holland cardathon. Alas on my return it seems it must have phutted as I only have 6MB of the file. Think I'll just try again tomorrow when hopefully it will download in seconds (I have an "up to" 8MB line).

Odd, I had to leave it going to, but whenever I came back I got it ok

Still very odd though!

Maybe someone should email Christophe. It's hosted on his space isn't it ?

btw still crawling now.

Actually it's hosted here...so I wonder if, with the excessive search warning we got, there's been some form of bandwidth throttle this month : (

3.9k/s for me this morning... not better

actually a differnt website . it's on the old Chaos.zpc.cz site. A sub site of ZPCs which now just hosts my incomplete graphics set and RTC as well as the few chracter profiles I did once upon a time.

Currently downloading it with a mighty rate of 4,1 KB.

Yes, the actual zip file is held on the ZPC site and the whole of that domain is being very slow - presumably the ISP is having problems at the moment.

Hopefully it will therefore just sort itself out soon...

and after long minutes of download, the archive doesn't extract properly...

could anyone upload it on a temporary mirror server ?

Dunno how long this link will last, not sure what bandwidth I have with my personal space. Anyway get RTC 0.40 while its hot from

simultaneous posts haha

lol, yep, well now we have more BW for all (about 20 or so maybe more) the folks who need it

That's somewhat of an underestimate! The number of people who regularly post might be only about 20 or so, but I get emails from several hundred people and the number of people that download any given previous version runs into the thousands...

Yes, I feared it was. It's great to hear so many folks are into RTC, and as ever thanks and keep up the groovey work.

I haven't tried downloading v0.40 yet, but I've noticed the forum's been running slower recently (say, over the past week). Is anyone else getting this or is it just me? Other sites are working fine for me.

beowuuf · Post by **beowuuf** » Mon Jun 26, 2006 7:23 pm

Umm, not particularly slower...I will sometimes find that it isn't recognised and i have to click go again to get on

Cheers for that - it took less than a minute

Yeay for blueyonder, I've always said they are the best provider in the UK.

Got my copy at last. Thanx to Copperman and Linflas for posting "mirrors". I must have a play with it now to offset my boredom after watching Switzerland v Ukraine.

P.S. I'm pleasantly surprised that RTC gets thousands of downloads. I've always been under the impression that we DM geeks number only a few hundred.

I thought so too Des, and I'm glad it seems there are many more out there. I especially wonder how many people are playing custom dungeons.
