Maybe that means that RTC has become more popular.

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 : (

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...

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.

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

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.
