Greg Scurlock Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 When the GD is ready to go there will most likely be about 500 people all going at it at once. Will this cause any slowdown or download problems? I don't know much about these things but it seems there should be some limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted May 10, 2000 Share Posted May 10, 2000 We think things should go just fine. We had hundreds downloading the Beta Demo and the trailer movie just fine. We hae LOTS of bandwidth, and that is usually the thing that screws up downloads like this. The problem with the Refreshing is that each refresh asks the server to execute a script, and that means processor time. Hundreds can do it at once without a problem, but when people are constantly hitting refresh, or using a program to do so, things get out of hand fast We will also get the demo mirrored on as many sites as possible, as soon as possible.
