A couple of TCP/PBEM questions

[Flenser]

Apologies in advance for beating a barely conscious (possibly dead) horse, but semi-professional curiosity has gotten the best of me.

I'm still rather baffled after reading through various threads at the amounts of data being sent via TCP. Is every change in every object being sent? That is:

Vehicle A is now at X1

Vehicle B is now at Y1

etc

(next tick)

Vehicle A is now at X2

Vehicle B is now at Y2

etc

Or is something else going on?

And a question about the PBEM: Has the file size been an issue for anyone?

I understand that 10MB per turn is rare now, but as more people start making more complicated scenarios, it might become more of an issue. Haven't checked lately, but I recall most email providers cap attachments at 10MB.

Gmail is your friend: max attachment size is 20MB

Well, sure. It isn't an issue for me (I use Gmail) but I could see it being an issue for others. Not everyone uses Gmail, heavens knows why.

You know this easdy to install & use P2P? http://www.pando.com/ it increases the hability to send e-mail atached files up to 1GB for free.

would be very usable for pbem

I'm sure there all sorts of services you can use to get around the problem. It doesn't make the problem go away. A problem that is likely to get worse in the future.
