drtechno Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Just trying to figure out if I detect a slight delay or irregularity in the loading of the main battlefront.com page (I have the timing memorized by now) will it mean that the demo is released? Of course, the message should be right there on the page once the page loads, but I am trying to pre-empt that by detecting subtle irregularities in the matrix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know but that front page has been hiccupping all morning for me ... normally refreshes very fast then every so many (OK, I am refreshing like a drunk fool) it stalls during loading and I get all excited then nothing. I'm gonna get a Cron job written to monitor it for me, methinks ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stitch Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I don't know about you, but that irregularity on the stairs with the cat was pretty darn obvious to me! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

womble Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Battlefront Steve was posting about their download arrangements the other week and claimed they offer 'unlimited bandwidth'. Sounds distributed and 'cloud'-y to me, rather than being on their website server. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtechno Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Since the demo is free to distribute, it would be nice to see a Demo torrent. Blazingly fast if we got enough high bandwidth people to host it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 No, we're not going to host the demo on our end at all in fact, at least not for quite a while until things slow down. We cooperate with various mags out there to host the demo for us. They love that stuff and have the infrastructure for it. Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Do we need a download accelerator program? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 The demo is just shy of 600 MB, so unless you have a really fast connection, I would always recommend using some kind of download manager. Some browsers already have one built-in and that should be enough. But it's up to you, and the mirrors we usually use are also entirely independent of us and may have their own systems, as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
