From a simplicity of programming point of view I understand entirely why only one file is requested at a time. From memory my speed was around 150-250 kBytes/sec depending on which server the file was grabbed from. the updater seems to select a random (or possibly based on server load) server to get the file on, I wasn't watching which servers were faster than others. I'm in aus (not that proximity makes a large difference for this), so news of a faster server is good. I'm curious as to how the updater picks the download server for each file as some files are much larger. You don't want to get stuck with the 50kb/s server with one of the larger files . As a side point, excellent mode and in all reality, this is not a huge issue. I still remember the days of a shared dial up line where obtaining something like this would be literally impossible, this is a dream compared to that.

Well I'm downloading from scratch and believe me, it is downloading each file individually. Checking download for 'is-a-zipfile'. Checking CRC of downloaded file, expecting 4a0a662b CRC calculated for zip file C:\Program Files\Doom 3\darkmod\__tdm_textures_stone_brick01.pk4 = 4a0a662b Downloaded file passed the integrity checks.

It's not an issue, only my connection means i could be downloading about 7 files at once with the upload speed of these servers. It is far from a big issue, I'm just not use to having to wait over three hours to get 2GB

Hi everyone. Just downloading this again for a bit of a play and one thing that is bugging the hell out of me is, DAM this download server is slow. The fact that we can only grab a file at a time probably doesn't help, possibly you could edit the downloader to grab multiple files of multiple hosts? Anyway, I have a server that has minimal use throughout most of the year. It gets traffic about twice a semester when i run a game of assassins at the uni. Would you like me to mirror up a copy of the mod, I'm not promising blazing fast speeds but the more the merrier hey?
