Back from Croatia!

Nice country, Nabuko! The weather could be better and the beer cheeper, but still - nice place!

The fewer people that know about it, the more fun it'll be.

I agree!

And to all that has been written last, week - ok for me.

 

[unmerged(38752)]

Btw, who is gonna host us? Since 10 players is a lot to host...

I repeat my previous question

 

[unmerged(27108)]

I repeat my previous question

Which is a good question.

My connection is good. However, I live, at least, 2000 km fro most of you.

Who have a good connection? From what I remember :

Dr Bob have a good one (512 kb upload?)
Ozzeh have a good one ( ? kb upload?)

 

[unmerged(38752)]

I have 512 kb upload, but from my experience I know I cannot host more than 8 players at a speed above slow. Maybe 9 or 10 at below normal, but that is stressing it, especially at the time at which we play. I suggest we quickly address this problem...

I agree.

All,

List your upload connection speed please.

mine is around 600-700 kb. However, 2000km from you. Might be in last resort.

256 upload

My connection is, I think, 500 upload. Download? No clue. And my computer is rather slow. And yes - I don´t know anything about computers.

Reading the thread I see a lot of references to Hung Li. I do miss him. *sniff*

Cobjor upload is the important thing in a host, and upload is usually half the download speedm and your speed is more than fine for hosting

speed test ( in america so probably a unrealistically slow speed)

 

[unmerged(38752)]

If cobjor's speed is fine for hosting, than mine should be too... though from experience I have my doubts.

speed test

ghehehehehe

at work : DL speed : 717 kb
upload speed : 797 kb

but it's at work, where I can't play eu2. Will test it at home.

didn't you host the last session of Newbie game with 10 players?

 

[unmerged(38752)]

Were those really 10 players? Hmm... if that is true, then I should be able to host... though you shouldn't expect high speeds, below normal is probably max.

Back from Croatia!

It is usually too hot in this time of year. Above 30 or 35 Celsius at least and now I'm desperately trying to warm myself. Climate change or whatever it is an unusual summer . Considering hosting Joo rocks as host - dunno the numbers but he hosted whole starting EGA (13-14 players) without any problems at normal and above normal speed. From what I have heard he has even better conn than our usual host K'shar so.... problem is solved

Thanks!

Now I know that my connection is:
- download, 445 kbps
- upload, 274 kbps

So, no hosting for me I guess!

 

[unmerged(28729)]

I am out of hosting - dl 130, up 70 :wacko:

Again and again - "Considering hosting Joo rocks as host - dunno the numbers but he hosted whole starting EGA (13-14 players) without any problems at normal and above normal speed. From what I have heard he has even better conn than our usual host K'shar so.... problem is solved"

hehe indeed.

however, status of Joohoo as a player is undefined. He said to me that automn could have a lot of uncertainty in his life. Let's hope he play with us until the end

 

[Konrad der Rote]

no host here too:

dl 700
ul 100

but is this extreme difference not a bit unusual?

 

[unmerged(38752)]

Let us all love Joohoo, who will be unbanned in a few days

EDIT: Konrad, this is normal. My connection is 6000/512.

It also could be good to have a back-up host.

And Balinus, didnt I tell you to study and not to browse the internet? .....
