I'm going to assume you people are either:
[list=a]

• Students.
• Confusing Bits and Bytes.

a) true
b) 10mbps = 1280 KBPS = my (potential) download speed

I have encountered this, and it goes so for many weeks, not to say month's. Sometimes the forum does not react for minutes ! It is really annoying, even If I  started to get used to it (I just open another window and surf to other sides while waiting). But it sometimes already starts when loading up HLP, I guess this is more a problem with game-spy's server rather than the forums itself.

And I'm using broadbandth, callled DSL in Germany, so it is definitly no
connection problem. I hope this will get fixed someday.

University connections don't count, seen as you have to share them with like 500 other people.

an0n, there is a provider here in Italy which is called fastweb and gives 10mbps fiber connection 40+€ per month...

Kbps = kilobits....

KBps = kilobytes...

I'm gettin' the slow run too. Plus of the Admins avatars aren't showing (though I don't really care about that)

[an0n]

Yeah, I was getting that with Maeg's avatar and the banner.

I just assumed it was BitTorrent ****ing things up again.

T1, right?

1.54 mega bits per second?
192 kilo bytes per second?

Talking about avatars - what's the deal?  Doesn't seem to be any option other than 'no' in the settings....

[Zarax]

Stealth, just ask any italian about fastweb and they will confirm 10mbps...

The admins are avatar-nazis.

Only they get avatars. Everyone esle just gets 'project badges' for whatever campaign they're helping to make.

Oh, ok, well this is kind of a temporary home for me til WS is fixed, so I don't expect I'll get drawn into any modelling projects....

PUH! Double T3!

Seriously, if TCO loses his job and thus the intardnet connection, I'm gonna kill him. Luckily that probably won't happen.

[Zarax]

Double T3? Not bad at all...
