Title: Bandwidth for downloads
Post by: TribeHasSpoken on May 17, 2005, 11:24:48 PM
When part one is released, everyone of this forum and probably many others will want to download it as quickly as possible. Given the likely size of the download, will you have the bandwidth needed to meet the demand, or will you possibly make arrangements with other adventure sites to share the burden?

The game will be for download from this site.

Although, other forms of distribution are being considered(such as CDs in gaming magazines).

For more information, see Downloading (http://www.postudios.com/blog/forum/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=1255).

and as far as having enough bandwidth... we'll find out this winter, won't we? ;-D

I sure hope not. I hate it when you get a message saying to come back next month because the site has used up it's bandwith.

Welcome TribeHasSpoken! :)

Heh, this thread's pretty funny because we're actually already almost at our bandwidth limit for this month! :-X

I moved the 24mb worth of new Music and Screenshots to our new site: http://www.tsl-game.com in order to aleviate some of the bandwidth usage.  The tsl-game.com site is on an account with unmetered bandwidth and almost double the disk storage as this site.  XD We'll be transferring kq9.org there officially either this month or next.

Right now, it looks more or less like a mirror to this site, but certain features still need to be updated, and others are missing (like the Flash Games and Forum).  The reason for that is because those use databases and in order to avoid conflicting data, it's best to just have one active database at a time.

Anyway, to answer your question TribeHasSpoken, as we get closer to the release date, we will most likely be contacting other sites to be mirrors, and purchasing other "dump" sites where we can put the game or at least large pieces of it.  8)

Is it possible, to share it via torrent files??

It's definitely possible, and will probably happen whether we want it to or not. ;P
