Download and update enhancement suggestions
Posted: 20 Jul 2012, 15:54
The problem is the update take long time to download. And you have to let the game running during the download.
For me the best things to do is :
- To externalize the Download and Update process (like Blizzard's do) in order to have a lighter little executable running on the computer for this simple task and not the complete Game.
- Use bitTorrent protocol to boost download speed (less than 100Kb/s for me at this time) as Every Maniaplanet player as the game files. And most of them as an open port for the ingame P2P. It's a perfect condition for Bittorrent. And you will make HUGE economy on the bandwidth costs. The only things to take care is the game files aren't changed by the gamer, but I think bitTorrent already handle this.
Yes BitTorrent and P2P can be used to another things that Piracy.
