0.11.4 has been Deployed (and 32 bit stability!)

yeah.....!!!!

here --- 24% nice, nearly download finished!!!!

Had part of it downloaded, got something to eat and came back to an error msg about a skeleton file. Now restarting to d/l and hope it makes it past whatever caused the error last time.

I'm happy to update the original post with the link to such a torrent if someone is able to create one. We can't do it from our office connection in New Zealand or our production servers. Our CDN only supports http traffic.

I shudder at the thought what would happend if I'd just mirror the file after the download.

I hope that my 2Gbit pales in comparison. And no, I cannot spare all my bandwidth lol.

Also, unless everybody stops downloading right now except a few chosen ones, I doubt anyone will finish the download any time soon. Bye guys!

89.41% .... :)

5.87% man that's amazing speed :D

Can't we all buy some more gold and get those servers from open beta release for a day

Don't you have actual version of the game to share via torrent, Chris?

It's very likely to speed up once the bulk of people have finished downloading - so I'd be very surprised if it's more than a few hours for most people. I've contacted our CDN to ask for more provisioning - hopefully they're able to add more servers quickly.

The problem is that at these slow speeds for everybody, everybody will finish all at once after all having been stuck at the same slow speeds the entire time.

A priority or queue system of some sort to cycle people through at fast speeds would be better. Then each person finishing can free up bandwidth for the rest of the people in line. The total time for everyone to finish won't change (can't easily change max bandwidth or total amount of the files to be downloaded), but the average user's wait to actually be in game will be reduced if we let the segment of people who are actually downloading get faster speeds by making other people wait.

Namely, with a queue the average user's wait time will be half as long, with the worst case scenario being the last person in line having no longer of a wait, and the lucky person in front being able to rush through at their max download speed.

[Edit for clarity: I'm stylizing here a bit, basically pretending that everyone is going to be trying to download at once, and no one is starting/stopping their downloads as we go. But the real situation is close enough to that for it to be helpful to describe it that way.]
