Guest Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 So far I've copied my client and named it players client - Uploaded it to a file sharing host along with the library files…. However; this is two downloads for my users and both seem to take ages to download.Is there any way of shortening the download by removing some files or something like that? Because; it takes too long for people to download, so they get bored and cancell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unnown Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 nope it cant be smaller, so either use less graphics by deleting unused tiles or something like thatalso, if your game is good enough people will play it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rithy58 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 You know, some FilesHoster limit the download speed unless you pay them.I suggest you use MediaFire.com or Filefront.comSincerely,Rithy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Thanks Rithy, but I was using Filefront already.I shall try the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rithy58 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Find the best one that offer the most speed.For me, I download at 200kb/sec to 1mb/sec from Filefront.comAnd around 500kb/sec at MediaFire, but that might be caused by my high download speed.So try and find the one that offer the best speed.Oh and a suggestion : Host your files on Multiple Host. And you can put like Mirror1 : Filefont.com Mirror2 : Mediafire.com and so on.Let the players decide which one they one. But put the one you think have the highest download speed at the top and tell them it's recommended to choose this one to download.Sincerely,Rithy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomsalad Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 yeah. You could also allow the people to download different sections seperately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
