...sometimes ya can't win for losing.
Table next to mine that was in the shade opened up. As the outlet was pretty much in between didn't have to unplug anything. However once I moved, my download speed went from an average of about 115kb/sec down to 11kb/sec. so had to move back and deal with the glare as the remaining DL time would have gone past when the shop would close.
Wireless can be really flaky sometimes.
Boy that is a significant loss in speed
...must either be some kind of "shadow" or just a dead spot in the area.
...well, just over three quarters complete.
Some of the grey sky here is smoke from big fires out of town, think we would be better off with snow somehow ;)
Glass perhaps, wifi does very badly if there is a lot of glass around.
...ah that makes sense, there is a glass display case in line with the other table.
Not sure what happened now. Still at the original table and the throughput tanked into the 20s with only 14% to go.
phew a lot of washing bowls, pots, twirly attachments, etc.
this time i took before and after pictures. :)
whole place smells like baking cinnamon. 1/2 tsp cinnamon is lot a magick.
I'm hungry nao *whines*
A wifi network will reconfigure on the fly to reallocate bandwidth to users it thinks are online, sometimes dropout can convert you to a new guest while a session is in progress, a kind of reverse timeout :lol:
...well at least it finished. Took about an hour thirty plus.
Now DLing the .156 version of 4.5 (64 bit for the new rig). Going a lot better. Sheesh, the Genesis essentials are almost four times the size of the application itself.
yeah its huge
wow it took me @ 6 minutes
...but do you have a high-speed hardwired net connection?
With my 3G at home it would have taken a couple days (really) provided a reset of timeout didn't kill it.
ah ok yeah mine is high speed. 15mb/ps download. i never get that but I do usualy get 7mb/s on DAZ
Yeah, really sucks to be you, Frank. :lol:
The best I can get around here is free ATTI at the local Mickey D's (food is meager, but the coffee is good) I can get dl speeds of about 2 mb/s there. I'm in a similar boat to KK's with my 3G BB at home (Verizon) unless I dl at night from about 2-5 am EST when I get up to 150 kb/s in the Daz Shop. So yeah, big dl sizes and I go to McDs.
@KK tonight's been especially slow going on the internet at home for me also.
...at the two hotspots I frequent, I run at about 120 - 130 KB/s on the Daz site. At home it's more like 10 - 15 KB/s with multiple resets and timeouts.
Don't do the cable thing as they usually bundle net service with phone and television (neither of which I have or want). Then there's those multi-year contracts with penalties if you cancel service before the term is over. Meanwhile they can jack up rates (and usually do) after your "introductory deal" expires and there's nothing you can do about it (unless you pay the penalty for breaking the contract).
No thanks.
yeah ours is a bundle package.
Only one provider where I live so we pay through the nose for an eight megabit ADSL connection. We could go satellite broadband but would have to pay heaps for a service that stops working when it rains. Not that it rains often but....
Complaint: (in honor of the new Thread name, this will be in the style of beat poetry of the late 1950s)
(bongos play softly in the background)
Freedom!
I scream for Freedom of the flow of data throughout the Universe...
Flowing from the hearts and minds through the fingers on the keyboards and mice
Of the hip chicks and cool daddy-os clued into what is.
Freedom!
I scream for Freedom of Megabytes per second...
No more will we be bound by the lowly kilobyte with its puny plastic existence
For why should electrons and microwave energy be held out of reach
Of the Organic Creatures which we are,
Only because we may lack the disposable Bread to pay for Higher Speeds?
Freedom!
(sounds of snapping fingers of applause)
And i'll not mention my 30Mb/ps broadband, it only cost a little extra to get Business speed at home here.
Still stressing over skin drop
Ooooh D=
That looks good X3

...same where I am, and they know they have a captive audience as it rains a lot here (and on occasion even snows).

Poser shaders - altho you know how all you see is flaws? :lol: Tiny shadow artifacts around the hairline that creep into the SSS pass 'cos the shadow bias on the lights is cranked way down small.

We "bundle", but it is internet on the copper telephone line, television off a satellite dish and 3G mobile for a phone. All this less than a kilometre from the city centre. Much worse for people who live in the apartment towers, they have to share wireless internet bandwidth between hundreds of people. Is so SNAFU that hardly anyone uses a landline to talk on the phone anymore, and you see people congregating wherever there is a good 3G signal for their mobiles. Meh the autocomplete wanted to spell congregating conjugating, must have a sense of humour :lol:
Wooo managed to sit down and sketch this into a picture all in one go X3
Sat down, thumbnail sketch, refined it, traced over that, colored it X3
My little wyvern-self and the various beasties I can turn into XD
