New download server really payed off!

1997 doesn't have the same ring to it. Just ask Prince.

True that, 1999 it is.

I can see the logic of having separate patch and game servers, but that doesn't make a damn difference if no-one can get in game as the patch server isn't up to the job.

there really is no excuse for not using some kind of torrent system by 2011.

Kind've agree with you. A lot of games, even free to play ones, have their initial installer, which often uses Pando Media Booster, and then torrent their patches through their client. It's handy.

Especially games that consistently change quite frequently in terms of upgrades / areas / etc.

Work on a torrent patcher.. or work on getting rid of the memory leaks on the server so that the game is playable, sorting out exploits, making sure the starting player population has what it needs to even get started with basic crafting and land..

Choices choices!

The best part is we'll probably have to download this all again because there were space in an item name that has caused the database to destroy itself.

yea hosting a torrent with Zone.xsip on the same download server for those interestet would be such a huge time sink.

Forums, IRC, patch, game. Let's put them all on one ISP host/server...

Hi, moron. When did the developers say the new download servers would bring increased bandwidth and download speeds? Oh, that's right, they didn't. The only thing the new download servers were supposed to do is allow patching that didn't affect the game server's stability. Now, if you had offered some kind of constructive criticism (instead of misinformed and predictable sarcasm), such as the use of a torrent patcher, then I wouldn't have to resort to calling you a moron. Look what you made me do.

Calling names is against TOS and against hopi beliefs shame on you hopi!
