This is one of those rare occassions on which I agree with you HJ. I was hoping that the game would progress a little slower in this round. May I suggest you tweak a few settings Emi ?
May I add the suggestion that this can be done by installing some software on ones own server (like a locally installed downloadmanager). Then players will have a choice if they want to sacrifice some system resources to benefit from this feature.
I don't think this is a problem really. It seems you are just being impatient ... upgrade your bandwidth to 20 kbps first and things will be alot easier. And there will always be a better file somewhere else some time (either on NPC or private server).
A new round has started and I suggest we all forget about sentiments from round 1. Let's just start as neutral towards eachother and see how thing develop this round.
In general, this should be considered cheating. Who wants to play this great game in such way anyway, where's the fun in that ? But that's just my opinion.
