Manage file transfers / Priority download / upload

[siremi]

File transfer system has been improved.

Important: With the exception of mega-corporation servers,  it is no longer possible to exceed the target bandwidth. If you upload / download from a target, you will only be able to use as much bandwidth as available on the target. Viruses may affect the available bandwidth!

So no more abusing newbie players by inserting a virus fast, you can do it but you have to wait at their connection speed 

- downloads / uploads no longer adjust the bandwidth automatically, you will have to do it manually from "Manage transfers"
- you will notice a new link in the left menu, "Manage transfers"
- you have 5 priority levels, each designates a % of the available bandwidth
- priority ONE will allocate all bandwidth for the transfer. It will NOT take bandwidth from other transfers, so if you are already at 100% bandwidth utilization, then set other transfers to priority FIVE.
- timers are not reset, so you can switch priorities and not lose the downloaded time you already spent.
- to PAUSE a download / upload, just set it to priority FIVE
- to RESUME a transfer, set priority ONE or one of the others up to the band utilization

Important: If for some reason your bandwidth does not increase when setting the priority in the case when the target is another player, check his connection, maybe he doesn't have enough bandwidth to support your download / upload.
This INCLUDES if he is downloading / uploading something or having viruses installed!

Could you add a function that allows to share the bandwidth evenly?

Could you add a function that allows to share the bandwidth evenly?

You can do it like this:

- Set all files at Priority FIVE.

- Set first file at priority FOUR.
- Set next file at priority THREE.
- Set next file at priority TWO.
- Set next file at priority ONE.

it doesnt work

argh, I just tried to set my d/l to priority 1 (Because I upgraded my BW while it was downloading and I wanted the full effect to shorten the time).


Every priority I set sets the allocated bandwidth at 0.1.

Now my download that was supposed to be finished in <1Hour will be finished in >41 hours. Yay.

[Master Shake]

Well,the DL portion seems to work-Im stealing someones firewall at 2 BW lower than what I have.

lol its kinda glitchy still but press 5th priority then put it back to 1

[GuitarHero]

Believe me, I've clicked every link on that page multiple times to try to get my d/l back up :P

Ah, it's a new feature, new features take time to be properly implemented. I just hope that it doesnt take too much longer than the regular D/L time and I can get it fixed before then.

Where are you getting your file from? If another player, he has to stop, set priority V on all his downloads so you can take his bandwidth. Then you can set yours to ONE. You can't overload someone else's bandwidth anymore, so if he's downloading stuff stop it first.

Oops, another idiot move by GH. I see the problem now, thanks.


Now the only other problem is, the person I'm d/ling from no longer plays :(
