not sure if its the right technical term, but the party chat put more pressure on connections, if that makes sense?

by **Richy59** Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 9:27

Yeah, it basically has to deal with x amount of people in a lobby and then x amount of people in a party chat at the same time. If we are all in a lobby then it only has to do one thing, as chat is just muted when you are in a party.

Here's a quick analogy: Data is to available bandwidth as water is to the size of the pipe. In other words, as the bandwidth increases, so does the amount of data that can flow through in a given amount of time, just like as the size of the pipe increases, so does the amount of water that can flow through during a period of time.

An Internet connection with a larger bandwidth can move a set amount of data (say, a video file) much faster than an Internet connection with a lower bandwidth. You can test your bandwidth availability for free using tools available at Internet speed test sites.

Examples:
"My Internet Service Provider said that the maximum upload/download bandwidth of my cable Internet connection should be around 4 Mbps / 30 Mbps."

Sorry to bring this up on such short notice, but the SCAR team will have to withdraw from the race. Sorry guys but some things have happend that we really have no control over and we just can't make it. Sorry once again, but you better believe that the next race we'll be going all in!

Ok cool,
Does anyone want to have 1 last practice session before race start in 3 n 3/4 hrs? I'll be setting up a lobby in a sec so message me online and I'll invite you, I'm just downloading something and it's halfway, so once that's done I'll invite anyone who's interested

Chaddy, unless there's a catastrophe and we need to re-jig a host for B lobby, M&M Racing will be hosting the lobby you're in.

From race preparation:
> The lobby host will then ask for your current distance that you have travelled.

I hope it is ok to report the distance in km not in miles. I use metric settings and actually don't want to change this.

Please be absolutely clear to your host that your figure is in KM then, as we will need to convert it to miles. It would be simpler for us if you could change it in this instance, but I understand if you are using your speedo often and used to seeing km/h.

The iphone livestream app works really well.

It looks awesome on my TV streaming for the live stream iphone via Apple TV on my TV. Really solid and good sound too.
