[FoBoT]

the bandwidth is killing me!!!

i bring home 500mb of structures to upload, it take a few hours on my cable modem! oh the pain!! :haddock:

there is no way you could do DF (in large #'s/large production) on dial up

As I have a machine or two on dialup (friends' boxen, not using them right now), I agree with you, in spades.

The dumps just take forever. (Nice dumps, BTW! :D)

There is a thread going on DF now, on this very topic. I think we should add a little pressure on Howard, who seems to be of the opinion that it's a "minor inconvenience" as "very few have complained about it".

Its one of the main reasons I won't stick with DF. All my boxen are on dialup and the connection is unreliable with daily time-limit restrictions. With the last fast protein, I was manually uploading every 20k, which was slow and a chore. As everyone seems to have mentioned, the client is idle while uploading, so for us dialup users the long uploading period is also a waste of idle CPU cycles. While I was helping out with DF, I would fire up the ECCp client when uploading.

I'd say its a major inconvenience, and if I were convinced by the cause of the project I might have bothered complaining about it.

We pitched it. Let's wait & see.
