    Thumbs up Upload requirements MUCH better

    I finally got around to reading my web bandwidth reports again, and I am VERY PLEASED with the new upload requirements of the current DF client.

    Prior to this protein I was regularly uploading over 750 megs each day to the project. I now average 37 megs a day.

    VERY NICE!

    Thanks Howard!

    Ni!

    Yes, even though I don't really care too much, as I've got a 24x7 connection anyway, I realize a lot of people do care.

    Plus, it's nice to not raise eyebrows at the ISP... "what on earth is this 80K upload every half hour?" (dunno on that 80K part, but I'm sure it was enough for them to notice).

    Thank you! Just in case enough people haven't told you already.

    It is a huge help for me too. I have a couple of new offline machines that I can't dump at the location they are so I need to copy them to my 64MB USB drive (which has other stuff on it) so I wouldn't have been able to handle it before but now it is doable.

    Anything to make it easier to use. So has anyone figured out how to cheat yet?
    I actually could have done it as early as the CASP targets, but better late than never, right?

    I bet it's "a bit" easier on the server too
