Really. I had no idea. It is a great tool though.

Re: RAR File Format
 

I have always prefered FreeZip. Especially since it gives me more control. I prefer downloading many add-ons then being able to unzip everything in a directory with one command. And programs which involve frequent downloads I create a batch file to handle things properly in the directories for that particular game.

Well, I've got broadband, but my ISP uncooly slaps me with a monthly download limit, so anything that makes files smaller is a good thing by me.

Re: RAR File Format
 

Wow. What's your ISP, and what's the limit? I hope you get a nice price break for the limitation. Mine would probably just bump me off if they thought I was overusing bandwidth.

Re: RAR File Format
 

Thats why Im quite happy not using any ISP. No download limits, no email limits, no web-space limits, no restricted ports, no filtering. Its abit more headache doing it all yourself but I consider that fun. I guess its like guys who work on their own cars, or make their own furniture.

Re: RAR File Format
 

How would you start going about doing that and connecting to the net? (Generically in general)

Re: RAR File Format
 

AgentZero, do you happen to have Satellite ISP?

Re: RAR File Format
 

Many nations outside of the US have ISPs that use per month bandwidth caps. This is either due to relatively poor infrastructure (such as in developing nations), or it is combined with much higher per second rates (such as some ISPs in Canada). There are likely some in the US too, with nothing to do with satellite, but with cable or some form of DSL...

Re: RAR File Format
 

Its all about the $$$$$$$ and nothing more.

Re: RAR File Format
 

Which can work to your advantage if you have competing providers...

Bell got hosed a few years back near here because they tried to put a cap on the DSL. This region is reasonably tech savvy, and everybody went over to cable for its equivalent, no limit service. A few months later the old pricing scheme was back and Bell was making apology calls to try and recover some of their customer base http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
