PBW Auto turns are back on.
 

The isp connection has been pretty reliable the Last couple weeks. And I've had a bunch of questions about why turns aren't running. Rather then answer those all the time I have gone ahead and turned auto processing back on. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

If we lose connection I will try to get auto turns shut off as fast as possible.

Here in France it would be something like 20 euros for a 128kbits ADSL (that is, max download speed 16k/sec) and around 40 euros for a "proper" ADSL at 512kbits or 640kbits. There are other much faster connections in a few cities, but I don't know their cost nor how it works, so.

I pay 35 USD/month for cable connection. (got a router and have 4 PCs connected to it)

Re: PBW Auto turns are back on.
 

I pay 30 USD a month for 1.5 mb/s down and 128 kb/s up DSL. Though admittedly, it was on some discounted plan with a year long contract, and it normally costs 40 USD. My parents pay around 20 USD a month for cable, which runs a bit over 3 mb/s down and 128 kb/s up. It is packaged with basic cable tv, but that is not really much of a cost issue, as they would have gotten the same cable tv package either way. Such a plan would have been pointless for me as I already get basic cable for free (or some small hidden flat rate in the rent...) in my apartment complex.

It's fast enough that I find I'm usually waiting on the site to keep up with me. I downloaded the new (trial) Version of MediaFace (v4.0) a few days ago. It was 80MB and downloaded in about 5 minutes. Upload is about twice the speed of a 56k Modem, though, I think.

1 MB/S DSL $50 a month

Re: PBW Auto turns are back on.
 

I am somewhat curious how much a broad band connection costs in US and other countries? For example, here is some prices from Finland:

ADSL 256/256 kbps ~ 35...50 euro/month.
Cable modem 525 kbit/s ~ 50 euro/month.

slower broadband connections (ie. 128 kbps) go about 30 euro/month.

is auto turns off again?

Re: PBW Auto turns are back on.
 

No, do you have a particular game having a problem?

Re: PBW Auto turns are back on.
 

I know the game se5a is refering too (I am playing it too) its the game: Big Game Newbies Wanted. It should have been executed yesterday at 11.11 PM CET, but it wasnt. sure we could execute it by hand, but whats the reason for the delay?

Re: PBW Auto turns are back on.
 

arg, thats something I'd like to mention everytime I do this kind of postings: thanx a lot for your time and effort Geo.

Re: PBW Auto turns are back on.
 

Hmmm, well it appears mayne it's stopped running then. I didn't turn it off. I'll check it out tonight. You can run it if you want like you said, in the mean time. Although I would appreciate it if you'd hold off. It would make it easier for me to see what's going on if I have one that's not running like it should.

Ok, looks like kicking it fixed the problem. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
