On the topic of PBW download speed... even when my Internet connection is running at a full crawl of 52 or so Kbps, files downloading from PBW only come at around 1 or 2 KB/s, instead of 4 or 5... is it any faster on broadband or is the server just slow? (Hey, with Geo replacing some parts maybe the server will be faster, huh huh huh?

and maybe the files will actually display a % downloaded sometime?

)

I get at most 30KB/sec downloads from PBW.

I only get about 40K per second when I download the files.

Sometimes 50 but that's pushing it.
And yes it's broadband. 356K DSL.

ATT cable and I get 40-60k downloads depending on time of day.

We had been having some upload problems the Last couple weeks before the server went down. I don't believe it was a server problem but an isp problem. Ove rthe LAN I was not experienceing any lag at all like I would if it were a server problem.

Hopefully whatever it was with the isp has been resolved in the mean time. Let me know if any of you are still lagging like that.

On the other hand, you get to slaughter some virtual races which can be fun

lol. WHAT life. I live alone, no local friends ever visit, I am on disability so i don't get out much anyway. I already drink 2-3 pots of coffee a day, so more is not possible. I don't keep a standard sleep schedule either (and not because of the coffee). Thats why a couple of good TBS games are important to me. Sometimes I can be up and play for several hours (don't ask how many

) other times, I have to take many breaks and naps. All depends on how I feel.
BAH, enough whining. Back to the info hunt

Racial Techs (organic, stellar, ect): Anywhere I can find info on these? I realise the temporal manip opens a new tech line, but what is in that tech line that would make it attractive? Same goes for the other racial trait tech lines.

Starting resources, 100k: WTF is up with this one? Sure, you start with 100k of each, but you only have storage for 50k. the rest is lost as soon as you end turn. I am assuming selecting this high setting has a negative impact on the final score. Thats ok, but if I am gonna pay that price, I want the (explative) resources available for use. I looked at the .txt files briefly to see if I could find where that was limited, but didn't find it, and I didn't know if just changing one line would hose the whole .txt file. Is there more to modding than just editing those files?
