In order to estimate a fair download size for the upcoming client it would help to know how much bandwidth is available to the majority of the players. If you use different connections to play the game, vote for the one you use most.

Um eine sinnvolle Downloadgröße des neuen Clients abschätzen zu können, wäre es hilfreich zu wissen, wieviel Bandbreite der Mehrheit der Spieler zur Verfügung stehen. Wenn ihr verschiedene Verbindungen nutzt, gebt bitte die an, die ihr am häufigsten nutzt um das Spiel zu spielen.

I'm one of the three 56kers up there, but before I get any pity, you already know that I'm all for a longer download time for a better product. :wink:

Edit: Very thorough list, though. I'm suprised that you didn't add just above the acoustic coupler, "Rock banged in Morse Code against phone line/other makeshift .5 to .7k" :wink:

I am myself between 33 and 56 k depending what SA internet feels like pukeing out to me.
How ever 15 mb didnt not take me to long useing a decent download accelarator. As long as it is not huge files i have get weekly or something like that a once off large download is not to terrible.
