All you have to do is buy a copy on US Ebay and have it shipped here .... too easy. Or better yet, the gay classification (or lack thereof) makes it almost legitimate for us to pirate/torrent the game

I'm with Adam as well Andrew with this result........big difference in Ping speed, what's that all about?

I upped the ante to Aggressive mode (ADSL2+) and it upped the ping rate slightly but dropped the download rate..........maybe time of day??

The ping will vary - 2ms is nothing. :D

Distance from the exchange.

My own service connects at a slower speed when connecting with ADSL2+ compared to ADSL1.

However connecting as plain old ADSL2 (without the +) it connects at its fastest.

What you need to do if your modem supports it is place your self on an ADSL2+ standard type profile that aims for an SNR of around 9-10 and then force the modem to connect 'only' in ADSL2 mode.

Doing so will generally provide the quickest connection at a longer line length.

bizarrely while my ADSL1+ gets a MAX of 4.5Mb/s on speedtest, sometimes I get download speeds as fast as 600kb/s in UTorrent, when downloading multiple torrents from a good source (like tvtorrents private tracker). I am not sure how I get such good speeds sometimes - yet have NEVER downloaded from the 'normal' internet (even direct from Adam or a pipe) at that 600kb/s.

Supposidly (got spelling) i'm on ADSL2+ with Internode and this is all I get living in Panorama.

Pretty pathetic in my opinion.

Ignorance is bliss.

All bets you are on the ADSL2+ Very High Reliability Profile and haven't changed it since day one. :P

Double check to ensure all devices connected to your phone line are filtered. The modem doesn't require a filter. Run a <3m telephone cable.

Now now, before I had ADSL (still on 1, no 2+ here ;) ), I used to download several gigs of anime & movies using good old dial up.

It does take several days or weeks for the 700mbs, & people can't call the house (which isn't really a bad thing, considering all that telemarketing crap I get everyday).

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...

      Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.

      The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome

      The thing is, once the content has been tagged we can chop and change the end result as much as we want. Its identifying the content in the first place that needs to be done regardless of the final outcome.

      Sorry @GTSBoy I thought I'd replied here. There's a new BIG version of invision coming out soon, it might be worth waiting until that happens as it contains a lot of improved functionality for tags. My suggestion would be to add a top level page (not thread) with some info on it and then link to sub pages for various topics. We could even just start really simple with 2 or 3 pages underneath it. Those pages could just have a view (like a pre configured search result) of the tags we choose to put on it. We could have some background or an intro on each of these pages. My only issue is that while admins and mods can update the existing content to contain the tags we want, new posts can have whatever tags the author wants. That said, the reason our tags are so messy is because of that, so maybe we restrict tagging to admins/mods in edits.
