Spooky Posts: 26606 Joined: 11/11/1998 From: Middle Earth Status: offline	RE: downloading - 9/17/2007 2:52:53 Not really - depends what you mean :-) If you are talking games, then Lag is generally ping time between you and the server (or how many hops it needs to make to connect) The more hops, the higher ping. I can more than happily download files while playing games online. It can depend on many factors as to how it will effect you..... Specifically for games, I have my provider turn interleaving off which lowers the ping time by a good 40-50% due to less error checking _____________________________ If you arent part of the solution, then there is good money to be made prolonging the problem ��k� Database / DRW help Check out the Tutorials for Frontpage Databases Forum FAQ' s Developers Edition Spooky Login User Registration and Management tool Personalized Frontpage Hosting (in reply to scx)

The more you use it, the more lag you will see. If your ISP normally allows you to download at 1mb/s, and your game usually requires .5mb/s, if you use anything more than .5mb/s outside of your game (such as downloading stuff from online), then you will see lag. quote: Specifically for games, I have my provider turn interleaving off which lowers the ping time by a good 40-50% due to less error checking - What is interleaving, how did you get them to turn it off? _____________________________ Arizona Web Design - Mr Bobs Web Design in Arizona The Arizona Web Hosting Challenge (in reply to Spooky)

Ive certainly noticed no effect for any other types of connections. I guess the bigger the ISP, the less they want to change small things like this for the customer _____________________________ If you arent part of the solution, then there is good money to be made prolonging the problem ��k� Database / DRW help Check out the Tutorials for Frontpage Databases Forum FAQ' s Developers Edition Spooky Login User Registration and Management tool Personalized Frontpage Hosting (in reply to BobbyDouglas)
