Discovery RP 24/7 download usage?

[NerdRage]

My internet deal is 17 gig a month, which means 11 off peak, 6 on peak

I wanna know how much usage playing disco 24/7 RP server is using when i play.

i am restricted by parents from playing FL on-peak coz they think it uses way to much downloads
but i have barely any off-peak time.

i want to know, FOR SURE how much it uses ( a gig an hour, 14 megabytes a sec for example)

Judging by the look of my router's bandwidth meter, statistically insignificant amounts. Same for most online games, really.

For this month due to an ISP screwup I am too limited, and to 5 gigs only. Anyways I measured it and it took 25 megs an hour.

Roughly dial-up speed. At that rate, it'd take just under 29 days to use up 17 GB.:D

No no no way. It spends more. As I said, sometimes it spends less, sometimes more. Between 20 and 40 megs
per hour.

No no no way. It spends more. As I said, sometimes it spends less, sometimes more. Between 20 and 40 megs
per hour.

Which means that, at 40 megs per hour, if you play 5 hours in a day you've used 200 meg - 5 days per week puts you at 1 Gig - 4 weeks a month at 4 Gig...

My ISP restricts me to 125 Gig per month....

BRING ON THE DISCO!

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.

Freelancer is a very non-demanding game when it comes to online connections. I usually have internet radio on, skype, msn and sometimes a download going on and it STILL works perfectly, with some rare Yellow lag.
I use a simple 1mb connection for all of this, with the download chugging away at around 120 - 150 kb/s and 128kb music quality for the radio.

Basically, Freelancer takes up less bandwidth than looking up these forums might sometimes.

Heh, I run FL, Skype, Xfire, MSN, leave the forums up for trading, and have my email auto-checking.

No problems. (the lag at my login is due to my graphics drivers >.>)

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.
