I am about to try Nabetse’s mutiplayer game. I’m doing this on a freshly installed machine. The thing is its so fresh I didn’t install the JRE yet, which I normally install manually.
So when I click on the link to load the applet. It automatically started downloading the JRE from Sun. We all know it does this. But as developers, we usually have everything preinstalled. It’s nice to se thinks work as they would for the average user from time to time.
And my impression is that at 256kbps, it’s completely confortable, taking a well announced 5 minutes. That is, there are no loooong I-dont-know-how-much-this-takes waits anymore.
So it’s not the flash plugin yet, but it’s completely acceptable now. at least at 256kbps.
I’m in Argentina, 256 isn’t the norm here however, how’bout down there (yes, south is up ;D ) what’s the typical users bandwidht?
