However, I downloaded the files for DOE yesterday. It took maybe an hour or a little longer, but I just love the "ToDOE" and "FromDOE" buttons!!! Yes!!! Brilliant!!!

The only complaint I may have about downloads would be, because I'm on dial up, it takes me for-darn-ever to download anything. And I don't like switching after the campaign starts.

you waited an hour to download for a server you'd have 3 hours to play on???

DLs aren't a problem for high bandwidth players (
) but can, as noted above, definately be a problem for 56Kers. Some key parts of the question include: 1. How many D/Ls?
If the server is using tried and true missions that have gone through a full test (i.e. DoE) then only 1 D/L should be needed. But if we're using missions that have not gone through a full test (which is anything but a campaign of at least DoE's level), then there is a good chance a new D/L will be needed.
2. How big of a D/L?
To D/L a shiplist is no problem, even if you have to do it a couple of times. D/Ling missions and other data can become a problem for 56K users. And when using a real cool system (such as HB's To/From) then you need to D/L everything each time it changes. That can be a major problem.
Is it possible that, as much as I love the To/From software, doing it the old manual way would be better to reduce the size of follow-on D/Ls?

I don't mind spending an hour or two on a download, just as long as it is the only one.
I love the To/From buttons so much that I will gladly download them.
GIVE ME MY TO/FROM BUTTONS!!!!!!!!!

I think the gain obtained from those download very much outweights any irritation from having to perform the download itself.
I am impresed with the work done by everyone and definitly want to see it, if I need to download for that so be it.
Thanks

This was a joke. Please don't take it seriously. If you did, you probably need to get out more.
