I connect at 33.2 and PBW is fine.

The trick is, you're not talking to PBW when you play turns there. You download he files to your machine, and THEN play the game ... which means you might lose connection in the meantime. Once you're done, you upload your turnfile to PBW.

I wouldn't be so chearful if i where you. Prepare to lose tons of sleep, see your social life go down the drain, drink lots of coffee which is bad for your health and so on.
On the other hand, you get to slaughter some virtual races which can be fun

On the topic of PBW download speed... even when my Internet connection is running at a full crawl of 52 or so Kbps, files downloading from PBW only come at around 1 or 2 KB/s, instead of 4 or 5... is it any faster on broadband or is the server just slow? (Hey, with Geo replacing some parts maybe the server will be faster, huh huh huh?

and maybe the files will actually display a % downloaded sometime?

)

I get at most 30KB/sec downloads from PBW.

I only get about 40K per second when I download the files.

Sometimes 50 but that's pushing it.
And yes it's broadband. 356K DSL.

ATT cable and I get 40-60k downloads depending on time of day.

We had been having some upload problems the Last couple weeks before the server went down. I don't believe it was a server problem but an isp problem. Ove rthe LAN I was not experienceing any lag at all like I would if it were a server problem.

Hopefully whatever it was with the isp has been resolved in the mean time. Let me know if any of you are still lagging like that.
