invictius Posted October 6, 2016 Idaho looks a little closer to the west coast. I really wish the australian mirror still existed. I remember taking days to download the entire archive on dialup. 0 Share this post Link to post

Maes Posted October 7, 2016 invictius said:Maes would um, actually, if I was on dial-up it would not matter which server I chose, as my connection would be the bottleneck in this case. I would choose the farthest one just to fuck with resources half a world away. BTW, it's been some 8-some years since I last used land-based dial-up. However, I have used the closest modern equivalent regularly as of recent: wireless broadband internet. If you only have GPRS coverage at any given moment, the speeds you get are quite close to the 56k days. invictius said:and would continue to go into great detail about the science behind it. ...you got me there. 0 Share this post Link to post

Quasar Posted October 14, 2016 Just so you know the "Texas" server is MancuNET, which is the same place the Doom Wiki is hosted. If you have good DL speeds from the wiki you should get likewise from the FTP. 0 Share this post Link to post
Spectre01 Posted October 14, 2016 I always pick Germany since it's the top one. The files are usually very small anyways. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted October 14, 2016 All things considered, it's amazing that Greece still has an active mirror. 0 Share this post Link to post
