I r not real smart when it come to computers.  SO.... Can someone tell me how this will effect me and my 80 hours of game play last month.  How much bandwidth or whatever the hec its called am I using to play AH.  I'm scared this will be the end of AH for me. :cry

This is geared toward the heavy downloaders like movies and music and such. AH doesn't send a ton of info, thats why a dial-up connection still works fine. Right click "My network places" and select properties. Double click on the hispeed connection your using. A window will open write down the packets sent and received, then go fly for a couple of hours. Then check the numbers again, and do the math. My son is a geek and IT guy at a software company. He was running stuff from home for work as well as playing games half the night with his computer for over a week, and he almost hit 1 gig.

Unless you spend a lot of time downloading stuff I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks!  I don't download much of anything other than the occasional sick and disgusting short clips Chappy sends me. Ewwww    Thanks again I feel better.  Silly me....I was actually pretty upset thinking i might have to get rid of the game.  :salute
