I was accused of using the "DSL background download" cheat by whels tonight.
Now I will admit that I am fairly new to the online game community..but this is the first time that I have ever heard of this one.
My question is do many of you folks use or know about this so called cheat or is it the exclusive purview of mr. whels?
shamus
Folks please note the sarcasm of the initial post :)

Let me guess .. you shot down Whels right? He tends to claim that anyone that shoots him down cheats or is warping. Ignore it.
-
ooohhh the olde Dsl background dl trick...yeah thats the ticket ...
NOt to be confused with the Blocked router port invisible plane trick...
Very ingenius!!
-
Shamus don't worry about it.Whels is one of the biggest whiners in the game.He reminds me of gunman26.:rolleyes:

Essentially the idea is that you run a download in the background so that your internet connection becomes laggy.
-
Oh I understand how clogging the thru put can cause lag and warps, and I do everything I can to keep this from happening because it makes it a lot more difficult to shoot people down,
but it seems that , per whels, it can be used to an advantage, and I am just curious as to how he or anyone else might use it.

Why it is a DSL cheat? Wouldn't it work even better on a modem?

how can I typo 'on' as 'an'?

Some would have you think otherwise. You'll get to know them as you play the game more.
You've just met one of them.

LOL, congradulations Shamus, you are one of many in a long line of pile-its who have been accused of cheating by Whels.
The line of pile-its that whels has accused of being dweebs and/or flying the wrong plane/the wrong way starts over there ==>
SOB

excuse me, but i really can't hold it any longer...
buuahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahah

Everyone knows the FDBs use a modification of this cheat... the "DSL Streaming Porn Cheat", although it usually backfires as they end up watching the porn and not their flying (which is why they're so easy to kill).

I find viewing a high quality divx adds system resources drain in addition to bandwidth consumption. But I still die afk.

Whels is one of those guys who really does have talent in AH.
He just has trouble accepting any one else having the same gift.
By the way, being accused:) of cheating is one of the highest compliments in AH, enjoy it while it lasts, and keep it to your self or you are branded a whiner, which by the way you are:)
-
psssst.....
whels is from Florida...
look at their elections....
everyone MUST be cheating!!!!
-
Knowing you Shamus....and (ugh) knowing (of) Whels....bwahahaha....I am positive Shamus you have done nothing wrong.
-
"By the way, being accused of cheating is one of the highest compliments in AH, enjoy it while it lasts, and keep it to your self or you are branded a whiner, which by the way you are"
lmao
-
Accusing Shamus of cheating is like accusing Shane of being humble. :D
-
Whels is a good guy. He didnt accuse me cheating when he augered and died and I get a kill. :D (A8, mindanao, few days ago) Did La7 stall whels? ;)
-
You gotta be friggen kidding me. Shamus cheating? Whels are you smoking that crack pipe again? Good grief... maybe he did have a bad connect...maybe YOU had a bad connect...or your HD was chugging or whatever. Get over it.

Whels, they make some pretty good decaf these days.... ;)
-
Ive noticed way more cheating this tour as compared to last tour....this time last tour ,I dont think I got kilt once!!
-
Lol..the old "Purpose Warp" after-kill message from Whels..
Priceless..:)

wtg Shamus! :D

I've met Whels personally and let me assure you - he's not a whiner. He's been dealt a bad hand in Life but he keeps his spirits up. Whels is ok in my book!
And maybe you guys really are a bunch of background d/l cheaters! :p
-
I prefer Download Accelerator Plus. It allows me to Alt/Tab back and forth with ease while the kniggit Niki horde shoots all of there ammunition in one long trigger pull from D1.2. :cool:
-
This is a video game.
In the cheating accusations stage, Whels is the first boss.
Just wait until you confront CavemanJ, TOWD, and KaK3
-
i suppose i could be one of those
cable users in a large town with one provider everyone uses and flys during high traffic periods...
i prefer the mega multitasking cheat whree you play 3 games and talk to 10 people at once while playing AH...people using this one are almost as easy to kill as ones using the streaming porn while playing cheat

Oh please!!!! Whels is nothing like gunman26!!! :mad:
Gunman26 almost caused me to give up Aces High very soon after I started playing because of his attitude towards me. In fact, I believe the incident where he attacked me (for dropping troops at the edge of a field instead of right next to the maproom - in the days when the maproom was on the airfield) was the final straw for HTC and he was banned a very short time after.
I have known Whels for over 4 years, since I first started playing Air Warrior, and he is a great guy! There is absolutely no comparison!!!
XOXOXO Whels! ;)

Rgr that! I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Whels in person - yet! I do hope that one day I will though.... of all people I have come across in this game, Whels is very high on my "love to meet someday" list. :)

I will also 'vouch' for Whels. I have no doubt he just said what he saw. I too have "know" him for many years in AW and AH. He is a stand-up guy who gives alot to the community. He often helps new people in the game asking the "Stupid" questions when noone else will. He is also a dam n good pilot I guarantee. Who knows, maybe he was just having a bad day. I know I've had a few and 'vent' in the game occasionally too.
Pretty much all I have to say about this crap accept that I have seen some wierd (lag) stuff in AH myself that would sure make you wonder. I'm sure you are a good guy too Shamus but I know that Whels is. I enjoy winging with him any chance I get. Whels and Baaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
-
Whels is basically a good guy, but I have seen him fly off the handle and get a bit too verbal.... a few times.

Keep being YOU wheels !

Whels is a good guy, he just whines a lot, throws idiotic accusations arbitrarily and is a sore loser.
But otherwise, he is a good guy.
-
Whels is a good guy. He's a damn good pilot also....OH! He doesn't use rudders! Not even the keyboard rudders! So if he shot you down.....LOL!!! Let me refraize that...ROTFLMAO!!!!!
He's probably one of the best all around players this Sim has ever seen. Heaven knows he puts in enough hours.....
He has been known to go off the handle a time or two. Which one of you guy's(especially the loudest talkers on this thread) can throw the first stone?:rolleyes:
LLB OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I`ve always found whels to be an ok bloke.
I know what its lke to vent coz lord knows i do it often enuff, shows you have a competitive nature. No one likes to lose and its damn frustrating sometimes when "lag" seems to make them warp at "just the precise moment U fire". It does seem tooooo convenient sometimes.
Anyway what do I know I`m just a Spit Dweeb and I`ve "Never" flown a real plane.

Quick, they are calling whels a retarded whiner again, lets all form a group and post about how super a guy he is!
Please people.
I have been in this sim for years now, since the first day, and not once, in the hundreds of times I have witnessed whels say anything on channel 1 has it been something other than a whine or a warping claim.
So he either lives in a place where the internet connection consists of digital flying pigeons, or you people pity him so much that you endure him and the high pitch noise he constantly emits.
I for one am tired of having to squelch him.

i'm sure whels is a good guy... in person
he's a pompous blowhard in AH.
:)
-
Whels might be a good guy, but flying off the handle and accusing someone of cheating just because they're warping is also a little immature and nieve..
Warping is a known problem here and I would hope before anyone accuses someone like shamus ( who is a better man than most ) of cheating they would have a little more common sense and self respect to have more to go on than that.

Course it does! :D Anyway, accusing others of cheating is just a form of taunting! Nothing wrong with a bit of taunting of the enemies.... :p

sorry, gotta disagree on this - it being a *form* of taunting, that is.
