253966 2004-07-20 11:18:00 Can someone please tell me more about playing Jetstream Games.

1. Do I have to login differently other than my usual Jetstream login, e.g. xxx.xadsl@xtra.co.nz?
2. How does it affect my normal usage?
3. Is it faster /slower than my normal speed (currently at 256K)

Cheers

253967 2004-07-20 11:24:00 Set your dsl router to login as user@jetstreamgames.co.nz (have to check if it's games with an s or without) you may or may not need to put a password in or just keep you usual. You can browse to either JSgames or ParadiseGames and it will work. I've had around 300KBytes/second (not Kbits, ie. compared to your current 28-30KBytes) downloading linux distro's and Americas Army. Have never palyed a game on the servers thought.

253969 2004-07-20 11:32:00 Is there any more information about this in Xtra's website? Apparently, I couldn't find anything.

yes, use user@jetstreamgames . co . nz

Password - either leave as is or leave blank

It doesn't - all JSG Realm traffic is 'free' . It doesn't count towards your traffic quota .

Much faster for downloading - at full Jetstream speed, depending on your line conditions . Don't expect better gaming pings though . Games don't use all the bandwidth and therefore, on my 256, I get around 40-50 ping for Battlefield, and the same on the JSG log in .

Once connected to the realm, go to . jetstreamgames . co . nz/files/" target="_blank">ftp2 . jetstreamgames . co . nz and look for something that interests you, download it and see what sort of speed you get .

You can look at the Jetstream Games Forum at http://jetstreamgames . co . nz/ whilst connected to the Realm, look to the forums for information regarding what games are available on the Xtra, Paradise and Jetstream Games servers .

253972 2004-07-20 11:53:00 Only 300kBytes/sec murray? That's a bit on the slow side, we get double that!

Also I don't recommend downloading files off the webpage while browsing the FTP, use an FTP client like Filezilla (opensource goodness).

All-Seeing-Eye for searching the servers for games.

253973 2004-07-20 12:03:00 Yer, I've had higher but over a file downlaod I averaged 297KB. That's pretty good enough for me going from 128k ;)

It sounds like you already know about the answers to your original question, but just want confirmation?

Go to . jetstreamgames . co . nz/forums/" target="_blank">www . jetstreamgames . co . nz and ask the moderators there, they'll confirm what you ask .
