I reckon they throttle their download speeds only when the load on their servers is high.

I reckon they throttle their download speeds only when the load on their servers is high. Could be. I was downloading this small file for ~10 minutes In my experience I can d/l files only at around 200kB/s from RD at best. p.s. I'm on 100/40 fiber with Internode, I have no restrictions on my connection. In my experience I can use near-full speed at any time unless there's some restriction on the other side. « Last Edit: March 28, 2019, 08:46:10 AM by Bird » Logged Dave O RestrictedRacing Sr. Member Posts: 380 Karma: 16 Re: S27R5: Tsukuba Race Chat « Reply #6 on: March 28, 2019, 10:22:55 AM » Interesting never had any problems with downloads from RD here.

I should have practiced starts with this little thing...pretty much screwed up all of them...maybe 2nd race not too bad. I was able to go fast, but traffic made it hard. It was damn close there in the last race, Able, wasn't it? Good on you Logged bradc RestrictedRacing Sr. Member Posts: 395 Karma: 8 Re: S27R5: Tsukuba Race Chat « Reply #10 on: April 02, 2019, 11:03:17 PM » Man that was a tough night!!! I had some great battles in every race and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Whilst for two races I got so sick of watching Phil’s Mustang disappear down the straights to close in at the apex. There were several times I tried to put a pass on during corner entry only to have to that dam Mustang appear on the outside and then blast away down the straight. To his credit for two long races Phil didn’t make a mistake whilst I made plenty and I’m sure the bill for hitting his right side door that many times is going to be huge!

I see I was 13th fastest overall yet finished 6th and two 7ths. Shows the difference between outright qualifying times and racing together.My basic plan was to use the Nissan jump to get as many places as possible then do my best to hold off the Arbath's as they came hunting.And that is how the night went! The Abarth's were definitely quicker but by holding the apex and not making any mistakes I was able to hold off most challenges . . . . but it was certainly tough!

I eventually made up a couple of places, but only finished 11th.Race 3 wasn't too bad, but I was off the pace after making some minor setup changes before the race. I was in the thick of it further back in the field, but half way through the race I understeered in the hairpin before the back straight, slid on the kerb and put the nose of my car into the wall, which dropped me 3 places and I finished 12th.My worst round Logged “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time” Joe Hero Member Posts: 2368 Karma: 39 Re: S27R5: Tsukuba Race Chat « Reply #14 on: April 03, 2019, 01:43:33 PM » Good night but couldn't match Russ' pace.Race 1 got a better start; he was stuck behind Wally and I was behind Mael. After I saw Russ was ahead of Wally I knew I had to make a move on Mael pretty soon before he closed the gap which fortunately I did then managed a 2.5 sec gap to Russ till the end.Race 2 got away ahead again, but with Russ literally on my ass for 11 or 12 laps I finally made a mistake and went on to the grass letting him pass.Race 3 Russ got away in front and just pulled ahead I couldn't match the pace.Seemed like maybe having some wing was the way to go and I was a lot looser in the corners. If I parked it on the apex I could block and pull away on the straights but that meant not making a single mistake which was too much for last night.
