File Manifest Takes Longer?

[Wesley Williams]

Ever since... v17? When Badspot changed the add-on download system through Blockland, it takes exceptionally longer for me to download add-ons and spawn in-game.

The file manifest takes forever... and before it used to just be 'downloading this file' then 'downloading that'. Each would take a second and I was in. But now it is 'downloading file 1...' and each file takes at least 30 seconds.

Is there are problem here or am I just going to have to live with it? I liked the old system better, as far as getting in-game quickly goes.

and yet it is faster than it would've been :D
also, in v17 it would've been slower, as we did not have the new system

The 'new system' is 20 times slower for me.
Not sure what you mean.

Are you sure you're not just downloading very large files? Maybe something is wrong on your end, because everyone else is getting a lot faster speeds.
Also keep in mind the reason there are so many files to download is because you have to redownload everything,

Yes I know, but it's already been over a month :\

And I'm downloading all the same stuff as last time... and it's going extremely slow.
Compared to the old system, each file takes around 2-4 times longer to download... and every now and then each file will take 20 times longer, around 20-30 seconds each ;(

It actually faster your just not patient enough.
It also helps stop your computer from going too fast.
It keeps it in Nuetral.

What do you mean it keeps downloading the same stuff? Is there even any possible way to know that?

So if I become patient, it will magically become faster than it was before v17? I'll try that, thanks.

It's downloading the same add-ons as it did when I first got Blockland, and back then it went way fast. I was always the first to spawn (normally about 5 seconds). Now my usual spawn time is 1-2 minutes.

Forgot to mention that when I am loading datablocks, Blockland begins glitching out. My mouse and text glitch like crazy (appear in spurts).

If anyone has a solution, help would be greatly appreciated. ;)
