    Jim got the new server online today, hopefully better download speeds for you guys across the pond who find the US and Australia based servers too slow. Just look for the new link when downloading. Please spread the word :)

    Update: Initial server launch a tad problematic. It is not syncing properly, but Jim and Phillip are working on it. I dont do anything but make posts on the board. Im like on of them politicians who tells everybody whats going on, without telling them anything. So, its like broken and stuff, but will be fixed in the coming days :)

    Yeah -- the France server got really weird on us. I think Phillip finally threw a croissant at it, and it’s been happy ever since.

    To offer a download location closer to each visitor. This comes in handy for larger and obsolete downloads.

    Been a few hiccups. Naturally buying an inexpensive server comes with some quality issues, but were trying to deliver lots of download sites without going broke, so bear with us as we do stuff like this. We also have to sync the servers together, etc., but as long as Philipp is on the case, were in good hands :)
