Bored, posting up a stupid Topic.

Cool, I was playing Agata Relics with 2 NPCs and I got a really good layout with Lutus Jiggas. I had my Torrents running and downloading "Hayate the Combat Butler".

I thought it was cool that I got a good layout, then later the internet started going slow on PSU. Lutus Jiggas showed up and then they were kicking my butt because I had no control since weapons do not load. I wasted a scape because my Resta Rod wouldn't load until like 40 seconds, thought I dcd and got furious and wrote this.

Lutus Jiggas fight different from Regular Suvaltis. They move so fast and glide everywhere. I dcd on that layout. I could have had 10 Lutus Jigga items. Its just Goldania right?

This picture doesn't show up when I put Preview. Oh well, its just a picture of two Gold Suvaltises.

Its not that bad of loss.

PSU isn't very network intensive when you're not using voice chat, so I have no problem running torrents while playing.

You are getting slow speeds on your torrents then. I never have them going when playing a game online so i don't know if it does on mine, but it lags when other people in my house connect to the net. They aren't doing anything much, just browsing web pages, so i can imagine what a good torrent would do :/

Hopefully, there aren't many more PCs in your home or streamings, otherwise, your speed can be affected greatly too.

On a similar story, my bro was hunting rappies & he's a room away from them when the connection died. Maybe not as painful, but just as annoying for the wasted effort.

This happens to me when my siblings are over because my 360's connection is sapped by my sister reading her fan fiction crap ALL DAY.

Admittedly I'm not running torrents at max possible speed while playing, but I can keep them at around 50-60 kbps with little to no ill effects on gameplay. I'm on a 3M DSL connection by the way, so it's not like I have some kind of super-speed line.

I went over to my cousin's house this past weekend to rid his computer of viruses, they have 12Mb Cable...I only wish I had something to download when I went over there http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif
