The implementation that I wrote for Singularity (not yet in the the official release) is more on the side of "blazing fast" :p. The bottleneck is entirely server-side, but I've seen download speeds of 1 MB/s non-stop till all textures were there. This code should be in the next release in about a week. I'm currently working on implementing upcoming support for connection reuse by the servers (although that will still take a long time before they will start to support that, I understood). I'd like to opt that this code will be an alternative for third party viewers, and might very well turn out to be more robust ;) -- Carlo Wood <ca...@alinoe.com> _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
