FFR Connection Speed Upgrade + New Feature Releases This Week

Posted in Uncategorized on March 20th, 2007

Well, not many of you thought we could get faster than dual gigabit up/down stream lines right? And while we didn’t actually upgrade our line speed, we had one serious datacenter core router upgrade that can more efficiently handle the flow of network traffic. This trickles down as higher speed and more responsiveness for the people that use FFR and will be noticed in page refreshes, multiplayer, file downloads and even FFR the game itself.

Yes, as many of you already know within a quarter second of visiting FFR tonight, the core router at the data center was finally replaced and we are off and running again. If everyone could do me a personal favor and spread the word (email, phone, word of mouth, person in class next to you) and let them know that FFR is finally back up to speed after 2 agonizing days of reduced bandwidth. Not only are we back, we are back and faster than hell. I was downloading files here from the site tonight and I kept maxing my cable connection out at around 550-600kbs. Has anyone had faster?

Last but not least we have a few new things to release to everyone this week in celebration of our upgrades. Check the news here throughout the day. I am sure that I will have more than a couple of things to post about. :) Muahaha.

Cheers,

Synthlight

  42. It’s still the same for me…..

  43. YAY!
    Finally, the game is now up and running faster than the speed it was when the site was down for a few days. I am not really sure how fast my computer goes, but it seems to be going at normal speed once more.

    It’s a good thing, right?

  44. That’s awesome.

    I hope that it works when I’m able to play this weekend.

    =DD

  45. I cannot stress enough that you guys should clear your cache. Maybe I should try and force clear it for you if you are still having troubles.

    Cheers,

    Synthlight

  46. i did clear it but it still doesnt work

  47. wow.. the site is faster as far as loading pages goes! :D good work!

  63. YES!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!

  64. i found that restarting the computer helps if ffr still doesnt work for u. just a thought

  65. theres a new token =D the song is HELLBEAT V2 i got the idea to check when he said “we are back and faster than hell.” i just need to find it now, it doesnt even say on the token list that its out yet, but look at the level stats page and find that song, only two ppl have done it. maybe its not officially out yet

  66. I’m getting around 230KB/s, but that’s about the fastest my speed goes, because of router problems… used to be just barely pushing 110KB/s here tho :)
