    Song Downloading

    It would be cool if you could either

    1. Go into the downloads section and download all the songs for FFR in one zip file.
    or,
    2. Make it where each time you loaded FFR it downloaded all the songs you haven't downloaded, so that you stay up to date.

    This would help dial-up users alot, since it takes so long for them to download it, they can just do other things while it's downloading, come back later and play all they want.

    Please post your comments...

      RE: Song Downloading

      We can't give out all the mp3's for each of the songs, because we don't have their permission. There is a sticky in FFR General with links to many of the artists websites.

      As for #2, what your browsers do is "cache" the songs, meaning it stores a local copy of it on your harddrive (only playable via FFR online) so when you come back, you can play it without having to redownload the whole file.

          But I have noticed that you can log in on FFR on a diffrent computer and play a song without having load it. As you did on a diffrent computer you loaded it on.

                  Uhh, that makes no sense, computers on different servers?

                      Like two diffrent servers as if they have two diffrent ISP's or server that connects to the internet. I can play FFR at home and every song I downloaded at home would not need to load at school (the other place I play FFR) But I never originally loaded a song there at school. I would just play songs I loaded at home.

                          Your school probably just has a very fast connection and there is no wait to download songs at that speed. My school has virtually no wait for downloading FFR.

                              Not really. I have cable at my house. And the school has DSL. I remember once I tried a new song and it had to load. Anyway I was accepted into a charter school and I will try FFR there sometime. If you only have to load what you havent loaded on your usenname, id want to say synthlight is pure geinus!

                                  I know that, but that shouldn't stop it from being able to get all the songs while the game is loading, should it?

                                      But the fact is everyone doesn't play every song, and it would hugely increase our bandwidth costs which is already huge, plus it would take forever on dialup, and slower cable connections
