RE: Taekwondo/StarGladiator/SoulLinker
If by star gladiator 'union' you mean 'Soul of the Star Gladiator' yes it works, been for a month or so.

As for an idea on how to get the new client for everyone, I had an idea and was wondering if all of you would like it.

I could download the full client update (from RO site), patch it with 'Hero patcher' meaning i'd have the latest updates.

Then compress the folder into a zip and host it over bit torrent.

You see on bit torrent, you can download, and if your connection fail, you can then resume the transfer from where it last left, you can even leave your comp open with your connection that will deco/reco and BT will always try to reconnect once the connection has restarted. Meaning even those with bumpy connections would get to easyly download the file (even if it would take a bit more time).

Also, on BT, everyone download but upload in the same time, meaning that everyone could download at a good speed instead of 1k/s (because my max upload is 80k).

We could start sharing the fully updated client 2~3 weeks before applying the new classes, giving everyone time to update their client.

For someone downloading at 1k/s (assuming someone has a 1,4k/s modem) it would take 222 hours to download it, meaning around 10 days.

I doubt any of you have such low connection concidering you couldn't even play RO without lagging like hell.

Also for those who don't know, BitTorrent is a small program (around 3~4MB) which allow you to click on torrent link and download them. It basically is the same thing as clicking on a normal link, its just that the file is shared by many people instead of a single host. You click the link, a download window will open allowing you to resume from where you last left, if you want, you can close the download and continue it later in the same day.

What do you all think?

(On a side note, you don't have to 'share' on bit torrent, you can set your upload to 0, but it would be nice if those who have better connections would help me!, I understand those who download at 10k or less to not want to share upload.)
