Are you going to use GTTV's Peer-to-Peer Downloads?

To go along with my blog post, here's the poll. Did you enable the "Advanced Downloading" feature in the Network Options?

now I did, but I wouldn't have w/o reading this post here

yeap. Didn't notice any speed differences, all files have downloaded in decent speed.

This option doesn't work yet. it will be implemented in the next firmware update.

This is true. Verb tense updated accordingly.

I would think that, when it's implemented, the biggest difference would be that you will be uploading the files as well, instead of just downloading. This will reduce the bandwidth required and load on PD/Sony's servers, as you will be able to get a file from anywhere, even if PD/Sony's servers are down.

I think its a good solution, you can download content even faster and your not depending fully on the servers of PD/Sony. It would be even better if you get a discount on items if you do this, lets say normally its 0.99 euro/dollar, cause you upload aswell, it will only cost .79 euro/dollar. Or maybe some special content will open up, if they do that, more people will activate it i think.

Also, I didnt know this was in the update, it was only cause of the newspost here on gtplanet i found out.

ah and obviously i voted yes :P

That's great. At least they were thinking about us for a change

I have it enabled, but not planning on using it much.
I hoped it would also work for online races so that, when you enter a value smaller than 512kbps, the game doesn't make you host.

But I don't think they thought of implementing such an option.

It does not say that! It says later!

So be patient
And yes i'll do some upload!

I probably won't use it. My upload isn't particuarly good and my connection is used by the family all the time... would be unfair to slow it right down.

I would do it though if it were my own connection.

I've enabled it as it seems to me to be a reasonable solution and I'd like to do my "bit". However, once it starts working I'll keep an eye on the bandwidth it uses, if it grabs too much, I'll have to disable it.

I agreed to participate. But, I have my doubts. Besides, I used my money to buy the game, I pay my monthly internet service bill, and now if I want to watch GT videos I'll have to pay for that too. On the other hand, if it's good for the community that's a motivation to participate. We'll just have to wait and see I guess.

By all means, help save Sony and PD some money on videos they've already charged you for by sharing your bandwidth!

Hmmm, wait, that didn't sound right.

I doubt I'll use it because I likely won't be downloading any GT:TV clips.

I enabled it. Anything to help speed up my downloads.

I have it enabled but I don't think I'll be of much use because I will never buy any downloaded content. Heard a good suggestion on Teamspeak (let us use those credits we earn in the game). What else can you do with the credits after you have your 146 cars and 2,000,000 credits: sell your cars for a loss and buy them again?

I enabled it on 128 Kbps, ~10% of my max upload

mine was at 256kbps...should i change it?

Depends on which connection you have

No, but only because I haven't researched everything it affects. If it is only for the GTTV, then I'm not really that interested. But if it will help on updates, then I will try it out.
