OMG GUYS WE FORGETS ABOUT SOUTH AMERICA LOL.

I stated in a previous post that the bandwith depends on the LOCATION of the GAME server, not the location of the LIST server.


Shall I point it out in text diagram?

You start up jj2 and tell it to find some partymode games. so:


Your computer-> Thousands of kilometers of wire-> List server


The list server give you a list of games that are on currently. so:


List server-> Thousands of kilometers of wire-> Your computer


You choose a game ("UFS SERVER OF DOOM LOL") so, your computer sends out a connection request to the GAME SERVER. so:

Your computer -> Thousands of kilometers of wire -> Game server

Get it? The list server only detects games in progress. The reason we have to connect to them when we start a new game server is to let the list servers know the game is online.
