Hamachi

Mithosphere · October 23rd, 2006

Ok since this is a networking thing, it should fit.
My friends and i use Hamachi, its like a virtual LAN, we play lots of games and can even rips files from each other. My problem is that it takes so freaking long for my transfers. . . Could this be due to my connection, or the ethernet port (its 10/100 btw), or simply because my computer sucks?

I believe it would be due to the connection. I know when I was at my college, the internet would slow waaayyyy down when everyone was on at peak time.

Yea but Hamachi is pretty slow also! I used it for just a short time, and had really slow up and down's. Don't get me wrong, it is a good program, I just thought is was a bit slow.

Hamachi + filetransfers = BAD. As a Hamachi user who plays games through it regularly, it is NOT the ideal way to transfer files. Use Xdrive :) However, as far as Hamachi goes, it is certainly fast enough for gaming, pings never top 50 in most games, usually they actually stay below 20 even with one person on a 128kbit connection.
