Data Usage by Beta?

**TheWanderer** · 22-09-2011, 01:59

A question to the beta testers:
What is the total amount of data uploaded/downloaded during a play session?(Around an hour)

Since I have a hard cap on internet usage, I would like to know how much the game uses.

To clarify, I'm not asking about the speed required, but the total data downloaded.

You can use a program like Netmeter or the like.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone out there?

*bump*

I haven't checked, but I'll have a look next time I play.

Edit* I played the DH today for about 2 hours, as well as browsed many websites forums etc. I have downloaded 85mb and uploaded 24.54mb in that entire time (including web browsing). I'll do a more accurate measurement soon without the web browsing

That works out to ~2.8 KBps (or is it Kbps? I don't know what the megab's we're in your post). Either way, not a lot of bandwidth required. Downloaded is probably going to be a lot harder to calculate with the web browsing

I'm sure 1 hour game traffic is going to be way less than 1 hour of normal web browsing, game usually move just a couple of KB/s up and down as far as i know, at least with left 4 dead it goes around those numbers if i recall correctly.

Back when I was close to my download limit and had to take note of daily usages, I found myself just doing nothing online but playing SC2 and I was blown away with how little it downloaded. It was about 20-40 megs per day. That included browsing on this site too while I was waiting for coop to pop. I played for about 4-6 hours or so each day, over those days.
