I've added a new item to the item shop called 'Game Accelerator' (as seen here) which makes the RGR game downloads up to 10 times faster. I did a test on a 13 MB file, without the item the game downloaded in 65 seconds but with the item, the game downloaded in 5 seconds. Staff members don't need the item for faster downloads.

So how does this work? Basically if you own the 'Game Accelerator' item, or are a staff member, your game downloads download from a separate dedicated server than the downloads that regular users have access to. So the site now has 2 servers dedicated to hosting the files.

This does increase monthly costs by nearly $200 but I had to do something because the regular file server gets a lot of downloads and big games can take a very long time to download so for users who play a lot of big games, this is a great solution. This could also pull a little strain off of the regular file server too which could potentially speed up the downloads on that a little. I'm also hoping this encourages users to donate in order to get the 'Game Accelerator' item since it's a very handy item to own.

For now, the Game Accelerator item will cost 10,000 Viz but that price will slowly go up as more and more users get the item so be sure to get it now at the best price, otherwise you could pay 2-5 times more in the future.

Staff : I thought you all should know about this, especially since you all benefit from this. Please give me feedback on how much faster your game downloads are now

This is actually a really good idea. I actually feel that it is a little too cheap. Have too many people using this and it will be pointless.

I love this thing! So if I buy this will it make the psx games load faster? I think this is really going to make the value of Viz go up and make every one happy for now. Awesome job, can't wait to see what you think of next!

Tails the Fox : 60,000 people use the site a day. Even if 1000 users a day play games using this item, that'd be only 1.6% of the people on the site connecting to the new file server which is a very low number. It'd take a lot of users to own the item before we'd all notice a difference in download speeds.

Plus, I like the 10,000 Viz price since a user can get it with a simple $10 donation, which is something everyone should be able to afford (unless of course you live in a box but than you probably wouldn't have a computer or internet).

As I said though, I'll probably slowly increase the price as more users start to buy it.

GenesisJunkie : Since you're a staff member, you don't need the item for the faster downloads. Once you are no longer staff though, than you'd need it.

It makes all games download faster, even PSX games.

ender44 : If you don't have a fast internet connection than you probably aren't going to notice a huge difference. For me personally, I'm seeing a huge difference, the downloads are more than 10 times faster.

Looks like this is going to come in handy. I just tested a 80 MB file as logged in and it downloaded in 40 seconds whereas downloading it as a guest took 60 seconds. That's about 30% faster

Davideo7 : Great! This will really help me add screenshots to psx games. 
Are you going to make it so users can do an offer to get the item? 
Also are you still going to make an app with a donation option in it? This would increase donations.

Wow... this is... amazing!  I'm definitely thrilled about this, as this will make my job so much easier and faster.  I haven't had the time to test it yet, but I'll take your word for it that it works.  This is incredible.... I'm sorry it increased site expenses, but thank you!!!

I'll probably buy the accelerator item anyway, even though I'm staff. May not be necessary, but if I have to step down later, beats having to pay the future price increase to get it back.

As for the download speed, seems to be faster. :3

Davideo7 : Sweet, this is awesome. Great feature and really cool that it's an item that users can purchase.

I already had pretty fast downloads on Vizzed, so I can only imagine how fast it will be now.
