Hi,

I wondered if there was a way to reduce the amount that SL downloads when I play. I dropped my bandwidth down and increased the cache but I am still downloading over a GB a day. It wasn't a problem until I changed ISPs and had to go on a limited plan as unlimited packages aren't available with my current connection type. Any suggestions would be appreciated (unless of course they are play SL less. =)

Pretty much only thing you can do to avoid downloading to much is to avoid everyone completly and never move out of the sim, pref high high above the clouds, and face the ocean constantly to avoid rezing , wich er...make it a chat program basicly -.-

You can try various bandwidth limiters to tho, they can set a max down/up max pr day/limit how fast they download, i use this one >
