MMO best practice. Download music and heavy files to users hard disk?

MMO best practice. Download music and heavy files to users hard disk?
I have just downloaded a Hello Kitty MMO app for research (for my kid of course).
I am developping my English teaching app with LOADS of classical music, mp3 sentences and heavy background bgs. Would the best idea be for client to download these to their hardisk ie I would not need to stream them and therefore save a fortune on bandwidth charges from my ISP???
Cheers

I see what you mean ie: they have to get the file to their computer one way or another BUT
a. If they are going to repeatedly use that file ie: a custom cursor or classical piece of music every week when they log on then it would be better for them to have it on their hardisk wouldn't it? If not, they would have to download it every time they log on. I take it that's why the hello kitty site makes you download 130 megas so you have everything on your hardisk, ie: you will be reusing all those assets MANY times in the future. The experience wil be very FAST as you have it on your local disk and needn't have to wait for streaming.

    Hello I have a iMac with 3.4 GHZ intel core I7, memory 16 GB 1333 MHZ DDR3, and OS X 10.9.4 Software.
    I have problems when I try to copy or modify any file from my MAC to MY PORTABLE DRIVE/DISQUE (external hard disk).

    Please help me..
    Thanks a lot

    Click on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, and check the format.
    If it's formatted as NTFS, reformat it as MS-DOS, exFAT, or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as desired, or install software such as Paragon NTFS on the computer.
    If it's formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, use the Disk Utility's Repair Disk command on it; this may also happen for a flash drive which is about to fail.
    If it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, click Authenticate and provide your administrator password, or change the permissions on that specific folder in its Get Info window.

  • Downloading music and temporary files

    When downloading a song from the internet... it goes to a temporary folder and then it dissapears from itunes after a few days, is there a setting that I can change to modify this behavior??
    Thanks

    No, but I'm surprised it takes a few days to disappear.
    Many programs use this method - create a temp file to make sure the whole thing gets downloaded, then move it to the final location, and finally delete the temp file.

  • How to Retore Music and iTunes Library backup after Hard Disk Crash?

    My Windows Vista is not booting and HP recommends I should go back to factory setting, which means I will have to create new Windows user profile etc. I have a complete backup of Music folder, iTunes folder, iTunes library files etc.
    1. What should I do to ensure that my iTunes works with all rating, playcount, played dates etc. intact?
    2. Would my purchased content - e.g. iPod Touch apps work fine, if copied to the same directory?

    +I have a complete backup of Music folder, iTunes folder, iTunes library files etc.+
    That's good! You've backed up the metadata, since its stored in the itunes folder. It's in a file named
    iTunes Library.itl
    Get your PC repaired, install itunes, restore the backup files, and everything should work.
    Here is a good article from iLounge that discusses itunes content vs itunes library. You are pretty much moving your library to a new PC, at this point.

  • HT1386 The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?

    The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?

    If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.

  • Best Practice regarding using and implementing the pref.txt file

    Hi All,
    I would like to start a post regarding what is Best Practice in using and implementing the pref.txt file. We have reached a stage where we are about to go live with Discoverer Viewer, and I am interested to know what others have encountered or done to with their pref.txt file and viewer look and feel..
    Have any of you been able to add additional lines into the file, please share ;-)
    Look forward to your replies.
    Lance

    Hi Lance
    Wow, what a question and the simple answer is - it depends. It depends on whether you want to do the query predictor, whether you want to increase the timeouts for users and lists of values, whether you want to have the Plus available items and Selected items panes displayed by default, and so on.
    Typically, most organizations go with the defaults with the exception that you might want to consider turning off the query predictor. That predictor is usually a pain in the neck and most companies turn it off, thus increasing query performance.
    Do you have a copy of my Discoverer 10g Handbook? If so, take a look at pages 785 to 799 where I discuss in detail all of the preferences and their impact.
    I hope this helps
    Best wishes

  • HT3702 Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases.  Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

    Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases.  Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • Want to download music and sound from YouTube?

    I had used Dirpy to download music and other sounds from YouTube for my personal use only in FCE, so when Dirpy bought the farm this week, I went in search of an alternative.
    A lot of searching brought up sites that wanted me to download something - scary - and one even asked for my email addy so that what I wanted could be mailed to my email function.
    I found one that did not require me to download anything from its site, was simplicity itself to use and gave exceptional results.
    I dragged the site's URL to my desktop, pasted the URL of the desired music clip from YouTube into the site's box, and in no time at all the sound was converted to MP3 and was deposited directly into iTunes.
    Before you follow suit, check it to assure yourself that it is legitimate. And be absolutely sure to read up on copyright laws as they relate to music.
    I like it. See what you think.
    I tried to include the link in this post, but this apparently contravenes the rules of this forum, and it was rejected. The name of the site is Listen To You Tube and should be easy enough to find.

  • What is the best practice in securing deployed source files

    hi guys,
    Just yesterday, I developed a simple image cropper using ajax
    and flash. After compiling the package, I notice the
    package/installer delivers the same exact source files as in
    developed to the installed folder.
    This doesnt concern me much at first, but coming to think of
    it. This question keeps coming out of my head.
    "What is the best practice in securing deployed source
    files?"
    How do we secure application installed source files from
    being tampered. Especially, when it comes to tampering of the
    source files after it's been installed. E.g. modifying spraydata.js
    files for example can be done easily with an editor.

    Hi,
    You could compute a SHA or MD5 hash of your source files on
    first run and save these hashes to EncryptedLocalStore.
    On startup, recompute and verify. (This, of course, fails to
    address when the main app's swf / swc / html itself is
    decompiled)

  • How do you download music and burn to a cd so it will play in a car radio

    How do you download music and burn to a cd so it will play in a car radio?

    Download the tracks you want form the iTunes Store, Amazon MP3, or other online music retailer.
    Use iTunes to put them into a playlist.
    Open the playlist and click File > Burn Playlist to Disc.   (Have a blank CD-R ready for this step.)  When the dialog comes up, choose "Audio CD." 
    This will create an audio CD that will play in a normal CD player such as the kind found in cars.

  • Best practice for checking out a file

    Hello,
    What is the SAP best practice to check out a file? (DTR -> EDit or DTR -> Edit Exclusive?)
    What are pros and cons of checking out a file exclusively?
    Thanks
    MLS

    Thanks Pascal.
    Also, I think if a developer checks out exclusively, makes changes and leaves the company without checking in, the only way is to revert those files in which case all his changes will be gone.

  • What's the best practice to manage the page file?

           
    We have one Hyper-v Server running windows 2012 R2 with 128 GB RAM and 2 drives (C and D). It setup Automatically manage page file size for all drives. What's the best practice to manage the page file?
    Bob Lin, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Install and Configure Windows, VMware, Virtualization and Cisco on http://www.HowToNetworking.com

    For Hyper-V systems, my general recommendation is to set the page file to 1-4 GB. This allows for a mini-dump should something happen. 99.99% of the time, Microsoft will be able to figure out the cause of the problem from the mini-dump. It does not make
    sense on a Hyper-V system to set aside enough space to capture all the memory on the system because only a very small portion of that memory is used by the parent partition. Most of the memory is under control of the individual VMs.
    Yes, I had one of the Hyper-V product group tell me that I should let Windows manage it.  A couple of times I saw space on my system disk disappear because the algorithm decided it wanted all the space for the page file.  Made it so I couldn't
    patch my systems.  Went back in and set the page file to 1-4 GB and have not had any issues since.

  • Hw can i download music and videos in lumina710

    Hw can i download music and videos in lumina710 directly from mobile web????!!#!
    Y my mobile Lumina is not getting web continuously having full signal too

    Hey Lumina710, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
    Im afraid if you are looking to put video or music content on your Lumia 710 you will have to download the files onto your PC and transfer them accross using Zune software. However you can still stream content rather than download it. 
    You can also purchase music in the Marketplace application.
    I hope this helps!

    Samia,
    It would probably be best to rewrite your application to take advantage
    of the 8.1 versions of Weblogic authentication and Portal property
    management.
    In 8.1 Portal :
    1. has an Authentication class where we basically use
    weblogic.servlet.security.ServletAuthentication.weak(username, password,
    request).
    http://e-docs.bea.com/wlp/docs81/javadoc/com/bea/p13n/security/Authentication.html
    2. has a AtnManagerProxy class where we check user existence and member
    of, have methods to add remove users and groups, etc.
    http://e-docs.bea.com/wlp/docs81/javadoc/com/bea/p13n/security/management/authentication/AtnManagerProxy.html
    3. has a LdapPropertyManager EJB which is configurable through the
    p13n_ejb.jar deployment descriptors (ejb-jar.xml and
    weblogic-ejb-jar.xml) for retrieving user properties from an LDAP
    Directory Server.
    In 7.0+ and 8.1 Weblogic Server a new more flexible security provider
    framework was added to permit more flexible use of multiple security
    stores, perimeter authentication, and role mapping.
