Kylyssa Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 if you are just inworld organizing your inventory, does it use much bandwidth? Not sure if that is the correct word, but I am limited to 5 gb a month right now so I usually go inworld when I am someplace else where I am not limited. But I would like to organize my inventory at home. So if anyone knows I would appreciate the help. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggy Paperdoll Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Organizing your inventory is going to take time in-world....that will increase your bandwidth usage (just being in-world requires data sent back and forth from and to your computer). But the actual "moving" of files around in your inventory will not use up much at all..........probably none, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knowl Paine Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 An empty Region, will use less bandwidth. Turning off sound, voice, and streaming media in Preferences, will reduce bandwidth usage. Lower your draw distance, set your Avatar to Busy Mode. Flying up in the sky, and working there can help to reduce bandwidth. Find a new internet service provider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylyssa Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Thanks. I may try some of those suggestions. Yes!!! A new internet provider---we are waiting on that. Just waiting to be scheduled in and then my worries will be over--I will be able to be on as much as I want. I just figured I could get some inventory work done, lol.

Sebastian Joliat Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Plus - once your surroundings rez, slide your maximum bandwidth down to 50 kbps. (I'm also bandwidth challenged........) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knowl Paine Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Excellent suggestion, I had forgotten about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggy Paperdoll Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 And to take it a step further you don't need your surroundings to rezz at all if all you are doing is inventory stuff.......though if you set the bandwidth low before your inventory loads that might cause headaches. But, no matter what you don't need to have your draw distance set to 256 meters either......64 should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Jetaime Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Since all you are doing is inventory sorting you may find using a text based viewer your best bet for keeping bandwidth low. Two such viewers are Metabolt and Radegast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
