Sweden is like 1/20th the size of America. It's a lot harder over here to run fiber optics to anyone outside of the densest packed cities. Even without fiber, the speeds are bogged down by kilometers of copper wire between hubs. The chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. It's the same situation up here in Canada. Actual country size is the main reason why Sweden, Korea and Japan can afford such blindingly fast and affordable net speeds.
Loving #160, and the SC2 countdown party was great. (I turned the stream on before I went to sleep so I was woken up at 7am by Day9 for a day of SC2 awesomeness, sadly had to get on a plane so missed the last game).
However streaming #160 on blip.tv has been troublesome, it keeps stopping the video to tell me I don't have enough bandwidth and I should switch streams or something. This is really annoying and never used to happen. In the past I just had to stop and let it buffer for a while. Bliptv doesnt seem to buffer while paused anymore.
heres the whole error msg: A low bandwidth issue is causing this video to buffer excessively. You may have a better experience if you switch streaming modes.

Then I can't see how Sweden's running 100 mb/s while England's struggling with 3mb/s, ditto for Belgium (at least when I lived there).
Sorry for asking, i saw the last 4 Episodes throughout the last weeks, and there was one episode, where day9 was screaming into the microphone like crazy which made me laugh very much. Does anyone remember which #dayly it was and at which time exactly?
Day9 will you be in the HDH2? Also you should check out CheckPrime, #2 ranked player in the world, and one of the best zerg I have seen. He goes with one base play and easily beats the imba terran.
Loved #160, thanks day9 for the awesome countdown party, it will be remembered as a big big win. I didnt watched all of it (because Im EU and I did a 3 days Zelda marathon just before it) but it was so cool, the tournament was brilliant and the whole event seemed so well prepared, really really nice job.
Day 9, I would like to make a request. I'm a platinum protoss player and represent a vast majority of protoss players who are having huge difficulty dealing with Terran match-ups. If you go on the SC2 protoss strategy forums, literally every thread is addressing the difficulty protoss players are having in PvT. The main problem is the ineffectiveness of protoss Tier 1 units against MMM and that "gap" in between gateway units, and teching up to collossus. The common response from players is, "you have to out-expand the terran," or "FF your ramp until the end of time," well these two responses kind of collide. You can't really hold down an expansion until you get Tier 3 units on the field because protoss T1 is at a huge disadvantage towards MMM pushes.
Day9, you probably have a 1 megaBYTE connection. There are 8 megabits in a megabyte, so the internet speed only tops off at 100/8=12.5megabytes dl and 75/8=9.375 megabytes upload, and some of that is probably allotted to the other people using the internet, including the college's website servers, so the internet probably wasnt THAT fast. I thought I'd just point that out.
EDIT: Also, the .avi movie format sucks, you should have made it into an .mp4, that codec is about 1/8th the size and just as good if not better quality.

Anyway thanks for casting
Yeah I get the same problem, only seems to occur on some videos. Some of them you can pause and let them load but others won't prebuffer. No idea what that's about.

Would love to see it again hehe
I'm pretty sure its #157, possibly #158 but most likely #157 as it's the first one after the launch party. I don't know what time sorry but I think it's early on
This. I have massive trouble with Terran now I'm in platinum. If the game goes any longer then 15min I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose. Marines and marauders defend the entrance, and they'll tech up to tanks which makes any attack impossible. Air seems pretty much useless seeing that they can pop out a few vikings and everything is negated.
I'm at a loss as to how to beat Terran pretty much. :S

Forget tanks and just mass marauders and vikings.
You'd be surprised how well it works as long as your enemy is not getting a critical number (20+) of tanks.
Hey Day[9] can you or anybody else can tell me whats the name of the song you played on the small talk before your 159 daily..the good one not the scary random noise crap :D but from the same album as the same scary random noise crap xD
Every consider offering replay commentary to people for a fee? I'd be willing to "donate/pay" a pretty reasonable amount to give commentary on a replay of a game I'd lost.
You could put it up too for other people, though as I'm only a low diamond/high platnum player it probably wouldn't be too interesting to the masses (though you have a way of making most games pretty interesting).
Just gotta say I lol'd quite abit when you were on about the internet connection at harvey mud.. I mean, I know the internet-infrastructure is quite far behind in USA, but seriously. I had 100/100 at my HOME 6 years ago, for practically no money at all. I got myself a giggle :D

It's true, but considering what you just said, people in big cities should have the avalibility. Meaning schools should deffo have it covered. We're talking gigabit speeds in the big schools here in sweden.
It's a matter of how you can actually lay the infrastructure and how much it costs - much of the USA and its cities just doesnt allow it, meaning it will just cost Shitloads of money - i.e usually not worth it.
