Slowing down your connection...

[1510982]

Hey there!

I bet most of you have broadband connections. But if you develop applications for countries with mostly 56k modems, you ought to have a 56k yourself to test how the flash/site loads. I don't have 56k myself but a 2024kb. Now I'm wondering, if there's a program that slows you connection down to certain kbps. Making a huge download with P2P application doesn't work either! I am searching for this piece of software for a long time now. Thanks for any tips, have a nice day!

When testing your movie in flash, (ctrl+enter or option+return(mac) go to debug menu on top and set whatever speed you want your movie to load at.

Hey, ticke!
Thanks for the tips. But the problem is to exactly see how all flashs in THE SITE come up, not only one flash. And some of flash even download some images from other server and some of images destinations are retrieved from database. I'd like to see the whole picture (THE SITE ITSELF) running at 56 kbps, not only one flash. Thanks for the tips, I hope anyone has a solution.

Get yourself an old 56k dialup modem and a phone line.

I've kept mine for that purpose only... And when cable sometimes goes down!

If I had an option of getting a 56 kbps modem working in my room, I'd already do it. In developed country I live in, we have ADSL but no ordinary phone, we all use mobile phones instead of it... Grrr! But as you see, sometimes even this is horror, hehe.
