Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
I have got a new host for the bandwidth eating files and have switched over the downloads section to use it.
I do not know whether you will find the speeds faster or slower, as these things tend to be country specific, but hopefully it should keep up with demand.
Update: I have setup anonymous FTP access on the host for the uploading of videos, maps, and interstate related stuff. You can find more details in the upload file link above.
