A youtube custom thumbnail

As self explanatory as the title suggests.

This will be the custom thumbnail I'll be using for my up and coming series - Gal Civ 3 played with custom brikwars factions (which are now finished and back in the game).

The blank space along the bottom middle/right will be used to show episode number and name.

What do ya'll think of it?

I like it. The scribble gives it the correct sense of whimsy. I'm curious what you mean about custom Brikwars factions. Like, skins and everything? Or just names?

Uploading now, unfortunately the local connection is a little better for downloads where I am now, but far worse for uploads - standing at 14 hours per half hour episode.

Expect the first episode some time tomorrow morning, GMT.

Upload speed is always a good indicator of how fast your internet really is.

Depending on your provider, upload speeds are always slower than download.
Thats just the way they set it up.
Then it all really depends on what tier of service you bought.

I just did the comcast speed test
IPv4
Down: 29.6 Mbps (3.7MB/s I usually get 3.3 max in normal use)
Up: 6.0 Mbps (.75 MB/s I only upload low memory images of naked minifigs)

My previous flat had 25 Megabit/s download and 100 Megabit/s upload. Never got a chance to use that speed for anything though. Honestly have no idea why they'd give an upload speed 4 times that of the download.

It's great if you want to do p2p file sharing or host a pr0n server out of your house. You really missed on a chance to make some money, dude.

Oh dude thats even better, you can leave your computers on doing crypto shit all night. It's basically free money. Was this before, after, or during the early bitcoin era? You could have made like, at least a thousand bucks a month with an ok dedicated cpu and poor optimization.
