I know how some teams have hyper-inflated thier stats.

They use VMWare (the version that just became free for everyone).... and a Linux Distro, and then run DIMES in each VMPlayer.... If you have enough RAM, you can get upwards of 24 VMPlayers at once.... (which one guy has done supposedly).

Is that a legit way to do it or would that be like cheating?
 
teh joined.
:)
ok, I just installed, joined the team...is there anything else I need to do to config? or does it just run automatically?
maybe there could be a post made under the "other DC projects" and made sticky "DIMEing for teh n00bs"...and we could do that for other DC's also
 
If nothing else, minimize the time between measurements.

Agent --> Properties --> Network button

I maxed out the file transfer rate too... college 'net is blazing fast.
 
ok guys... what's up with the scores?

7. new_Faction64 27,659 0
8. jheizer 19,880 4

If I read right, AS nodes and links mean ISP servers, or something like that.

I'm guessing the amount earned depends on if the servers give you the IPs or not.

yeah I'm sure there's an explanation, could have been some kwirk on their server, some big assignment they gave you...w/e, I think normal measurements matter more, cause if you look at the Top Teams for the normal measurements and AS measurements, there's big differences in standings, but then again, that could mean something.
