Server hosting

Is it possible in Torque to have a server host the file's? Have the game connect to the main server and get the models and texture's and user data. I'm making a MMO, i want my user's data saved on my server and my models so they don't get stollen. Is this possible?

I don't know if it works out of the box with Torque, but if you're making an MMO, out of the box features won't be much of a choice anyway.
The change is easy enough to make though, and can be done in script entirely.

It's not a very good way to deliver content for an MMO, though, and I'd suggest exploring other options.

Yes, Torque can stream files down to the client. Try it with the existing demo.It's not a very good way to deliver content for an MMO, though, and I'd suggest exploring other options.

If it is possible, I bet it would cause a ton of lag (and take a long time) each time the user had to download the models, textures, maps, scripts etc.
