We are going to add compression to our 128 bit SSL streams. This will improve connection speeds on the whole but unfortunately break previous client binaries. In short, members of our current default network before the next upcoming release will have to uninstall, re-download and install the next upcoming client release that supports the new compression feature in order to sign in to our platform. Automatic upgrade is not available for this new release.

Our testings have shown that we are able to improve connection speeds by an average of 5.4 seconds using a common 512KB down stream 256KB up stream broadband line. We are pretty excited about this new improvement and hope that this new and improved technology will help better improve your experience on Hiitch. Therefore as an advance warning, you might want to take this into consideration in regard to your private network implementations of the Hiitch platform.

Do feel free to contact us if you have any questions, collaboration proposals or need better support from us with regard to your own network implementations using our platform.
