I am currently using a prepaid since I'm abroad, so I can't port forward unfortunately. I installed Goldberg emulator and used hamachi, the lag was really bad but not unbearable and overall I enjoyed the game. Also I'm not on windows, so I'll just have to wait until the overlay thingy gets ported to linux.
Still that would be incredibly low for today's standards where images can weigh multiple megabytes compressed. I think 5-12 megabytes per image would be a reasonable limit.
Oh thats cool. Does that mean my friends whom I want to play with need to install this too even if they own the game?
Edit: Ok I got it working, that was surprisingly easy, no hassle, just drag and drop. Looks like we both have to be on the same network (makes sense due to the nature of the emulator). I wonder how much delay a VPN like Hamachi would add, since I already have terrible ping from living in the countryside.
Not sure what you mean by Goldberg, but building the game from the source on github results in a build with steam networking, which means connecting to servers just gives an error "steam authentication failed"
+1 to all, especially number 3
