**LAG EXPLANATION**
said in brief words, lag is the time the data takes to get to the other computer !
scientifically speaking, you gotta understand how internet works to understand what is LAG in himself !
you got two computers (host and join). the host sdend the data needed to the join one, but the internet isn't a straight line. its made like a spider web ! the data takes the fastest path, but since there are zillions of data going on, the fastest path isn't necessarely the straight line. and even sometimes the data will dissolves before reaching its target cause of traffic.
see, that is what lag is, since its not the program or the machine itself that produces it, there is nothing we can do to prevent it !
and basically, the more people plays and surf on the net at the same time, the more lag there will be cause there has more traffic !
take it like the highway, its fast yes, but place a hundred car on the same highway at the same place... boom a big mess, so you'll have to find another way, as simple as that !
