Download speed issues

(tgs1) #1

Hiya,Since the patch I and many other people with servers that I know have been getting like a max of 12k on the download speeds .This all started the day we added the patch

Everyones cfg’s have the same default type of settings as follows

// DL, RATE

set sv_maxRate “13000”
set sv_dl_maxRate “420000”
set sv_allowDownload “1”
set sv_wwwDownload “”
set sv_wwwBaseURL “ftp://xxxx:xxx@222.222.222.222”
set sv_wwwDlDisconnected “0”
set sv_wwwFallbackURL “”

Also this setting set sv_wwwDownload “” when set to one displays the Ftp’s user and pass where as it used to not do that

Well any help at all will be appreciated
At 12k dl speeds there wont be any customs maps on our stuff lol
Thanks

The ingame download is always limited, sv_dl_maxrate doesn’t work as you would want. Redirects should be as fast as the server you are redirecting to is capable of, as the ET server has no control at all over that.

Have you verified that you are getting redirect downloads, rather than in game UDP downloads ? Make sure www downloads are enabled on both the client and server, and when you start downloading, check to see which method it is using.

set sv_wwwDownload “1”
set sv_wwwBaseURL “http://www.yoursite.com/files/etmain”

The displaying of the username and password for ftp connections is one of the new bugs in the 2.60 patch. It is listed in the bugs list here: http://splashdamage.com/index.php?name=pnPHPbb2&file=viewtopic&t=11521

Getting high download speeds is only possible with sv_wwwDownload set to 1 and a highspeed server.

In Nail’s sv_wwwBaseURL I think you need to remove the /etmain part.

BTW Nail. I love your signature picture. I would be a highway police officer if we had those kind of patrol cars. It would be easy to stop runaways with a heatseeking Hellfire missile :slight_smile:
