Topic: extremely slow download times

Why is it that when you download custom maps directly from a server, it goes at the painfully slow rate of ~5KBps? It feels like the game is purposely putting a restriction on how fast you can download. I've never seen any other game have a rate this slow. I've downloaded much larger files in other games from servers all over the world at a faster rate than this. Map files around 100KB should literally take a couple seconds with a cable connection, no matter where the geographic location of the server is. Not 30 seconds! Is there any way to raise the maximum transfer rate?

Re: extremely slow download times

hmm i have the same problem then you.. (http://www.teeworlds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1291)
but.. i have 40kb/s max download speed .. over lan or over internet..

40 kb/s with a 1gb/s local connection .. really bad.. but 5 KBps .. are a bit too slow... i think a http/ftp download should be added .... lets see what is going on.. wink

Re: extremely slow download times

The download rate is based on your ping time to the server. The map download was kinda stressed in there just so it works. I will redo it so it goes faster in the future.
