What the fuck is that? Don't you mean 20000/25000?
yeah in 2003...I think CS 1.6 servers were locked at 25000 rate anyways, but still...rate is bytes/second transmission.
25000 bytes is .023 mb
No reason not to bump that way up considering most people can easily download over 1mb/s if the upload speed of the host you're connected to can handle it.
Also, CMP my game typically runs at 200-250 FPS on the NA1 battle server, but on strategus sieges it drops down to about 100 FPS and feels like I'm fighting in syrup, I know I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.
