Title: Server: map download speed
Post by: Joris on November 04, 2006, 09:39:34 am

Hi all,


I enojoy tremulous so much I chose to set up a server.
I uploaded some maps I encountered during my long nights of gaming, but the download speed is really slow: 3K/s
I've seen the same thing with other servers, and it's just annoying.

My server can handle quite a bit of data traffic, so I'm trying to increase the download speed.

Code: [Select]

et sv_minrate 50000
set sv_maxrate 25000000
set sv_dl_maxRate 25000000
(ok, I just added zeroes rather than picking a sane number)



However, this isn't working at all, download speed is still 3K/s
What other config directives can I try?



TIA, J

Good idea, altough I like it better when the server pushes out the maps :)

But...  :roll: it doesn't work

Code: [Select]

set sv_wwwDownload "1"
set sv_wwwBaseURL "http://trem.nuada.be/maps"
set sv_wwwCheckPath ""
set sv_wwwDLDisconnected "0"
set sv_wwwFallbackURL ""


I see no attempt to get the file in the webserver logs.

with that baseurl, you will need to put your maps in http://trem.nuada.be/maps/base/
also, you will need tjw's latest client for http downloads to work (and tjw's latest server, but i really hope you had that already)

Thanks, that made it work :) Full speed downloads for everyone ;)

not quite, there are people who haven't gotten tjw's client yet, and they will be stuck with the really crappy downloads, but they deserve it for not getting tjw's client.

I was referring to messing around in the terminal and stuff.

Which isn't a pain in the neck.

I can install TJW's client fine, but I get extremely low fps using it, especially at human base. 10fps and lower. :(

That's impossible, and this topic is pointless.

Actually, on my one computer I never got over 20fps with tjw's binary. I got svn revision 755, applied tjw's, compiled, and got 90fps. Go figure.

does tjw's patch anything to do with fps

I get the same FPS with TJW's binary.
I don't know the depth of his changes, but I assume he's not rewriting the Q3 engine...

I made tjw's binary available on http://t.v5.be for url shortness sake. I put it in the motd of the server, so it's their own fault if they don't have the client  8)

Most of the rendering changes are code search&replace or additional conditions (sdl_video? edianness? etc.). But I think all of those changes are in SVN, so it would be useful to know where the problem lies and if it's a real issue. (If someone else is having frame rate issues and wants to try my x86 Linux binary, tell me a good site I can upload random junk to.)

My problem with frame rate, while real, was not a "real issue" since it was "solved" without any programmatic work.

By the way,
