Small download speed

Hello. Please help me.
My download speed ingame is very small and it is usually about 10kb/s. It could be at least 23 times better. What should I do?

Rax94

I mean downloading maps etc. from servers of course. And I'm playing new version of Tremulous (GPP).

In the download prompt click "download from website" not "download from server"
Any maps not in the MG repo?  Email me or come to irc.freenode.net/#mg.

My words are mine and mine alone.  I can't speak for anyone else, and there is no one who can speak for me.  If I ever make a post that gives the opinions or positions of other users or groups, then they will be clearly labeled as such.
I'm disappointed that people's past actions have forced me to state what should be obvious.
I am not a dev.  Nothing I say counts for anything.

But will it download files ingame or minimize game and open the browser?

David

Ingame.

It's just a crappy set of options, what the options should say is "Download fast" and "Backup slow way if the server op fucked up and the fast way failed".

LOL at the post up top.

anyway:
1. are you sure you have all the .pk3 updates?

2. are you sure your computer is fast

3. consider upgrading your graphics card (not on laptops)

4. I hate laptops

5. desktops FTW!

You shouldn't have to do any of that stuff.  As long as you select "download from website" it will download a lot faster.

ah, if you aren't running the GPP, set sv_autodownload to 1.
