Upload/Download and Ping Speeds from Hell

[el Chi]

Could anyone tell me what the upload/download speeds or demands are like and how they affect the ping?
Cheers.

wat does that mean?? how much download/upload usage does HL2DM use??

I presume you are talking about hl2dm. I'm not sure exactly what the best settings are, but i have 512/128 and it runs perfectly (no lagging).

What internet connection do you have, what home network setup do you have, what are your computer specs, who's your isp, how long have you had the problem, is the problem constant or intermittent, have you got any firewalls running?

I believe the problem is the warezmonkey

I'm assuming HL automatically chooses the best setting, since I've never changed them and have good ping... safe assumption? :monkee:

It's a 1.5Mb connection, so it shouldn't be THAT bad. I looked at the net_graph 3 stats and my d/l speed rarely went above 10kbs, my u/l waasn't much over 5kbs, so I can't really be impacting THAT much, can I? I have a feeling our network is wired slightly oddly and that's where the problem might be. Not that I'd accuse him of giving himnself a bias or anything <Ahem>

Not that it matters - at the moment our connection's been shut down until my cheque clears

Just out of interest - what does this part of the net_graph 3 (console command) stats mean?
