in CrossFire Support
I download at about 700 kb/s maximum.

I download the crossfire patch at 10 - 50 kb/s.

100% of my network is in use while downloading the crossfire patch and I literally cant access any web pages.
Can someone help me do the math here? Does that mean Im downloading at 50 kb/s and uploading at 650 kb/s?

I love crossfire, but come on, I dont love the community THAT much.

    It almost definitely does not mean you are downloading at 50 and uploading at 650. Since lots of people are trying to patch it could be that a lot of acks are failing to reach the server. If that is the case, then you would have a low download rate and a high network usage.

    Maybe. When I close the launcher my network is back down to 0-1%. I guess its just another way for useless cashcow z8 to bank off other peoples bandwidth.

    I guess another way this could happen is if the downloader works torrent-style. Hmmm. Idk I suppose it is possible. If it is, then it isn't very efficient.

    Edit: I just checked Wireshark and it doesn't seem to indicate anything other than a lot of triple duplicate acks which will ofc significantly lower the window size. The windows resource monitor has about one tenth the sent of what I'm receiving. And only 3% network utilization. Maybe you are dropping a lot of packets within your own network? Are you on wireless?
