I've been having trouble connecting to the server lately. Whenever I try to connect I get ridiculously slow download speeds. It would take 10+ minutes to download a small map. By the time I enter into a game, it's already rtv time.

Whenever I restart my router and get a new ip address, the download speed is great, and only takes a couple of minutes (if that) to connect to the server. However once I enter the server, subsequent connects slow to a crawl again.

 I turned to downloading maps through https://fastdl.nide.gg/css_ze/maps/ but the same issue happens. I can download all the maps (using a custom script that checks already installed maps against server list), and I can download decently fast. However once I connect to the server, it's as if my player name triggers a connection throttling on my current ip and fastdl throttles my connection. I don't know if this is what is happening, but it appears that this is the case.

The solution to my problem is not ideal. I basically restart my router, download the maps that I need, and make sure to set the multiplayer option 'only allow map files' in-game. If I check 'allow all custom files from server', I will be stuck downloading materials, particles, etc. at a slow speed (around 2-20 kbps). Particle effects are obviously essential, so this solution isn't a good one.

I also see this problem, so what's the actual solution? Only download resources outside of CS:S? Buy VIP? Keep changing IP address until you get all the files? 😂

It's easy to reproduce, IP address is clearly being throttled after connecting to the server...

  1. Go to https://fastdl.nide.gg/css_ze/maps/ in web browser and download any file. ✅ Result: works fine.
  2. Connect to server in CS:S. ❌  Result: starts downloading resources, and then gets stuck after a few seconds.
  3. Go again to https://fastdl.nide.gg/css_ze/maps/ in web browser.❌  Result: page doesn't even load anymore.
  4. Change IP address with VPN (or as the above poster was doing... by rebooting router).
  5. Go to https://fastdl.nide.gg/css_ze/maps/ ✅  Result: downloads work fine again until you connect to the server in CS:S

      Thank you for taking your time out of your day to read my application and replying to it. I understand your concerns as you don’t know me personally on a deeper level and I don’t blame you, you haven’t played with me that much. However, I believe that’s why there is a trial period before achieving admin and it’s there for me to my prove myself and show my character to the staff team but also for the community.

      While I agree with what Chris said, speaking from my experience on the admin team, here’s how I see it.   I’ve seen Lackin around, and it’s clear there’s genuine interest in supporting the server, particularly during those late EU hours when things tend to get more chaotic. That kind of awareness is important, and it’s good to see someone willing to step up where help is needed.   That said, being an admin is more than just being present. It’s about consistent activity, clear communication, and leading by example. Right now, there’s still room to grow in those areas. The recent activity is a good start, and I’d like to see that continue. Improving clarity, both in chat and on the forums, would also help build trust with both players and staff.   So for now, just like Chris, I’ll be staying neutral but I’m leaning toward a +1 if you can maintain your presence and address the points mentioned.   With that said, good luck with the rest of your application.
