Problem Downloading Resources

[Bomba_dll 0]

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.

Throw the entire PC away & buy a new one.

Only happens on Nide servers. I can connect the other ze servers just fine

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
