Problem Downloading Resources


Recommended Posts

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

    • Hi, 老Seven, I'm going to step in and deny your application. I understand, that you probably consider that as a serious applicaiton, but for our team its seams, not anything else then troll application, without any seriosness. Please, take serious all notes that you got from previos admin application feedback from @ Anwar . And my additional notes. - Make your application clear next time, cause many answers are confusing, i cant really understand what you wanted to say with some of them. There is so much unrelated info in there. - This is small improvement but still you recieved 24 mutes since last application in 3 month, some of them are day, or even weeks... - When somebody apply for admin we expect, some responsible guy, that can handle sv, and not additional problem, that will cause more of them. Please dont apply in near future, until you will feel confident, that you have been improved! Enjoy the NiDE. Application Denied Regards, ZE LSA Team.  
    • -1 i've never seen you solo simpsons rtv stage on a serious note, i think it's way too early since you're too young. you clearly lack maturity and your application looks like a troll given the photo you've posted, also implying that you're going to do bad things as an admin isn't the best thing to say. this sentence alone proves that you cannot be trusted. i've heard you call players names for no reason many times or even interrupt leaders by talking nonsense and the worst part is you don't even realise it. also worth mentioning is the fact that a lot of players instantly self-mute you when you join the server because you're annoying. you already got muted 51 times this year which means you've been muted at least 2 times a week so far. control yourself when you hop on the server, get along with players and try again in about 6 months. another tip: you don't have to use your microphone every single time you join the server.
