Howdy all,
I'm currently taking part in a beta test for a game, this game patches on port 80 and seems to artificially cap at 0.66 MB/s (or there abouts) Ive been looking into if this is an issue on my end opening and closing ports on my router with no success but i also found that when i try to browse image gallery's while patching i have extreme difficulty loading single images, the images are typically about 120KB but take 5+ seconds to load. so i'm curious is there some sort of cap occurring on port 80? i shouldn't have hit my limit yet i was 46/60 GB this morning and the throttle on my patch speed seems to have occurred in all previous phases too.
what Ive found with the patch client so far is:
Remote port is static at port 80, local port is dynamic between 58000 - 62000 from what Ive observed
no matter what i change i still get a flat rate..

Port 80 is http.
If we restricted port 80 I'm pretty certain there would be many many complaints about it!

Hang on, 0.66MB/s is ~ 5.2Mbps which isn't that far from your linespeed. What are you expecting?
