@gitpull but I use FreeDownloadManager and it opens parallel connections, yet its speed is also at best 200KB/s in that coffee shop
-
@Linux excuse my noob question, if I try downloading from ftp will that bypass the throttle?
-
@Linux I just checked, found on their forum from a user that it uses p2p network, so this could be the reason?
-
@Linux by IP as in, x ip can only send x speed back to me? but isn't by protocol or by domain a better solution?
-
@Linux my business is to remove the throttling thingy :3
Thanks man appreciate your help :D -

Check the router :) depending on what kind of software they use it should be pretty easy I think -
@Linux I'll try :3
But really, it ain't my business I'm a customer not an owner to mess things the way I want. -
Is the game really downloading at that speed? Could it be an extra zero at the interface?

@Nanos I'm the only one with a laptop there lol
@gabrielvisconti I checked both task manager and my login page for the network show that I downloaded 980MB in 30 minutes -

tl :dr Comments
It's most likely a peer to peer connection. Same technology used by torrenting as well as many other games including my favorite, Starcraft :D -
@uziiuzair and it turned out to be peer to peer found it on their forum.
However I need to read more about it, I liked the speed and curious about how it works.

I'm facing something really strange, in a coffee shop I go to usually, all downloads even if from terminal download speed is at best 200KB/s and at worst 50KB/s, but there is this game armored warfare, it reaches 2MB/s download speed on the same connection, while at home everything goes to max 200KB/s.
My question is, how do the devs at armored warfare do this? use max connection speed or are there any configs need to be changed so I can reach max speed in any downloading?
