Slow map download abuse

Postby bansheex » Tue Jun 13, 2017 2:20 pm

So I'm in a dota apem room right now, and some guy named "Chingwa" is downloading the map at 1% every 8 seconds. Do the math. Why is the server even allowing a download that slow? Shouldn't take 10 minutes for a game full of people to start.

@bansheex
Unless he left and rejoined just to DL the map all over again and delaying the game it's not really any abuse.

And there has never been a bottom limit on how slow you can DL maps on wc3. some bots have a cap on 100Kb/sec tho or alike but part from that there aint really a limit you gota be over to be allowed to DL a map :P

@bansheex As long as there's no pattern of join/leaving in order to stall the game start, there's nothing wrong. Otherwise, report it (for publicly hosted games).
