« on: December 09, 2013, 03:44:34 pm »If you are getting from 200kbps to 600kbps while downloading some random files then your slow connection speed to n-ice might be caused by beign passed through a server that got very slow speed. Changing your DNS might help. Try changing your DNS to google ones which are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. If this wont help then I'm afraid you are stuck with bad connection to the openttd servers (there is a chance that some other DNS services might give you better route to connect with n-ice but unfortunately you would have to find and test those yourself).
woahhh tq to you, i got better connection, sometime i can get 200 kBps when downloading map
The only thing that could help you server side is enable pause_on_join. But such setting will hardly be enable again, even if it isn't bugged as it used to be. Such setting is just plain annoying to the players already inside the server.
From your side upgrading either your hardware or your connection would help. Your hardware because once you get the map(even if very slowly) what matter the most is the hardware since it have to catch up the ticks it lost. Your connection because it reduces the map download time and therefore reduces the ticks to catch up. openttd-dev rellated post
