Why is my transfer rate so slow?

Hi well every time my computer is downloading a map in game it only downloads at like 1kb/s why is this?

Welcome to the forums,
The in game downloader is very very slow. I believe Tequila has implemented HTTP download for the beta, but if you are connecting to a 1.0 version server then it will be very very slow.

Your best bet is to find the map online, download it, install it, and then join the server.

What server and what map are you trying to get?

Welcome too,

but Pardner don't say I implemented HTTP download for the beta !! This is really false. The beta really supports HTTP download but ioQuake3 engine developpers did that, ...
not me, I just managed to import the feature
;)

Then yes, if you want to have better downloading rate ingame, you should use SG 1.1b1 or later release and connect to a server which have setup HTTP download support like the ones I'm managing: "BR Only BETA 1.1b4" and "Public BETA 1.1b4"...

For your information; cURL downloads in ioQuake work with anonymous ftp aswell.
The inbuilt autodownload is limtited to ~2kbps due to its design.

you could try to set \rate higher .. e.g. 25000
