Updates and Bad Connections

[Captain_Dorja]

Is there a way to configure the launcher so that when there is an update it doesn't take 100% of the bandwidth available for my whole household? I live in a rural area where pretty poor DSL is the best thing there is, and when there is an update of any size, even just a few dozen megabytes, the launcher takes 100% of the bandwidth for the whole house, and if my father is working or something, he gets disconnected until I either pause the download, or until it finishes.

 

Can this be configured to not do this?

There's an option under the settings on the launcher to throttle it to a certain download speed.

oh nice. Damn I'm going to have to set that really slow. Like probably 50-100kb/sec

 

Thanks

I wish you can set the launcher to not utilize torrent download.

cool

now if some one can figure out why with a brand new gaming computer, new card, cable 30mbps download I always load in last like 3 minutes into the battle on a weeknight?

An SSD could help if you don't have one, and try defragging your HDD, apparently WG's trying to make the WoWS folder less... Messy, to improve loading times, so that'll be interesting.

I don't have any of those things, or an SSD and I load into battles usually with 30-40 seconds remaining on the count down. Don't know why it does that for some people and not others.
