Hia guys, whenever I use Shareaza or any other P2P and download something with it and then go on CSS it always makes my ping like 700.
Can I do soemthing to at least maintain under 170ms ping?

**Urza** · 03-04-2007, 02:02 AM

You can cap the transfer speed.

**Moose** · 03-04-2007, 02:04 AM

What do you mean?

**Urza** · 03-04-2007, 02:06 AM

Limit how much data your P2P client sends at once.

**Moose** · 03-04-2007, 02:10 AM

ah ok, thanks.

Some routers have something built in called QoS or Quality of Service. It will let you give priority to some applications automatically.
D links range of gaming routers do this and they definately do work, although they are a bit expensive. If you get a router that can use DD WRT firmware then you can set it up easily too.

I'd rather not buy any equipment, thanks though.

Yeah, I wouldn't either, but its something to consider when making another purchase. Just limiting the speed will be fine, but remember to unchange it when you are idling.

i once had a ping of 3000 on halo custom edition

Hmm, I was thinking of buying a Router anyway so maybe when I get the money I will invest in one, thanks POD.

@nick101: WTF?

**Deturbanator** · 03-04-2007, 11:30 AM

i was aked this before and couldnt really answer, what exactly is ping? is it the amt of usage on a server?

**Siouxsie** · 03-04-2007, 11:32 AM

Ping. It's how long in MS it takes for data to get from the client to the server and back to the client. I think.

**Deturbanator** · 03-04-2007, 12:05 PM

so the lower the ping you have the faster your data is being transfered?

**Siouxsie** · 03-04-2007, 12:07 PM

Absolutely. Ping of 0 would mean you were the server. Ping gets higher the further you are away from the server, too.

**Deturbanator** · 03-04-2007, 01:42 PM

thank you mucho!

**Siouxsie** · 03-04-2007, 01:46 PM

It's my pleasure, darling.
