dualcore:
bandwidth * 128 / maxplayers = maxrate
in kbps
minrate: above 5000 no 56k, below 5000 allow 56k.
minupdaterate 20, since it works for everything
maxupdaterate 100, since it also works for everything

You'll get only 6 players out of a 380kbps upload connection, I can barely get 8 out of a 512kbps without loss of game quality. 10 is aimed too high.
and as you can all read I hope? read my post, I don't have to check your rates really, you can check them yourself with the info I provided.
