Can't change the rate cvar

[tgp1994]

Hi there everyone. I'm trying to set the rate cvar above 10000 so my clients can download maps faster, but no matter what I try, I cannot change its value. I've tried it in the console, and I've tried it as a start up option. (+rate 20000), and it still remains at 10000.

If anyone can tell me what's going on, that would be very helpful.

If you want to force the rates of your clients you need a different cvars:

sv_maxrate 100000
sv_minrate 10000
sv_minupdaterate 45
sv_maxupdaterate 100
sv_mincmdrate 45
sv_maxcmdrate 100
sv_client_min_interp_ratio 0
sv_client_max_interp_ratio 2

and you also need to put those in your server.cfg

So the rate cvar is actually based off of those? And if I use an sv_downloadurl, none of those cvars will control how fast they can download files?

sv_downloadurl has nothing to do with rates as far as I know

If you do not set the downloadurl the clients will download directly from the server. The maximum speed is the rate cvar whoch you can force.
