EDU connection mean you live in a collage dorm that has broadband much greater then the average cable company.[/quote]

Is that the place where you learn to read??..lol

Prophecy: #players x 9000(max_rate) = your upload speed/8
Thats the formula to figure how many players your connection can handle. Upload speed can be measured here: http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/fut.html . Then you either use the default MaxRate in your cfg (9000) or tweak it to accomodate more players (and a less quality game of coourse).

Example: upload speed = 384k divide by 8= 48k.
Now 48k= #players x MaxRate (9000 is default, anything < about 7000 can be choppy, although can still be played).
6 players x 8000 MaxRate = 48k
8 players x 6000 MaxRate = 48k ,,etc, etc.
