How to set minimum rate on a CS:S server

Type sv_minrate 20000 in the server console so no client uses a rate below 20000, which keeps movement smooth.

sv_minrate

Sets the lowest rate in bytes per second clients may use.

sv_minrate <bytes>

Examples

sv_minrate 20000

Force a reasonable minimum.

Arguments

bytesRequired
Minimum rate.

What it does

Raise it so players with very low rates do not see choppy movement.

The game's own description: Min bandwidth rate allowed on server, 0 == unlimited

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to cstrike/cfg/server.cfg. New to this? Start a CS:S server first.
