Super slow downloads when joining a game

Hi everyone,

There are 4 people in my house who play and we are getting such slow download speeds of game files when trying to join a game that we just can't play at all.

We are all on ethernet, behind a pfSense router on a 50/20mbps link with a fixed WAN IP.

For example "Preparing Game: Downloading sounds.nmd" has been downloading for 20+mins and is at about 10%.

Any tips on troubleshooting this OR is there a way to manually download all of the maps and game files elsewhere and drop them in?

Thanks!

Same problem here
