IPL Download Speeds

I've been using the IPL on my shard for a few months now and the majority of users are reporting slow download speeds(less than 1mb/s) while downloading/patching through the IPL. I have rar packages of my files on the same web server that they can download at over 50mb/s.

Is the IPL throttling network speeds somehow or is there a coded restriction? I haven't been able to find anything while digging through it.

Thanks
 
There are no restrictions, it uses standard http provided by .Net on both ends.

Try increasing the buffer size in Server.cfg to 32mb - players can increase their speeds in the IPL settings panel by changing the default number of file tasks and file chunk size.

Other things I have noted to cause slow downloads is due to anti-virus scanning everything the IPL downloads; players can add an exception to prevent this if they wish.
 
Thanks for the quick response, I'll give that a try and also pass on the info regarding anti-virus

Cheers!
