FTP is a fundamental part of nearly all multiplayer games. It’s the speed at which you can transfer files from one server to another. If you want your game to run smoothly, it’s vital that you know how to increase FTP in multiplayer games.
Ways to Increase your FTP in Multiplayer Games
You can follow the following ways to increase your FTP for an optimum online gaming experience.
Multiply Your Nase FTP by .95
You’ll notice that the FTP speed that you measure is not just a number, it’s an acronym: File Transfer Protocol (FTP). FTP is used to transfer files from one computer to another—and since this happens over Internet connections, we can use their bandwidth as our measure of file transfer speed.
In other words, if you have 1 Mbps of bandwidth available on your connection and someone tries to download a 2GB file from a server located halfway around the world using only .1 Mbps of bandwidth (which is basically impossible), then their download will take much longer than yours because there aren’t enough packets being sent over each second for them get through faster than yours does.
Use a Wired Connection
If you have a wired connection, it’s faster than wireless connections and more reliable. It’s also more secure and less prone to interference from other devices.
Invest on Router
You want to invest in your router. Routers are important because they allow your game (like Burning Crusade) to work, and they can also improve the overall performance of your network. Wireless routers are better than wired ones because they don’t have cables running through them, which means that you’ll be able to move around more easily in-game and avoid being stuck behind one huge rock or another (which happened to me).
So how much should you spend? Well…it depends on what kind of hardware you want! If all that matters is getting a fast connection from one room to another without having long cables everywhere then there’s nothing wrong with a cheap wireless router ($100-$200). But if having an optimal experience throughout the house is important for gameplay then I’d recommend going upmarket; there’s no shame in spending $500+ on something like this.
Use VPN
A VPN is a virtual private network. It encrypts your internet connection, which helps you to stay anonymous and bypass censorship.
It’s also a good way to protect your privacy while gaming on public WiFi networks. We recommend using a high-quality VPN and it’s better to use ExpressVPN as it will not only protect your PC data from hackers but also give you access to inaccessible games from foreign countries.
Ensure the Port is Open
To ensure that your game is able to connect and download files from an FTP server, you need to make sure the port for the connection is open. Port forwarding is a process by which network packets are forwarded from one network interface (or device) to another network interface on your computer or other devices. It’s required for the connection of a client (the player who wants to play your game) with the server (the host machine).
Use More Ram
The most important component of your computer is RAM. It’s what allows you to run programs and store data, including the instructions that tell your processor how to run a game or program.
The more ram you have, the better performance you’ll get out of any software or device that uses it. This includes games and applications like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and even Windows itself!
Ram is cheap (usually around $30), easy to install into a computer if necessary—and it can be upgraded at any time without having to buy an entirely new machine!
Keep PC Clean
Keep your computer clean. This is one of the most important steps in increasing your FTP, and it’s also the simplest: just keep your PC running smoothly. If there are any problems, such as slowdowns or crashes, then you’re less likely to upload files quickly.
Use an antivirus program on your computer and keep up with updates as they become available. Antivirus programs will help protect against viruses, which can slow down a system as well as prevent malware from infecting it in the first place!
