:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.

as title suggested, when downloading files like scenario map, custom maps or AI files. every player can download at the same time and you do NOT have to wait for another player to finish download.

All with exception for restore/save game when a player crash. upon restoral, if someone is downloading the other players will not be able to get the files until that player download finishes. as to who download its random but this is extremely frustrating as the download speed is dial up speed, regardless of fibre 10gig internet bandwidth.

a 3-5MB save game file should only take less than 5 seconds at most, but it takes the game over 2 minutes to transfer at times, and other player MUST wait for the first downloader to finish, simply unacceptable experience.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

:point_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?

  1. everyone can download the save game file on restore lobbies regardless if another player is already downloading, not having to wait till them finish first.

  2. download speed is sped up, at least within 10 seconds as long as the receiving player internet bandwidth is enough.
