rate
Maximum client bandwidth allocation in bytes per second for receiving server updates. Most players these days have great internet connections so leaving at default is recommended.
💡
Pro Tip
The max rate in Quake Live in 2026 is 25000, which is set by default. This is more than enough for any modern internet connection to receive all server updates without loss, so it’s best to just leave this at 25000.
