All these rates calculators gives crappy values for modern internet connections. For example, sv_maxrate over 20000 is useless, because hlds limits it to 20000.

For first time, try these:
Quote:
sv_minrate 25000
sv_maxrate 20000
sv_minupdaterate 30
sv_maxupdaterate depends on kind of your server. 60 Should be enough for meatservers running Gungame or ZP mod. If you want to get better performance, set it to 101.

It was the first step.

The second step is to adjust rates to your server's bandwidth. You should play on server with active netgraph (net_graph 3) and monitor choke value - it should not get higher than 5-10. If you have a lot of choke, you should increase sv_minrate. Also, don't forget that you will get effect of server-side rates changing only after reconnect.
