So my friend runs a small survival server off his own computer. Recently, I've been noticing huge lag on that server (like 5+ seconds between clicking on a chest and it opening). I checked my whatpulse and task manager and noticed that Java SE Binary was downloading files at 2mb/s to my computer, only when I'm connected to his server. My friend says that he's lagging on the server as well, as well as multiple other people
How fast is your internet? How fast is host's internet? Do you do a lot of intense things on the server? Server host should connect to his own server with "localhost". Using the external IP lags a lot, not sure if it lags other players tho.
I assume you mean slots. 20 (although it only gets like 7 players max)
Both of our internet speeds are fine. He gets 60down/15up and i get 10down/2up.
It's just a vanilla survival server, so it's not very intense.
He's gonna connect w/localhost
No lag with localhost, but my connection to his server is still using up a ton of bandwidth and other servers work fine.
I don't even know what files it would be downloading.
Well, despite the bandwidth, the quality is very high (pings are usually very low) and people with much better raw bandwidth are reporting problems connecting to the server.
When I join a server with a several times larger map with more entities my resource monitor shows very little activity (100kb/s max) compared to his server (2.1mb/s).

He says that nothing shows up in the log.
Thanks in advance.
