Once in the game, if you're constantly doing things, opening your inventory, training, walking around, killing stuff, you're constantly sending and recieving packets. However, if you're AFK; as you said you were; all you're doing is sending what we call "Keep-Alive" packets. This is a very small packet that you send to do exactly what it says, keeps your connection active to the server. In that case, the only packets you really have coming in are related to your keep-alive, chat message, other players movements (within your visible range), so on so forth.

Your bandwidth is clamped somewhere, whether it be on your local network, or in your internet pipeline, it's clamped.

Look into getting a better connection... Sorry I cannot help more.

It might even come down to your ISP having some bandwidth problems... That's doubtful though.

Wikipedia wrote:In computer networking literature, digital bandwidth often refers to data rate measured in bit/s, for example channel capacity (digital bandwidth capacity) or throughput (digital bandwidth consumption). The reason for this usage is that the channel capacity in bit/s is proportional to the analogue bandwidth in hertz according to Hartley's law.
