UPDATE: Minsk Devs Respond to Server Lag

I just checked open connections and background transfers... is there any particular reason why wgc.exe would maintain about two bloody dozen open connections to suspicious IPs in Ukraine, Russia, etc. even when no update is downloading, WoT is running, and WGC is only sitting in the tray? 


Block Quote Hi players, we got your feedback and concerns about WGC traffic! We want to reassure you that WGC distribution algorithms are very similar to current launchers and should not affect your gameplay performance or traffic. We work closely with our dev teams to ensure its safe and has no impact. We are also constantly working on optimizing the technology to make your experience even smoother. As such, some improvements around the libtorrent functionality will be implemented in v17.3, coming soon. We also want to reiterate that WGC is designed to work cooperatively with all Wargaming products, and never interferes with your game ping or affects networking traffic while you play.
