[mohaa] Observation of sv_maxrate

[Alexis Tremblay]

That's not what it seems, it's been asked a couple times in other forums 
heh.

What you see as the rate when you type status is what the client is set 
up for, not the actual rate the server allows to that client. In 
example, if you set an sv_maxRate 9000 and your client requests 99999, 
the server will give him 9000, not a bit more, confusing yes, but that's 
how it is.
