    Unity post HTTP method of a 788KB string is causing a server timeout disconnect in Photon, causing all the players to disconnect, how can this be avoided? thanks.

    Make sure it doesn't block the main thread and it should work.
    Are you using PUN or something else?
    There are cases where tcp/http traffic on a router may affect udp but this doesn't sound like it should do that.

    I solved that by changing the Photon protocol to Tcp, my theory is that the http was taking most of the upload speed making Photon disconnect, Tcp seems to have handle less wifi speed.

    This is odd, really. I don't think that a relatively small download should affect the connection this badly.
    How long does the download take? Can you send a pepro project, which is easy to test? I'd look into it.
    Mail (a download link) to: developer@photonengine.com, if you can spare the time.

    Either way: Great you found a workaround to unblock you.
