People cant download maps from my server :|

Yeah could be.

bzip-ing the map on the redirect is highly recommended, because people will download the map faster and that would make the download time lesser.

I speak too about it.
Because at compression the map will decrease in sizes! In any case, it`s necessary to try to make bzip-ing

lool
bzip all things
e.g. models and so on

the dl will really go faster
if you have sounds like mp3, not need to bzip
mp3 is already compressed

i figured it out. It turns out that the fast url i was using didnt have the maps I use on it lol.
Thanx for all your help everyone .

I compress everything, even mp3's because it makes it easier to keep track of files with awstats, just view how much bandwidth the bz2 files used, and i noticed like a 70kbyte drop in the zombie_ambient.mp3 which isnt much, but better then + 70Kbytes

mp3 is not needet to compressed ...
it will takes no effect

mp3 is really good compressed

you have an mp3 file that have 1 MB,
and bzip it, it will also have 1 MB ^^

That's because the file is allready compressed.

Yes I understand its compress, mp3 is an audio compressing, I think everyone knows that. My last post was just sayings, I bz2 all files even like 1kbyte files because with awstats, i can keep track of bandwidth, so I just view the bz2 file and how much bandwidth it used. That is the main reason.

I understand compressing an mp3 doesnt compress it much, but it does compress it some, like very minimal, you can get it like 50Kbytes smaller on a 2meg file Its not worth it for the saved bandwidth, but for me to keep track it is. Thats all

[icebreaker]

What about mp4's ?

[icepick66]

lol im not so pety into every file, i just do the big boys, the maps, dont bother with the models and textures lol

[MoOnLiGht]

you compress an mp3 file, the decompress time will be longer than the download time from uncompressed mp3 ...

i think so
