Dl's Killing My Server

[STD]

well, i currently have 3 models, the map, and the background sounds for clients to download, it takes approx 3 minutes to dl the map/models, then like 10 for the music....I've tried .bz2ing the models/music but when I connect, it flashes the filename, as if its not even downloading it...then when i get in game, the models aren't there, and the music isn't either. I know i'm doing something wrong....

I know i'm doing something wrong....

yea, probably right. where are you putting those bzipped files? it you just put them on your game server, then it won't work. you have to enable sv_downloadurl "www.xxxx" in your server config and have a host to host them. when new clients connect to our server, not only are they downloading all the zombiemod stuff...they are downloading about 8mb of custom skin and sound files...it all on average takes about 3-4mins max.

yeah, i tried from a server also....does it matter if only some of the files are bzipped? it probably shouldn't...just cause some files are too small to zip

and the same thing happens with ther remote server also

well, the sounds are dl'ing fine....but now the models aren't....I bz2'd every file and put them on a remote server. Well, you can see the files dl'ing....then when i go into the cstrike/models, there's nothing there :S

When i go in game, I see ERROR for the models...i've seen this before, but i've never known why

that means the files r on the list, but the users cannot find the files to download.

I have all the files there and everything....maybe its the host?

depends, its possible that your host does not allow users to download the files from so many different IPs
