[CS:S] Fast download server doesn't work

[rozenman]

Hey,
I have a CS:S home server. I did a fast download server using Dropbox, but it doesn't work. I did exactly what I had to according to many guides on the web (including ones from this forum).
In my public folder in Dropbox I created a folder called "cstrike" and uploaded my .bz2 map file to a "maps" folder over there (I did try the regular .bsp file also - that doesn't work either).

in my server.cfg I have this:

Quote:sv_allowupload 1
sv_allowdownload 1
net_maxfilesize 100
sv_downloadurl “http://dl.dropbox.com/u/87420477/cstrike/”

This is my real Dropbox, so you can see it is working. This is the map I was testing:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/87420477/cstrike/maps/surf_greatriver2_1_nsk.bsp.bz2
As you can see, you can download the file and everything works great.

The problem is - people that log into my server don't download the map from Dropbox... they are downloading the full-sized map from my computer (the gameserver using srcds). I tried disabling sv_allowupload and sv_allowdownload, but if I do so - you just get the message you are missing the map file (not downloading at all...). I also tried using another downloading server instead of Dropbox (a free FTP webserver), but still - no success
I don't know if it helps - but I've just installed my server, adding only metamod and mani-admin-plugin.

I don't know what I am doing wrong...
Thanks in advance!

hey, as I wrote in the message above - I did upload the files to a "maps" folder. You can also see that the map example file I have given is in the right folder in Dropbox :/

Hey! It still didn't work... so I thought trying some script using ES...
This script is supposed to help u use multi fast download servers... but I just use it with one... and it WORKS!
I changed nothing except letting the script change the downloadurl, and it works!
