Fast download is PISSING ME OFF

I have followed the tutorials on it. Read the wiki. and googled for three days. I cannot get this to work. I have them hosted on a public dropbox. with garrysmod structure not bzipped and it still will not download any faster... I think I am doing something wrong. I put that code in the game.cfg and in server.cfg. Neither worked. Can someone tell me how to do this. and walk me through this?

Possibly the download speed of your public dropbox is as slow as your game servers...
Looking for a game server? Visit fullfrag.com and pick one up as low as $2.50 / mo!

do you have a root server? then simply host the files on a webserver running on that root. that is much faster then the normal download, there is no need for a physical separation from the game servers...

Dropbox runs around 500k + gmod runs at around 20k (03-31-2010, 05:13 PM)BehaartesEtwas Wrote: do you have a root server? then simply host the files on a webserver running on that root. that is much faster then the normal download, there is no need for a physical separation from the game servers... Do you mean host an apache server? and host them on the same box? I can do that. If thats what your talking about. But, I still do not know about how to make a recourse.addfile. or whatever it is. I need someone to walk me through it. I read something about adding specific folders? I would need to add models, sound, lua, and all those right? They are on the server, and the webserver. How would I do this?

Can you please provide internet-connection speed?  If its fast enough to handle it, i would definetly prefer that

Then i would suggest running an apache server, this will make big advantages, but i would prefer you to put a 2 Mbps cap on the apache server, so you dont risk that people are getting max lagged, because of a new client, taking all the bandwidth, downloading the files

I need to know how to set it up though. I have the apache server ready and all. the files are in it. I need to know how to set up server.cfg and other stuff. I think I recall reading that the files are not added automaticly. you must add each file on its own with resource.addfile. and I do not know how to do that.

I don't think dropbox offers open HTTP access. You need that for it to work.

add
sv_downloadurl "http://<yourip>/path/to/the/game/directory" to your server config. The path of your game directory is e.g. the cstrike directory for counter-strike servers.

What is your local download speed?

have a look at the apache access logs if the files are really downloaded from the web server...
