Ok...well I've come to the conclusion that the entries I have in my config files and such are all good. It is some sort of problem on the webserver side. I had a friend set up some webspace on his windows server for me, and it worked like a charm. Both of the other webspace servers I'm trying to use are Linux based. Does that make a difference as far as Srcds is concerned? I can't use my friend's webserver to host, he is on a residential connection as well, so I still need to find out what is preventing me from doing this on the linux based webservers I am using...Does this new information help at all? Any new ideas or anything?

The only real difference is that linux is case sensitive whereas win isn't.
If you request CS_SomeMap from the redirect, and there is only cs_somemap, it'll return a 404.

If it downloads it's downloading from the downloadurl.
Free webhosts normally LIMIT the transfer rates so it won't use much bandwidth at all, thats why it's free.

Read what I said lol.
Even if there is a fast free webhost, they might not even work. Also I wouldn't know about it cause I've been in the paid web hosting business for quite some time now (and learned that free is not that good at all)

You don't have to, but it's well worth the effort as the filesizes will be generally 50+% smaller allowing faster downloads, less bandwidth/load put on the server. Check my signature if you're looking for a tool to do it for you.

You ONLY have to put your CUSTOM stuff on the webserver, so don't upload your whole server directory lol
