7zip is a bit quicker, is multithreaded and supports long file names. In my tests the bz2 created by 7-zip weren't as compressed as bzip2, but it was a trivial amount. It doesn't really matter though.

Just wanted to help people out who have problems with their redirect, because i finally solved it after 2 hours of testing...
my problem: every custommap returned a "map ... not found. disconnecting" error. my config: sv_download 1 sv_upload 1 sv_downloadurl "http://someurl/tf2" running on a linux debian server btw what i did wrong and how to solve it: - i used the tar command (tar cfvj ...) to create .tar.bz2 files. i didn't see that the files had to be "file.bsp.bz2" at first. Renaming doesn't help out, the tar command and the bzip2 have different compressions! -> if you haven't installed, install with "apt-get install bzip2" or similar commands. usage: "bzip2 filename.bsp" creates: filename.bsp.bz2 <-- this is the correct redirect file! - i uploaded all the maps into the "http://someurl/tf2" directory. -> in the serverlogs i discovered, that the game was looking in the maps/ subdirectory which didn't exist. So if your DL url looks like this: "http://someurl/tf2" create a folder and store your maps here: "http://someurl/tf2/maps" Also, as mentioned in the thread somewhere: - Check file permissions! if you create the bz2 files as root, your webuser probably can't read them. test it in your browser! - Check if the sv_maxfilesize is large enough. insert a value which represents the biggest file in your directory!

Hi, I've edited that particular part in the turorial.
Back when I wrte this, the server didn't download the bz2 from the webserver if you didn't have the bz2 on the gameserver. Maybe it changed?

CoveringFire is correct; the compressed .bz2 files need to only be on the web server.
