FastDL not downloading some files properly

[Highdef]

Hi, I was wondering if you guys could help me out. Basically I have a GMod game server. I'm using hostgator's webserver as the FastDL but only recently I discovered that when me or any other clients connect, there are some files that are not downloaded. For example, if I have a certain model composed of 7 model files, only 5 of them are downloaded. And this happens to a few models.

But then I tried using my own dropbox as a webserver instead, and voila, it all downloaded perfectly. But I still want to actually host my sv_downloadurl on my website. I've tried changing sv_allowdownload between 0 and 1, but it makes no difference.

Could it have something to do with file permissions or what? Thanks for reading.

Basically I think that there is a bug in your website that prevents some files from being downloaded. But I have really no idea...

What if you try and download them via your browser?

It works perfectly fine when I try to download them from my browser, just not from the game server.

Could you please paste the contents of your server.cfg and link us to your fast download. If you have a problem posting it publicly then you can PM it to me and I'll look into the issue. I've had similar problems and I might be able to help you with a fix.

Backup your old server.cfg and replace everything with the following;

Code:

hostname "shi"
rcon_password "******"
//sv_password "no"

// Fast Download
sv_downloadurl "http://walknotrun.com/garrysmod/"
sv_allowupload 1
sv_allowdownload 1
net_maxfilesize "128"

// Server Settings
sbox_noclip "0"
sbox_godmode "0"
sbox_plpldamage "0"
sv_voiceenable 0"
lua_log_sv "0"

// Lan Settings
sv_lan 0
sv_region 3

I've used hostgator as a fast download in the past with no problems. Though I didn't use bz2. I just put the files in there and they automatically downloaded. I only use bzip2 when I do CSS or TF2 servers.

I have tried putting original and compressed files, and both versions give me the same results. I really have no idea why some model files refuse to download for clients. Like for an individual model, 5/7 or 4/6 files will download, but the rest just don't.

By the way, when I say model files, I mean like the .phy, .mdl, etc. What I've noticed though is usually the .phy don't download for some models.

A friend of mine recently had a problem with this. Since Linux doesn't like capitals you should try making all the files have lowercase names. You want to do this for server side and fast download.

Not hosting it on linux, but from what you posted, the files that don't download have capitals in them. I think your suggestion makes sense, so I'll give it a try next time. Thanks.
