Server will not download files

[Razor5189]

I have recently downloaded this to install the server and after i went into cmd and updated to the latest version i then type in "hldsupdatetool -command upate -game garrysmod -dir c:\srcds" (srcds was my folder)

All that happens is it says:
"Checking bootstrapper version"
"Updating installation"
"No installation record found at c:\srcds" yes im sure i entered directory right

more than 10 HOURS LATER

nothing has downloaded and i don't know what to do
what can i do to fix this and run a server? (my firewall is turned off as is all of my other protection on my computer there should be nothing holding it back, i have tried re-installing it and nothing helped)

This is wrong but i think you just typed it here wrong it should be hldsupdatetool -command update -game garrysmod -dir c:\srcds

Also are you sure there is a Dir C:\srcds if not make a new dir called srcds.

Mostly after No installation record found at c:\srcds


Reinstall hldsupdatetool.

I have done everything you have said before and there is no way i have miss spelt the command as many times i have tried. there must be something else wrong

This may seem very stupid but i was using a backslash rather than a forward slash when typing the directory. I feel so stupid haha. Even so it still has not fixed the problem

You don't see also any firewall problems? Something is blocking it. Also if there is that No installation record found at C:\srcds wait about 5 mins normaly it should be there then.
You are admin of your pc also? ( Stupid question )
If you are using Windows firewall just turn it of for a sec let it download all the files maybe that works

I have turned off the firewall (even made an exception for main exe while firewall is off) I am admin on my PC and i have waited hours for 1 file to download and still nothing.

Use another computer to download the files and then copy them to your server?

nope it doesn't work. its using the exact same connection (connected through a D-Ling DSL-502T modem) at this point there's nothing that should be stopping it from downloading but there's no way of fixing it (all though the closest country i selected was Australia but i live in New Zealand)
