How to increase map download size?

[jigglywiggly]

Hey I'm running a server how can I increase the download limit for maps? I want to upload maps that are like 15 MB
Also how can I increase the max upload? I am on lan with the server and it's downloading slow, like 100 Kb/s. When it's on a 1 Gb/s lan.
Also one last note is it possible to redirect to a http server?

Yes, sv_download.
That's how you make downloads faster, forward it to a http server

Wait so to redirect it to a http server, I would do... sv_download http://something.com\file.bsp right?

[realchamp]

No, it has to be: sv_download http://something.com\file.bsp.bz2

.bz2, is the compressed format

Use a script to compress it.

sv_download "http:\\mywebsite.com\game"
Then put the maps in game\maps\

Well I was just curious on how to do so, first I need a free a little speedy webspace. Does anybody have some suggestions? I don't think I can use filefornt or something, I saw this tutorial but I am a bit confused http://forums.srcds.com/viewtopic/5240

Actually I think, I soft of get it but I need a web space. Anyone have some good suggestions?

Ok I got me a web host, so in my server.cfg it looks like this
sv_download http://www.drivehq.com/file/df.aspx/sesIDumml40bdjb4bd2e0x3h031fl/shareID4776007/fileID234774513/RP_HomeTown2000.bsp.bz2
This goes in the server.cfg correct?

Then inside my server's maps folder has RP_HomeTown2000.bsp

Or does is it supposed to look like this?
sv_downloadurl http://www.drivehq.com/file/df.aspx/publish/jigglywiggly/obsidian
Inside that obsidian folder it goes to maps > then the file
(Obsidian=game)

You can't use a free host. Not enough bandwidth. There are some free/cheap sv_download sites out there though.

Well the one I was using just now, was pretty fast when I downloaded from it. Except I noticed that after 20 minutes your file goes away : / Any free sv_download sites in mind? The file is only 10 megabytes compressed and the same people usually play in my server. Problem is uploading at 220 KB/s from my server will make everyone else lag.

Before I accept any offers, I have my own ftp server. so ftp://myipadress has an anonymous account that logs in automatically.
So at the end of my server.cfg I wrote
sv_downloadurl http://ftp.24.4.etc.etc
inside there is a folder called maps and then the file itself
I don't think it was working, does it only work with a http one? If so that sucks, because I already have port 80 mapped.
Or as an alternate I could use http://24.4.etc.etc:8080 would that work? I can give up port 8080.

are you running both the web & game server from your home?

[jigglywiggly]

You bet.
The reason I wanted to do the website thing mainly is because of the .bz2 compression. The map without is 35 megs. With it, it's 11 megabytes.

[dualcore1289]

well running both from your home will cause the game server to lag.

Yeah I know, but it's better than nothing. Also I just realized I have comcast internet, so that also means I can probably use the ftp they offer.
