i got up to 46% percent then it stopped checking/installing base shared models

[Captain_Rock]

and why is it everytime i type cmd into console it brings up a new console.

and where it says First edit (or create) c:\srcds\cstrike\cfg\server.cfg like you want it to be. Now we are ready to run the srcds.
Click Start, Run, type in the box there:
c:\srcds\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike +map de_dust -maxplayers 16 -autoupdate
and press enter. I want to change the map to aim_texture_city
but i dont know where to add this.

i mean it said checking/installing base models after it it stopped at 46%
is this a fault or can I just carry on with settinbg it up ?

Keep running the update tool until it completes. I had to run it 5 or 6 times before it got everything.

Also, I don't know what guide you're using, but you really need to look at this one instead:
