First off, I would like to thank you personally for making this plugin. It works like a charm and no hitches at all. Perfectly Made.

Secondly, If you are using a sv_downloadurl for your downloads, this plugin will auctually overwrite your download url and trickle download from your server. What I did to fix this problem (after 4 hours of tinkering) is the following (in Downloads.ini)

//Model Files (Download and Precache)
http://www.myserver.com/downloads/cs...player/natalya
http://www.myserver.com/downloads/cs...player/natalya
http://www.myserver.com/downloads/cs...layer/techknow
http://www.myserver.com/downloads/cs...layer/techknow
www.myserver.com/downloads/cstrike/maps

By redirecting the plugin to go to a website it downloaded it directly from my http://myserver.com/downloads/... files like a charm - thought I'd put that out there for those of you having troubles with it

I don't have that issue and I use a fast download server. The only files a new player downloads when joining are default bz2 files. I tested it again today after adding some new stuff. sm_downloader doesn't revert back to downloading game server files from the game server for me at all.

This is very strange.
Try a complete reinstall of sourcemod.

Our server ran this, worked like a charm untill a very odd bug came

Joining the server will force us to download the skins we have added, works like a charm like others say, sounds materials models and so on, it getting downloaded. So good so far.

Some of our clients then joins some other server with other skins and stuff on them. When coming back to us 20% of them have to redownloaded the whole thing, and then skins are error signs and sounds not playing. Relog steam and everything works again..

What is happening here? do tell

You can search plugins here.

You can use:
Model Menu or
Sm_Skinchooser.

It's a problem with the game engine. Unfortunately the only way to fix this is to have the client restart their game and join directly to your server. Maybe I should write to Valve about this eh I'll give it a shot.

i have downloaded and installed this correctly, but my files will not download from the download.ini.

i have changed the cvar so it downloads from download.ini but when joining the server nothing downloads. the files are on my game server.

if i change the download path to simple_downloads.ini it downloads my files ... but i need them pre-cached... any ideas?

EDIT: I HAVE FIXED THIS!
It turns out you cannot add anymore // in the download config or models won't download, so instead of doing this:

//My Model
models/player/mymodel.mdl

Do this:
models/player/mymodel.mdl

Good Luck!

That's strange, as the code appears to be looking for // as the first characters on a line.
