They were the first ones to rename SourceTV in places. I wouldn't put it past them.

Yes, as far as my logs are displaying, that is the case. Example access.log:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [19/May/2016:XX:XX:XX -0700] "GET /dl/csgo/maps/somemap.bsp.bz2 HTTP/1.1" 301 549 "hl2://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:27015" "Half-Life 2"
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [19/May/2016:XX:XX:XX -0700] "GET /dl/csgo/maps/somemap.bsp.bz2 HTTP/1.1" 301 549 "-" "Half-Life 2"

I thought fastdl was clientsided, the server only defined where to download the files from..

[Neuro Toxin]

Looks like the client passes the refferer being the game server in the http request.

Im going to implement this as checking my http usage it jumped 1tb around 2 months ago.

I just implemented option one Zilor's post!

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^hl2://119\.252\.189\.226
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^hl2://119\.252\.189\.225
RewriteRule .* - [L,F]

It works perfectly!

I used to use this when I ran CS:GO and other Source engine games but it does have one minor drawback.

The game client for Linux (and possibly Mac but they had other FastDL issues) does not pass the "hl2://" prefix and Linux users were unable to access FastDL in-game, only externally by spoofing wget with a false referrer.

This was a year ago and may have been fixed but it's still worth mentioning.

This definitely got fixed in the TF2 branch. It wouldn't surprise me if it never did in CS:GO.

Like my example shows, it does both, passes it and doesn't pass it. So... a 50% chance.

Or rather, it always gives "Half-Life 2" but doesn't always refer "hl2://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:27015"

I should mention that a proxie/vpn/firewall might filter the referrer out. I suggest that you create an additional rule for clients with no referrer.
