Hello, I made four Team Fortress 2 Servers.
2 of the servers have custom Sound, Materials and Model Files. It seems everytime i log onto them, they download the files again.
I just didn't have any idea and couldn't find any solution anywhere on the internet so now i post here and hope to get a response.

Sorry for my bad english, I'm Danish

It seems like or they really are? When you go into the client folders are the dates/times just as if you just came out of the server?

If the same files appear to download every time you join, then the files aren't actually downloading. The server is trying to download them to you, but aren't there, and are skipped. The process repeats every time you join.

Is it possible to stop these file downloads?

EDIT: And yes it is the same files that appear to download every time

You cannot stop the downloads because they downloads are never actually happening. Your server is telling the client "hey, this server needs you to have this file, you can download it from [INSERT URL HERE]" and then when the client tries to download the file... the server gives back a 404. The file that you are trying to download cannot be downloaded, because it doesn't actually exist on the server.

The solution is to actually put the file to be downloaded in a place where it can be downloaded.

I think that was fixed with the SteamPipe update, but I can't say that for sure.
