Just find a free-host to do it or something..
Otherwise try something like www.no-ip.com -- just make sure your main dir cstrike is the thing, because i dont think it shows subdirectories.

ya thats the prob i've been running into. Either i can't find places i can create subdirectories and truely connect through ftp, or i don't get enough space, like i get 3- mb and thats like the size of very few maps if any. if i can't create sub directories then i can't create a maps folder into the cstrike directory, meaning i'm hopeless.....

Ok, first of all, if you are running a server from your own home and want people to use the fast download sv_downloadurl to download from your own home as well, isn't this kind of pointless? Your bandwidth is going to get eaten up and you will probably lag yourself to hell.

If you are renting a server and want to have people download off of you, you are still going to lag yourself to hell unless you have a switch or something like that to limit bandwidth.

In either case, if you have enough people on the server that will actually stay to download maps and such from you, why not just spend the couple of extra dollars a month and get some web storage to make the server worth it? If you want something worth while, you are going to have to pay for it.

But if peeps download off of the server anyways, won't that still steal bandwith and possibly lags peeps in server anyways? If i don't use steam and use sv_downloadurl localhost will that speed downloads up at all?

Well the regular "trickle" download wouldn't be eating as much bandwidth as it is much slower, which is the point of sv_downloadurl. If you run the server from home, AND want to use sv_downloadurl on your home computer as well you are going to lag the crap out of yourself if there are a lot of players.

wtf?
you tell me that you want to run a server from your localhost
but you only have acces to your own computer via ftp?

I don't get it I think :\

This whole topic SUCKS.

WHY would you sv_downloadurl from yourself? It's the exact same thing as normal downloads. Just set your sv_maxrate to higher.

Its not my home computer, lol, its a computer in the middle of Texas, srry if i didn't make that clear earlier

. I have a "test" computer which i use at home when our main server is down. Often i test plugins and junk on there to make sure they work and to see what they do. Anyways I tested sv_maxrate and it made no difference. With sv_maxrate 0 and sv_maxrate 99000 there was practically no difference, and at most there was a difference of 2-3 seconds.

sv_maxrate doesn't go higher than 20 kb/s.... 20000...
