Why do you have such long path names for your files, with a URL type name? That is completely unnecessary.

I chosen this way due it avoids pure Client / Server issues with same File names and file sizes or hashes being different from OTHER servers and keeps my servers files away from there's
-> Also made it easy for them to find my server files for Sounds they can use for Windows Sounds / SMS / Ringtones - I get asked a lot (Most of the time it never occurs to them that they have the files already and norm get a happy face when I tell them they already have the file so saving them from finding/downloading it a 2nd time) Just tell them the path
tf/sounds/www.mydomain.co.uk and there happy to browse though
I made it Easy for players to remove my ALL server files with a simple delete of 1 folder
www.mydoamin.co.uk rather than looking throw 1 folder with 500+ sound files with no clue what servers they all came from (it works 2 ways Keep all my servers file but delete the 500+ you don't know where they came form)
It keeps my CLEAN Sound files away form Infected Sounds
I notice a few servers are sending out Infected Scripted MP3s and my AV picked up on them when I went though the sounds folder but had no clue what servers are sending them out (BAD SERVER ADMINS or BAD SOUNDS PACK)
At lest with my server Clean Sound files I'm more than happy to Advertise the website the server belongs to using a folder with all the sounds for my server / and avoids my server triggering some same name file under the sounds path that was infected and sent by another previous server the player connected to
its also another way of advertising the website
No Performance side effects from long paths Game or Server or Web-server
Apart form being long long path names for typing into a cfg for each file is not a problem (Knowing PHP or Dos/smd commands or using Macros copy & Paste you can get them to wire them self's CFG)

BUT Remember
I'm having 2 Issue its not the path due
I tried both Short Paths
tf/Sound/TheVoice
and long Paths:
tf/Sound/www.mydomain.co.uk/TheVoice
Makes no diffrence Even Tried Drffrent File Formats WAV/MP3
I get the same problem puzzle
If set
"File"
"File2"
"Count" "2"
- > Only the "file" Will download and plays without crashing it ignores "file#"
If set
"File1"
"File2"
"Count" "2"
The files All Download BUT the Moment there triggered to play is a Crash Its like it cant randomise the list
If it was the long path then it should of crashed the server under the "file" setup but it isn't its playing it fine
