Sorry for the late reply...You should be able to upload download any file as long as its not protected. However, in order for the .vpk addon to take effect the client downloading it would still need to restart there game so, kinda defeats the purpose, maybe download the individual files within the .vpk however not sure if there protected files if they'd work outside of .vpk format, I don't think they will...

For me that's perfectly fine, as long as the client doesn't get stuck on then loading screen indefinitely and they actually receive the files. I'd like to try this with a vpk and see how it goes.

EDIT: Followed your guide and it works perfectly. Thanks man It doesn't seem to work with VPKs though. Individual files work fine though

I recall being able to use Dropbox as my download server, however they have since updated things so now the download link for files no longer contain the directories in the download link. How do you use Dropbox now?

i'm not sure i'll have to check it out, to be honest its been so long since i've done anything with this, i'm surprised it isn't fixed by vavle already or completely broken...
