Fastdownload is not working

fragnichtnach · **Author**

Some users are complaining that they aren't able to download the maps.

Code:

I've tested it by deleting my local map folder and it worked without problems. It might only effect users which have reinstalled everything.

Any idea how to fix this?

...could be it this problem, from client side .
cl_allowupload
cl_allowdownload
sv_allowupload
sv_allowdownload

Can't remember, how those suppose to be.

*edit
Before you change settings, check your values, in your own game.
Paste this in console
cl_allowupload;cl_allowdownload;sv_allowuploa d;sv_allowdownload

*edit
By the way, is your upload host in same place where you are gaming (LAN) or some where else location ?

Hi Barcadi,

thanks for your answer.

I think these values are required from the client side:

Code:

cl_downloadfilter "all"
cl_allowdownload 1

But it's still not working for some clients. Me myself and a lot of others aren't having any problems.

The fastdownload server is hosted on a apache2 webserver in another location.

:/

Code:

] cl_downloadfilter
"cl_downloadfilter" = "all"
archive
- Determines which files can be downloaded from the server (all, none, nosounds)

Or perhaps, they need use bigger "decompress" file size, 150mb is default.

Code:

-maxdownloadfilesizemb 150

Now I remember something.
Could it be better, if you not bzip2 files at all. Leave files as normal in download host.

*edit
Not sure, could some kind firewall or antivirus keep deleting those files while they download.
They need go visit in another servers as well to test.

Try Acces those files trought web directly http://yourhost/server/cstrike/maps/de_dust2.bsp

The .BZ2 files are automaticaly deleted by the Source Engine, once they are decompressed.
also you can leave default sv_allowdownload to 1 in server.cfg and see if the file is downloaded from server, or even if the clients get dropped from the server console.
