nope let's that a example that we have
models/indexh/lua
models/indexh/wa2

in the downloads_simple.ini

and wa2 can be downloaded nornally..

looks like the files cannot be lua or something...
change them to lucy and everything goes smoothly

If you want a non buggy / working downloader use:
https://github.com/JakubKosmaty/Simple-Downloader
To use just add all files to one .txt file. If you need it to download other files like .ani or .wav just edit and add it to the code "the .sp". (Very easy)

And to precache particles/aura use:

Just add to the server.

Does this still work for Left4Dead2? I cannot get it to download my vpk or bz2 file.

I think I configured this correctly, but I am seeing some errors when connecting to server. I keep seeing and hearing people talk about fast download (fastdl), but I have never seen a good explanation for how to set that up or what to do with it. It's interesting because only 2 of the files were downloaded out of the 4:

Any ideas if how I can get test.vmt and test.vtf to also download? Also, could someone give me a good explanation of fastdl and how to go about setting that up?

Just answered my own question about verifying if files actually got downloaded. Detailed here: https://github.com/JakubKosmaty/Simp...oader/issues/1

I also decided to use simple downloader linked above which was way easier since you don't have to recompile anything. You just edit the Master_Downloader.txt file and reload the plugin.

Now to figure out if dathost.net (server provider) offers a fastdl option.

I believe that since 2017 there is no stopping to do this.

HI ! its about my L4D2 server's problem
I tried to start a " customer map " instead of official map
my purpose is to allowing players to download the customer map via my google drive
( just click join and wait , it will download & install the customer map by auto via the game inside and doesnt need to download the map manual from the map webside instead inside of the game ).
and I just extract the " xxxx.vpk " map file by vpk.exe , and upload it on my google drive and set the folder to public and I put the link into the sourcemod.cfg with the command : sv_downloadurl (I also put my google drive l4d2 cutomer map link here) & sv_allowdownload 1
and I already set up the downloads_simple.ini file .

I just installed the plugins with this guide down below:

but it still not working ! players just cant join my server straight but showed up the message that to makes them download the map by the link as the picture

[NOTORIOUS7302]

Does this support recursive downloading?
