Hello,

It's been a couple of years since I ran my HL server which has mods. Anyway it's up and running, but when you connect it use to download the wav files very quickly, but now they download very slowly.

I seem to remember it becoming quick if they downloads were done via http instead, but can't remember how I did this, any ideas?

HL server is 82.11.196.221

Thanks

It's called HTTP fast download by setting the sv_downloadurl cvar.

Installing a web server locally and opening TCP/80.

Files are on the server and I can get to them over the internet and clients connect but it won't download them, I see no valve_downloads folder being created locally on my client, any ideas?

It needs to be a public web site that doesn't use any encryption. The Half-Life 1 engine is nearly 20 years old so don't expect modern interfaces to be supported. Also, if any cloud solution did work, you'd have to consider the Terms of Service because most free things do not allow for this type of hosting.

Also, FYI the username and password in the URL no longer works.
