Hi guys,

I am having an issue with this as well.
I set up a super simple HTTP server to serve my shared resources at http://5.51.142.224/

```
] rcon sv_downloadurl
"sv_downloadurl" is "http://5.51.142.224"
```

But I still can not get fast DL to work and load resources from game server instead.
Any of you guys have any clue on the reason why it can not work?

AFAIR you need a trailing / at the end of the url, like:
Code:
sv_downloadurl "http://5.51.142.224/"

Did not change anything unfortunately...

Create a directory named "cstrike" and upload the contents there. Try again.

The cstrike folder shouldn't be required. My server has a folder that does not match the name of the game and does not end with a "/".

Why do you think it's not working? Or maybe I should ask, how are you checking if it's working?

I wonder whether it is related to the fact that the shared resource folder is on the same host than the CS server, hence does not sees it with its public IP.
But I guess the behavior of
Code:
sv_downloadurl
is just to provide the client with the URL, not download it itself.

I am testing be deleting content of my
Code:
cstrike_downloads/maps
and loading a map on the server (in my case, de_mirage).

I doubt it has anything to do with them being on the same host as they use different protocols (fast download uses HTTP and the server does not) provided that your host is properly configured for both purposes and can handle the extra processor power required. It's not generally recommended to do this though.

In your console (of the client) turn on developer (developer 1) and then join the server. This should output more info to your console about connecting to the fast download server IIRC.

Code:
Couldn't find map maps/de_mirage.bsp, server will download the map
Spooling demo header.
Using http://5.51.142.224/cstrike/ as primary download location
Verifying and downloading resources...
Unfortunately, we do not see whether it finds the map there but according to path it's fetching and download location, it should be correct...

Note that these protocols are indeed configured correctly (both are working on local network and over the internet).

Wait, so you're testing this from behind the same router where the servers reside? I've seen issues trying to access the external IP from inside. Have someone from outside try it.
