Reply With Quote #1

I'm currently using and old linux HLDS in order to make an Earth's Special Forces 1.2.x server (version : 48/1.1.2.1/Stdio 4883 secure (70)

Everything is working properly, however. The server is refusing to use the FastDL server when everything is properly set up.

Quote:
sv_downloadurl "serverurlhere"
sv_allowdownload "1"
sv_allowupload "1"
Before you ask. I'm also using a FastDL server on my TF2 server which is working just fine. But using HLDS, it appears to have some issues.

I was wondering if anyone else is having issues with FastDL on HLDS. And if there's a way to force usage of FDL.

Regards,
Skyrider

Doing so makes it impossible to download custom files from the server. Thanks for the reply though .

If sv_allowdownload is 0, all clients will use FastDL if available and won't be able to download files from the server if they can't reach it.

So, "forcing" the FastDL usage.

So a bit weird that the FastDL isn't working then, while all the settings are correct.

The server can't force anyone to use fast download. The only thing that you can do on the server side is to disallow download from the server directly which has already been mentioned.

If the client is unable to use the provided fast download URL then it will attempt to download from the server if it has not been disabled.

So, really, the only thing that you can do is to ensure that your fast download is working and is reliable.

That is not necessary if you have a reliable host with the requisite capacity.

Using my very own VPS, and as I mentioned in my first post. The TF2 FastDL is working just fine without any problems. Thus far can't find any logs to why it's not using the fastdl url.
