Is this home hosted or provided by a game server provided? If it's home hosted, you need to either upgrade your internet connection for upload speed or just buy a new game server. If you rent your server, drop the company a line and tell them your complaint.

Alternately, you could look into (and by that I mean use the search function or google) sv_downloadurl.

Even if it is a home server you should look into using sv_downloadurl. If it is downloading directly from the server then, likely, your internet connection speed is not the limiting factor. I have my server hosted at home and I use a webserver hosted on the same machine for fast download and it works fine. If it's still slow at that point you would want to get webspace and use it OR upgrade your internet connection.

Bottom line: Use the sv_downloadurl even if you have to use a home hosted webserver. It won't be the fastest thing in the world but will be much better than getting files from the game server it self.

There shouldn't be a need to "buy a new game server".

It's not hard. There a simple cvar sv_downloadurl "http://mysite.com/cstrike/"

Then you go to your website and put all the stuff in the /public_html/cstrike/ (assuming were using cPanel's structure). Allow it to be indexed (default on by most hosts). Then your set.

I would pay for a host to make sure you get good quality downloads. Make sure they have like Internap or they download really well fast constantly, even at peak hours.

As far as I know, you don't need it indexed. You can still download from there, you just can't browse it which is good to keep traffic down.

I need some assistance with my Fast DL. I know how to set it up I mean I have

sv_allowupload 1
sv_allowdownload 1
sv_downloadurl "http://www.mysite.com/cstrike"

For some reason though it doesn't download any faster then before. I know I have good web space and a good host because I pay a good amount of it and they have never let me down before. If I have done something wrong please correct me.

you need to "mirror" your files.

and have the exact directory tree

like cstrike/sounds/test.wav in your server

and hosting would be public_html/cstrike/sound/test.wav
