Attempt 5) It routed me to url which is facing downtime, then automatically it started downloading from HLDS server itself & consumed local bandwidth. Is it possible to make, if one url un-available then it should route to another working url? Else can you add another module which checks the working condition of all urls & then fetch that url to clinet?

I have same bug as Nashot said with plugin sv multidownload v1.1
How about with plugin? Anyone checked it? I can test later if I have more hosting!

There's no way to know if the client can't download any file (for lack of bw or whatever).
It's how HL works.
It only takes sv_downloadurl, try to download files and if some fails then it will be tried using game protocol as fallback.

Have you tested it?

I have the feeling this isn't actually using the cvar you set but the last one.

By the way, you should try if the download works, if not, setting to another server.

This plugin is not intended to manage failover servers for fast download. It's only to manage load balance.

If some server fails, it's up to the admin to remove from servers list.

Its Better to LOAD BALANCE or Fail-over Management through DNS only.

use Free DNS Services like ZONEEDIT & you can do the same more efficiently. Even Fail-over management.
If one server goes down, automatically alternate working server(url) fetches to the client.

1) Round Robin Load Balancing: http://www.zoneedit.com/doc/faq.html#faq40
2) Fail-over Management: http://www.zoneedit.com/doc/faq.html#faq48

Off-course, Its all FREE of cost.

But all these methods uses same "Directory(Folder) structure" has to be maintained on all servers manually. Means if you want to add a new MAP, then you have to upload MAP Files to all servers manually.

The BEST n PROVEN method is, Go for a GOOD & RELIABLE hoster & use single URL as a SV_DOWNLOADURL.
