I have searched for a couple of days to try and find an answer to this problem. I still haven't found one, so I decided to post here.
I have TF2 server running on my server computer. The server itself works, but when I try and setup the fast download it gives me a missing map error.
I have a website where all the maps are uploaded in .bz2 format.
Here's part of my server.cfg:

net_maxfilesize 64
sv_allowdownload 1
sv_allowupload 1
sv_downloadurl "http://elec0.com/games/tf2"

And my tf2 directory--on the website--has these folders:

maps
materials
models
sounds

I can download and connect to the server if I turn the sv_downloadurl off, but with it on it gives the missing map error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You haven't renamed any of the maps before or after compressing?

The format should be

Map on Server - xxxxxxx.bsp
Map on FDL - xxxxxxx.bsp.bz2

Also make sure that all the materials/models/particles etc that come with the map are on the FDL server.

Finally it could be as simple as changing your redirect cvar to

sv_downloadurl "http://elec0.com/games/tf2/"

Failing that try a map on the FDL that is not compressed and see if that loads.

Nope, haven't renamed anything.
All the maps are PakRatted, so there shouldn't be any need to upload mats.
I'll try adding the /, and if that doesn't work I'll try with the bsp. I'll let you know what happens.

Thanks.

check your access.log after the in game download fails

then you'll see what it actually tried to fetch and what it got back from the server

Where is that? I tried to search for it but nothing was found.
Also, I renamed the bz2 file on my website and uploaded the bsp and I still got the missing map error.

Dont add the / to the end. It does not need to be there.

The problem is your redirect is set up incorrectly and will not work.

You have this.

sv_downloadurl "http://elec0.com/games/tf2"

The redirect has to follow the exact file structure from and including the tf folder so you should actually have it set up like this:

sv_downloadurl "http://elec0.com/games/tf"

And then your ensuing file path structure should follow the same as the server. Example

http://elec0.com/games/tf/maps
http://elec0.com/games/tf/materials
http://elec0.com/games/tf/sound (Notice i have removed the "s" from the end)
http://elec0.com/games/tf/models

And some more notes:

- Make sure that the access is set up correctly on your webserver so that people can directly download the files without login/access required etc. If the file cannot be downloaded directly by any user, then it will not work.

- With you using bzips on your redirect, ensure that your actual Server map folder has both the Bzips and the original bsp's

You can name the 'main' folder whatever you want. You could even call it cstrike or CommandAndConquer:
http://elec0.com/games/CommandAndConquer
or use a subdomain:
http://fastdl.elec0.com
All that matters is the folder layout within that main folder.

[Elec0]

Okay, I did all that and it still gave me the error.

About which map?

[Elec0]

A custom map called surf_first.
The bsp and bz2 are on the server, and the bz2 is in the maps folder on my website.
