i believe that i setup a fastDL server but im really wondering if it really works my friend said that lately after i added a big map and some content that the download time has been unbearably slow (like 15-17 minutes to download the content)
in my server.cfg i have this setup
[CODE]
sv_downloadurl "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/********/GmodFastDL/garrysmod" <tried both with and without the trailing "/"
sv_allowdownload 0
sv_allowupload 1
net_maxfilesize 100
[/CODE]
And in my DLC.lua i have the files in there
resource.AddFile("sound/sound.wav") just one example of content.
As for server side i have maps, materials, models and sounds installed to the server itself as well as on my fastDL server as well.
but i somehow get the feeling that people are downloading directly from my server pc instead of my fastDL in spite of having sv_allowdownload set to 0
anything i could be missing?
You shouldn't be using dropbox for this. They'll suspend your account because of the bandwidth usage.

well for now its only little 150-200kb sound files but really i dont know of any free alternatives.and plus i have no idea if its really being used. unless i get donations (as my server gains more people) im not willing to pay for monthly for just a server for me and like 4 friends
Dropbox won't work. Links are handled in folder outputs, but in numerical keys. They did this to prevent people from using it for static downloads.

Maybe 000webhost? You should get a paid host.
any decent host should provide a FastDL for you to use - try contacting your host.
net_maxfilesize is capped at 64 and ignored if sv_downloadurl is set to anything.
If each file has its own progress bar you're using SourceDL, if each file you download is all part of 1 large progress bar, it's FastDL. If you download the files each time you join then the files aren't actually downloading.

I currently use a VPS and Amazon CloudFront.
[QUOTE=Noi;50539174]Amazon S3 could work.[/QUOTE]
Bandwidth for S3 is expensive, plus the cost of the storage. I'd just get a cheap web host or VPS and set it as an origin for CloudFront.
