    4 replies, posted
I have a Garry's Mod server, c1yd3i's corner (gmod.c1yd3i.com). I host the FastDL my self, on a super fast VPS that takes about 4 seconds for me to download a 27mb map on via Chrome.. When I connect via Garry's Mod, and my client trys to download that SAME 27mb map.... well... its been going for 10 minutes so far. Other people, have reported success but long download times as well... Can anyone tell me, whats up?

Obviously, there isn't a problem getting the file.
You should bzip2 the map. GMod will never be able to handle more than a 5mbit/s download speed with fastDL enabled. It may not even be using FastDL if it takes that long, and you should turn off sv_allowupload.
It may be because you haven't included http:// in your sv_downloadurl. Also, there's not really any reason to link the lua or data folders...
sv_allowdownload 0 sv_allowupload 0 :suicide:
Hey Guys! Got it to work, your suggestions lead me to find the cause. Problem with cloudflare, my CDN. It didn't like the [url]http://www.rockybreslow.com/fastdl[/url] so I changed it to [url]http://rockybreslow.com/fastdl[/url] :3 -c1yd3i
