I have web space on my website to do this, but I also have HTTP File Server running because I wanted to test and see if it's even working right. Due to the way my internet is set up (two routers, and about 7 computers that connect between the two) I felt it would be best to assign HTTP File Server to port 8000. I've forwarded all the ports that Steam needs (and my server works perfect) as well as the ports that HTTP File Server needs, so it is publically accessable.
My question is, what port does the Fast Download run off? When I point sv_downloadurl to HTTP File Server's address, it doesn't even try to connect. I tried using what I know works in a web browser to see if I can force Gmod to download them from port 8000 (since it will not work with any other port), but I don't get as much as an attempt to connect to HTTP File Server. What should I use to tell Gmod what port to connect to when downloading these files? Is it possible?
Here is my current entry into server.cfg:
"sv_downloadurl" "http://www.anyon.no-ip.org:8000/garrysmod/"
I am not sure if I am just missing files or something. According to the wiki, Fast Download does not look at Addon folder at all, and instead, the files have to be copied to the other folders. Does it still need to exist in order to function? Or, has this been changed? If needed, should I change the port that HTTP File Server uses?
-Thank you for any assistance you can offer me!

HTTP server, so it's running on port 80.

I would use the ":" too, but I don't know if it works on SRCDS.

I'm not sure if it really require the files to be copied outside of the addons folder, but I do that everytime. If you do that, you can remove the addons folder.

You should keep your HTTP server onto port 80.
Also, I guess you are running your HTTP server on the same network as your SRCDS server (according to its address). I suggest you find some free host and upload your files there, the main purpose of download servers are to keep your server's bandwidth for the game.
Thanks for the reply. I switched my HTTP File Server to port 80, and I updated the ports on my routers, but Garry's Mod is still not looking for files. Not only that, but now I cannot connect to my server. Gmod crashes when I spawn. Wouldn't Garry's mod at least request a connection if it was set up right?
