    7 replies, posted
So I have FastDL setup with workshop, which functions almost perfectly, but I later created a google website and added a font then added the code to server.cfg . When I start up the server it doesn't download the font or even untilise that FastDL. Would anyone know the cause, i'll add my server.cfg code. [QUOTE]// server name hostname "LegacyGamingAU Serious DarkRP|FastDL|" // rcon passsword rcon_password "" // rcon disabled sv_downloadurl "https://sites.google.com/site/legacygamingfastdl/home/garrysmod" sv_allowdownload "1" sv_allowupload "1"[/QUOTE] I would really appreciate the help, because soon I will be paying for this server. I made it using srcds.
Google Sites are not suitable for FastDL, and so is DropBox.
So if I set it up with another "suitable" website hoster. Should it work?
Yes. As long as the host provides direct links to files on your webserver.
I just setup a new host with 000webhoster. I heard they were the best for FastDL so i'm going to test it now
There is no 'Best' for fast download. If they told you that, it's a load of bollocks.
They are a free webhost... I guarantee you it's shit, you won't be able to put much on it and if you do it will be wiped in a week. You can get a good FastDL for about $5 a month, less.
[QUOTE=Vladimir P;44551004]I heard they were the best for FastDL so i'm going to test it now[/QUOTE] Your FastDL server should be located in the same country as the majority of your playerbase (assuming Australia) and you should also look for a web host with a high upload speed - both of these should help your clients download the files faster. Don't forget to .bz2 compress your FastDL files :)
