Make FastDL Faster ?

[spreadkiller]

Hi,

Does anyone know if there are some settings you can tweak to make FastDL Faster ?
Right now we have a server running with FastDL which have bandwidth: 150/100 mbit/s

it seems weird that downloading a file that is 197 kbytes should take about 10 sec ?

the guy downloading has: 13 / 2 mbit / s

maybe this is on other guys end ?

You have a separate webhost with the files in .bz2 format, right?

TCP slow start is probably to blame

No, why would we have a seperate webhost for those file formats ?

That's what [URL="http://svenskunganka.com/tutorials/other/setup-a-fastdl-for-garrys-mod.html"]FastDL[/URL] is; you're using ServerDL which has a size and download speed cap.

Ah, i thought you ment that we would need another "host" as in new IP and all that, i now realize that we have forgot to add: sv_allowdownload 0 // This disables ServerDL

Make sure you also add sv_allowupload 0 as well.

Hmm, it seems that the download works.. somehow.. we join the server and it downloads super fast :)
but once we enter the server every weapon we just added is an Error :/

If you rejoin the server it also downloads the weapons again would you know what that might be ?

It means you aren't downloading the files. Check your console after you join and see if there are any errors concerning the URLs it is trying to download from.

it seems the problem was that we didn't have "http://" in front, which is weird considering we are hosting through our own IP with no domain.
