Possible help with server/server's fast dl

(1/3) > >>

Hi, im Xx!CntTouchThis!xX.
          I am here to ask about help with fast dl. If I am correct for fast dl to work you must setup a ftp. I have set up a ftp and my server commands are this.

sv_allowupload 1
sv_allowdownload 1
sv_downloadurl "ftp://*My ip would be here*/garrysmod/"

It doesn't seem to make the dl faster. I would really like this so I don't need to narrow down a bunch of files on ULX forced downloads or have to sacrifice stuff for my users because I cant get fast dl to work. BTW I use Filezilla server and client.

JamminR:
1) Not sure you can host using FTP..think it has to be HTTP.
2) Using your same ip will lag the players connected to your game. Thats the whole reason it supposed to be faster..Gmod won't download to connecting people more than 20% of your bandwidth set for each player. If  you open up your same connection you run the game servers on, and it's a home connection not meant for mass serving of data (like a web/data hosting would), then any time someone connects, it will take up whatever your internet can send, causing lag to your gmod players.

I realize that and i have a actual web host now. This has a public_htm folder. To more questions. As I showed in the beginning of the post sv_allowupload and sv_allowdownload are set to 1. I have seen other sites say 0, others say 1. Second will this all be automatically downloaded or will I have to do something in the data/ulx/downloads.txt file?

Xx!CntTouchThis!xX:
Also to add to what I asked was about compression. If I compress the files do i just put them back normally and they will download correctly?

JamminR:
allowdown/allowup - I recommend 0 as also shown in the wiki page for setting up sv_downloadurl
Too many various exploits I've seen over the past few years use down/up load if set to 1.

Re: compression - Though you could leave maps normal and it work, your players would benefit from .bz2 compression.

ULX downloads.txt is for files as shown in the section of the 'set up' link I've given, aptly named
Content that must be manually added
