Slow Map Download Speeds on my server

[weegee]

Hello,

I have a dedicated server (that I just got), and I set the map to a custom map (ex. ctf_2fort_twisted). However, the download speed of the map is unacceptable (~200 kb/s for a 24 mb download).

The problem is not my internet speed, all players have this problem. I believed it had to do with the web host of the map. The thing is, I've tried multiple web hosts (000webhost, dropbox, tf2maps), and all of them have slow speeds. Therefore, I'm starting to think the problem is coming from elsewhere.

If anyone knows what the problem could be, or at least can connect me to a seasoned server owner, please let me know. Thank you.

Other info: i use tragicservers. once the map is downloaded (after a long time) everything works fine. so only the download speed is my issue here.

Are you sure fastdl is turned on? Without it, the download speed is limited to 20 KBps (I know you said 200, but maybe that was a typo).

For fastdl to work, you must have sv_downloadurl set to the download server, sv_allowdownload set to 1, and sv_allowupload set to 1. For more info see: sv_downloadurl

thanks for the reply.

yes fastdl is turned on. i just realized i've been typing in "sv_downloadurl <url>" incorrectly by not including " " around the link. I think it defaulted to the tragicserver folder which is why the download speed remained on 200 kb/s (not a typo).

now the problem is linking to the webhost correctly. I'm trying using a dropbox link to the folder with the custom map in it. I keep getting missing map errors.

is that the map, here is a map server

ctf_2fort_twisted.bsp.bz2

http://server.clubluna.net/karina/maps/

Thanks for the link! I hope I'm allowed to use it?

But anyways, I'm still getting the missing map error. I'm not sure if it has to do with the .bz2 format? Do I need to also have a .bz2 in the server map folder?

by the way, the configuration I have right now is:

serverip>tf>download>maps>ctf_2fort_twisted.bsp

and i'm doing sv_downloadurl "http://server.clubluna.net/karina/maps/"

[weegee]

I think I fixed it!

it was sv_downloadurl "http://server.clubluna.net/karina/"

Thanks for all the help guys!
