I'm going to attempt to decrease the time it takes to download files from the server. One of the steps I will be making to do this is to try moving the FastDL to a faster server if I find that players are not downloading files as fast as their connection allows. This will help reduce the large initial download for the server and any subsequent downloads after that to download additional maps, new admin skins as they are added, etc. Please provide me with the following data to help me test the current and potentially new Fast Download server: Maximum Download Speed: FastDL #1 DL Speed: FastDL #2 DL Speed: Please post that information in kiloBytes per second. IE, Chrome, and FireFox uses this measurement by default. For example, I get: Maximum Download Speed: 1400 KB/s FastDL #1 DL Speed: 855 KB/s FastDL #2 DL Speed: 900 KB/s Please test the following Links: FastDL #1: http://plaguefest.com/cstrike/maps/ze_LOTR_Mount_Doom_v3.bsp.bz2 FastDL #2: http://stats.plaguefest.com/ze_LOTR_Mount_Doom_v3.bsp.bz2 Thanks.

First you determine your max DL speed by running a speed test. http://speakeasy.net/speedtest/ Then you click on the links to the files one at a time. Determine what the peak number for speed is during the download. It should tell you while it's downloading. Normally the fastest speed you'll see is very early in the initial download. Post those numbers here. Be sure you download each file 1 at a time to keep an eye on the numbers.
Maximum Download Speed: 17097 kbps (2137.1 KB/sec transfer rate) FastDL #1 DL Speed: 466 KB/s FastDL #2 DL Speed: 377 KB/s

Max: 3000 KB/s Site5: 2100 KB/s Box: 2300 KB/s they were both still increasing in speed before the download finished, used regular ol' FF to test (since I can't get good speed readings from filezilla, sometimes it says im downloading at 5 MB/s ... silly)
I should possibly be creating a new topic about this but I think it might pertain to this situation... The issue is that I currently cannot download ANY maps. I get the missing map error. Here is the console output: ConVarRef maprate_version doesn't point to an existing ConVar SetConVar: No such cvar ( maprate_version set to 0.1), skipping No pure server whitelist. sv_pure = 0 Missing map maps/zm_base_winter_beta3.bsp, disconnecting I recently am able to play again, although I'm on a shitty computer this time around. and I also recently installed a new firewall. However that doesn't seem to be the issue, since disabling it completely still gives me the missing map issue. Perhaps someone would be kind enough to upload the full map pack for me? Or maybe it's already around somewhere? :biggrin:
lol i saw u kept trying to join and i was like hey dark then u kept rejoinning i was like ahh maybe go into ur maps and delete them? restart comp or try sv_pure 1 or something like that
I didn't know you could see me connecting :blink: I was trying different console settings that I found on google but none of them worked... The only solution so far has been to physically add the maps myself. Otherwise, I have no idea what's causing this or how to fix it. what a bummer!
Dark!<3<3 you're still my chocolate brownie love baby<3!!!! Oh yeah I can't help you. But someone should, I want dark back in the server so I can serenade him<3 :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:
Can a few more people please try downloading the map again so we can get some more data? #2 Should be the faster DL now. Thanks.
